本项目旨在重新规划位于福冈县博多火车站前的明治公园。这片区域将会成为市民们的公共绿洲。设计者计划在毗邻九州这个重要门户的地方打造一个独具一格的公园，与周边的城市环境相融合，这一计划是通过Park-PFI（私人融资计划）来实现的。

The project aims to reorganize the existing Meiji Park situated in front of Hakata railway station, c prefecture. The space will be transformed into a citizens’ oasis. We will create a distinctive park that is appropriate to the prestigious nature of the site, being adjacent to the main gateway into Kyushu. The project takes advantage of Park-PFI (Private Finance Initiative).

该场地的周边地区现如今正在按照该城市的“博多互联”（Hakata Connected）政策进行重建。这项政策包括对私人建筑的重建、对火车站周围人行道的扩建、对七隈地铁线的延长以及对博多站前街的重新开发。改造后的城市将会呈现出充满活力的、三维立体之感，并且能够改善市民们的使用体验。

The area surrounding the existing park is currently undergoing redevelopment via the City’s ‘Hakata Connected’ policy of updating urban functionality. Work includes reconstruction of private buildings, expansion of pedestrian walkways around the station, extension of the Nanakuma Subway Line, and redevelopment of Hakata Ekimae-dori (Hakata Station Street). Results will give ambulant circulation a vigorous new three-dimensionality and will improve the overall user experience.

设计者的计划顺应城市的景观风貌，使明治公园具有三维立体度，这样的设计能够为行人提供充满活力的通行路径。公园中的悬浮三维步道由缓坡组成，将建筑的首层和二、三层连接起来，这里的建筑空间在未来将会从公开招标中选出。所有的步道均为无障碍通道，流线型的设计方便所有市民前来体验，这也为公园增添了凝聚力。步道的宽度在不同位置会有所变化。设计者还开辟了空中广场，为市民们散步、锻炼、观赏植物或欣赏公园提供场所。空中步道的设计能够起到调节使用舒适度的作用——为地面层提供遮挡，人们可以在步道下方躲避日晒和雨淋，同时也勾勒出了公园三维轮廓。

Our plan echoes the landscaping priorities, and gives Meiji Park a new three-dimensionality. Pedestrian movement will become dynamic. Floating three-dimensional walkways will present a new outline to the park, composed of gentle slopes. They will also connect ground level to the second and third floors of a new building containing spaces for occupation, tenants to be selected from publicly offered bids. All walkways will be barrier-free, flowlines welcoming all users, giving the park a sense of cohesion. Widths will fluctuate, opening up piazzas in the air to accommodate strolling, lingering, exercising, viewing plants, or watching events in the park. Walkways will function as extended eaves, outlining the park, but also protecting visitors below from sun and rain, thus functioning as comfort adjusters.

与公园相邻的四层租户大楼毗邻地铁通风塔，且面向广场。四层的高度能够有效减少对周围环境的影响。目标租户包括餐厅和健康设施等行业，总体而言，三维公园、租户大楼以及周围街道计划适配多样化的活动，形成具有吸引力的户外区域。不仅是三维人行步道，屋顶花园和从街道轴线延伸出来的纪念性楼梯都被设计成多种功能。租户大楼在未来将成为信息传输中心和交流基地。

The four-story tenant building will be adjacent to a subway ventilation tower, facing into the plaza. Its organic elevation will reduce any sense of intimidation over the surroundings. Hoped-for tenants include restaurants and wellness facilities. Overall, a diversity of activity will match the architecture, the park itself, and the surrounding streets. Attractive outdoor zones, not just the three-dimensional walkways, but also rooftop gardens and the monumental staircase extending from the street axis, will generate a plurality of purposes. The tenant building will be an informational transmission center and a base for exchange.

景观部分将会是这个公园的主要特色，目前公园内已种植了樟树和博多地区著名的栉田神社所供奉的银杏树。屋顶花园粗还重有日本夏季橙子树。设计者将会引入更多能够适应该地区自然气候的植株，打造符合博多市独特且庄重形象的绿洲公园。这座公园还将促进城市管理、社区和商业团体以及公民之间的参与和协作。

However, the landscaping will be the park’s main feature. The current park is laid out with camphor trees, and ginkos which are sacred to Hakata’s famous Kushida Shrine. A terraced garden also has Japanese summer oranges. Further vegetation, appropriate to the region’s natural environment will be introduced, forming a green oasis with a distinctive and dignified appearance suited to the City of Hakata. A system fostering engagement and collaboration between city administration, community and business groups, and private citizens will be implemented.

自古以来，博多的当地传统就是从街巷中孕育而生的，从丰臣秀吉16世纪末的城市布局以及博多咚打鼓和博多祗园山笠灯丰富多彩的节日中都能一窥这一传统。这些民俗传统共同组成了本项目的历史背景。这座三维公园将城市长廊延伸至了城市的更深处，为市民们提供更具吸引力的城市空间，如此一来，建筑物、城市、公园和街道融为一体，形成一个共享的三维空间。

Since ancient times, Hakata’s local traditions have emerged from its streets. Examples are seen in Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s late 16th century city layout, and festivals such as the Hakata Dontaku and Hakata Gion Yamagasa. These constitute historical contexts that our project inherits. The proposed landmark park will spread new promenades further into the city, with fascinating urban spaces bringing together buildings, city, park and streets, into a shared three-dimensional realm.
