Vitra Campus的Piet Owolf-Designal花园使其全绽放首次亮相

vitra.已分享新摄影的最新添加到其公司校园 - 斜线建筑公园在Weil Am Rhein,德国,非常字面意思是绽放:常年拥抱荷兰人的沉浸式新景观花园设计师Piet Oudolf.

Populated by over 30,000 plants of largely the shrub, grass, and wildflower variety, the roughly 43,000-square-foot garden was first planted in May 2020. The garden is in an area straddling the northern and southern ends of Vitra’s sprawling campus between the VitraHaus, a Herzog & de Meuron-designed building that serves as the fabled Swiss modern furniture makers’ flagship store, and Álvaro Siza’s Factory Building. Not too far off is a modular 1953 filling station designed by Jean Prouvé (installed in 2003); a 1975 dome structure created by Charter Industries in collaboration with Thomas C. Howard (installed in 200); a Jasper Morrison-designed bus stop (2006); Carsten Höller’s Vitra Slide Tower (2014), and smaller structures and installations by the likes of Thomas Schütte, Tobias Rehberge, Renzo Piano Workshop, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and others. Frank Gehry’s Factory Building (1984) is situated just across Charles Eames Strasse.

Piet Oudolf Garden,它会向公众公开的6月底,今年夏天晚些时候将通过早秋季盛开。典型的欧冷设计的景观,Vitra校园的花园拥有自然主义,几乎野生的外观通过严谨,高精度的规划过程,使用自我再生物种通常忽略了流行的花园设计中,支持更多的装饰植物。同样的方法也用于他在纽约市的高线路上的工作(Diller Scofidio + Renfro和James Corner Field运营),芝加哥千禧公园的Lurie花园(与Kathryn Gustafson和Shannon Nichol)以及即将到来的奥杜尔夫花园底特律在Belle Isle Park。

In a press release, Vitra, which is technically headquartered not in Weil am Rhein but just across the Rhine in the Swiss municipality of Birsfelden, noted that Oudolf’s planting provides the framework for the garden while declining to “serve as mere decoration for the surrounding architecture.” As Vitra explained: “Instead, the landscaping complements the buildings and imbues them with new perspectives […] the garden aims to draw the visitor’s attention away from the buildings and down to the ground, creating a state of inspiring disorientation.”

“我希望人们在花园里失去自己而不是通过它,”奥德尔夫的景观说,他被设想为一个空间,为客人提供体验“审美和情感”的体验。

正如Vitra董事长Rolf Fehlbaum所解释的那样,Piet Oudolf Garden追随校园的景观干预措施。包括ÁlvaroSiza的角钻对冲散发的散步,将校园北端联系在佛罗里达州瓦特拉乌斯(Tadao Ando)的会议(1993)和Gehry的区域Vitra设计博物馆(1989年),南部,包括Zaha Hadid的1993年消防驻地大楼(她的第一架建造工作)和Herzog&de Meuron's Vitra Schaudepot(2016年)。

“Piet Oudolf的花园为校园增加了一个新的维度,并为游客开辟了一个新的不断变化的体验,”Fehlbaum说。
