OMA新作 | 墨尔本Wollert邻里中心

OMA is designing a 10,000-square-metre shopping center integrated with community spaces in Melbourne, Australia. Entitled the Wollert Neighborhood Centre, the project is located in Wollert, Whittlesea, one of Victoria’s fastest-growing regions, in the suburbs of Melbourne.

沃勒特邻里中心被认为是社会基础设施，是“ 零售和社会互动权衡平等的公共体验场所 ”。尽管现有的社区活动中心通常没有得到充分利用，但OMA创建了一个围绕健康和福祉的项目，以满足商业和社区的需求。由桑德赫斯特零售公司（Sandhurst Retail）开发的项目由OMA的地区总监保罗·琼斯（Paul Jones）领导，它将零售和社区空间整合在一起，包括中央公共庭院，便利空间以及儿童保育和教育设施，以创造一个公共体验的场所。

Conceived as social infrastructure, the Wollert Neighborhood Center is “a place for communal experience where retail and social interaction weigh equal”. While existing community activity centers on their own are often underutilized, OMA created a project, centered around health and wellbeing, that caters to commercial and community needs. Developed by Sandhurst Retail, the project led by OMA’s Regional Director Paul Jones will put together retail and community spaces, including a central public courtyard, amenity spaces, and childcare and education facilities to create a place for a communal experience.

Suburban shopping centers are often places for pure consumption. […] Existing community activity centers in Wollert’s surrounding areas, separated from retail programs, are often underutilized. They fail to bring the community together. Our design weaves together retail, amenity and cultural spaces for use by people in the community with different needs. It will be a social condenser in the area. -- Paul Jones, OMA’s Regional Director

在该项目的核心，一个阴凉的院子和圆形剧场产生了“ 一个用于组织社区活动和日常活动的空间，鼓励沃勒特和邻近郊区的居民在中心花费时间并互相交流 ”。有了可触及的屋顶，该设计为空间配置创造了更多可能性。因此，可以在这些空间中实施体育，教育和都市农业。对于零售业，竖条纹提供了便利设施，儿童设施和以福利为重点的零售产品。

At the heart of the project, a shaded courtyard and an amphitheater generate “a space for curated community events and daily activities, encouraging residents in Wollert and neighboring suburbs to spend time in the Centre and engage with each other”. With an accessible roof, the design creates more possibilities for spatial configurations. Sports, education and urban agriculture can, therefore, be implemented in these spaces. For retail, vertical stripes house amenity spaces, facilities for children, and well-being-focused retail offerings.

地面层的单层停车位，也用作额外的户外公共休闲场所，与行人专用的北立面分开，“ 同时提供了连接到中心多个入口的明确定义的路线 ”。该中心被设计为城市地标，与现有的交通系统相连，并直接与大墨尔本地区相连。

Single-level parking at ground level, also used as an additional outdoor public amenity space, is separated from the pedestrian-friendly northern façade, “while offering clearly-defined routes connected to the center’s multiple entrances”. Designed as a civic landmark, the center is connected to the existing transportation systems and directly linked to the greater Melbourne area.

OMA对当今巨大的城市发展及其对城市环境和农村的影响感兴趣。沃勒特邻里中心的设计表明，建筑师和规划师如何看待澳大利亚背景下城市和乡村边缘的新社区。——大卫Gianotten，OMA的合伙人管理

OMA is interested in the vastness of urban development in the present time and its implications on both the urban environment and the rural. The design for the Wollert Neighbourhood Centre indicates how architects and planners can look at new communities at the fringe of urbanity and the countryside in the Australian context. -- David Gianotten, OMA’s Managing Partner

该中心的概念设计被想象为潜在总体规划的核心要素，为郊区创建了一个混合用途区，并提供了住宅和商业计划，该中心的概念设计正在接受地方规划部门的审查，预计建筑工程将于2023年开始。

Imagined as the central element of a potential masterplan, creating a mixed-use area for the suburb, with residential and commercial programs, the center’s conceptual design is being reviewed by local planning authorities, and construction works are expected to start in 2023.

我们聘请了世界上最知名的建筑公司之一，以确保该沃勒特市中心是最先进的设施，它将使所有利益相关者，零售商以及当然还有居民受益，这证明了我们的愿景为社区创建联系，探索和参与的场所。OMA的最大优势在于从一开始就重新考虑战略和方法，同时避免了先入为主的解决方案和方法–当我们探索提供增长区域零售的新方法时，它们是与之合作的完美团队。——Vivek Subramanian, Sandhurst Retail总监

We have engaged one of the most well-recognized architecture firms in the world to ensure this Wollert Town Centre is a state-of-the-art facility that will benefit all stakeholders, retailers and of course, residents, which is testament to our vision of creating places for communities to connect, explore and engage. OMA’s greatest strength is in rethinking strategies and approaches from first principles while avoiding preconceived solutions and approaches – they are the perfect team to collaborate with while we explore new ways of delivering growth-area retail. -- Vivek Subramanian, Sandhurst Retail director
