[转载]景观设计精华——加拿大多伦多NPS屋顶花园（NPS Podium Roof

这个平台上的屋顶花园将上层定义为一个公共公园，融合高抬的走道系统，同时设计尊重综合体的历史背景，以一个真正的二十一世纪交流空间呈现在人们面前。尽管这是加拿大最开放也是最方便公共游览的一个屋顶空间，包含各种技术环境优势，但在设计时它只是被定义为一个巨大的花园，包含复杂的色泽和错落有致的材质，景观的安排突出建筑的形式和材质，为人们提供休闲娱乐聚会的好去处；同时也在周围高层中形成强烈的视觉效果。

The Podium Roof Garden re-conceives this upper level as a public park integrated with the elevated walkway system， and while respecting the complex’s heritage status， reopening it to the public as a truly engaging 21st Century space. Although it is the largest publicly accessible green roof in Canada providing a plethora of technical environmental benefits， the Podium Roof Garden is designed as a vast garden park which bears close scrutiny of its complex color and textural mosaic; is structured to closely reveal the compelling form and texture of the buildings， and provides plenty of spaces for strolling， lingering， intimacy and gathering. Simultaneously， it provides a compelling graphic legibility from the surrounding high-rise buildings.
