美国底特律市中心重建

所 在 地：美国 底特律

这个“底特律隆重开放”设计的目的，是希望创造在这座城市中心建造一个7天24小时无休的、充满活力与人气的地区，并且以Woodward Avenue Corridor零售商店为实现的催化剂。这个方案由多名设计师共同合作完成，分别是Chung Whan Park， Terry Park， Jeong Jun Song， Hyuntek Yoon和Kyung Jae Yu。他们希望通过与周围地区的城市基础设施的联系，为这里带来不间断的活力、人群和令人难忘的底特律城市印象。尽管在过去的几十年里，底特律市中心的人口和活动都有减少，但是最近的文化设施（如剧院、体育场）、写字楼和商业设施的涌入都给这个地区带来了前景乐观的发展空间。但是由于Woodward Corridor商店营业时间的限制，还没能完全实现24小时无间断保持活力。这个项目希望完全唤起底特律市中心的活力，所以在原有文化设施的基础上，鼓励各种商业零售店延长营业时间。这里已经有了24小时开门的Arcade百货商店，和延长了开放时间的艺术画廊。Woodward Avenue建成后，连同原有的单轨系统，都将与未来的轻轨线联系。这个“隆重开放”项目将会改变过去充满活力的J.L.哈德逊商业地区，转变成一个充满活力的居住、工作、游览、娱乐和投资的社区。这里还会将底特律市中心和其他地区联系在一起，吸引更多的当地人和游客来这个新的城市中心。这个区域在南部商业区和北部中心文化艺术区之间。通过联系每个地区不同的活动和场地，为这里同时带来不同的能量和活力。除了大型商店Woodward Avenue，为了充实这里，很重要的一点就是重建城市走廊，加强建筑主轴线。现有的单轨和新规划的轻轨系统都会经过这个地区，为这里送来了大量客流，这个建筑也成为两个交通系统的交汇点。综合考虑了以上方面，本设计定位将成为底特律繁华热闹的新中心，连接着城市中的各空间。

这个“底特律隆重开放”的项目主要包括：

通过刺激商业活动和鼓励客流量，创造一个独特的公共空间，吸引更多的商户和消费者。

延长报刊亭、商场、餐厅、酒吧的营业时间多一些季节性活动和节庆活动，打造良好的购物聚会活动体验，这样人们无论日夜都会选择到这里来。

提供优质的艺术和设计工作和公共展示空间，方便这个地区的教育机构、艺术社区和游客参观。

重塑历史性的大规模旗舰店和这里的时尚、艺术和设计氛围。

这里还为逐渐增加的人口提供了253户住宅和32898平方米的A级办公空间，改善现状的居住和办公空间。

由于位于市中心的地理位置，这里的办公、住宅、商店和公寓的租金都很贵。

节点二主要是通过连接两种公共交通方式，最大化地吸引人群。

这个方案在底特律原有地城市肌理上发展起来，并不是将全新的概念生硬地加入，减少风险。

The mission in the proposal， titled ‘The Grand Opening，’ for the Redesigning Detroit: A New Vision for an Iconic Site competition is to create a vision for a 24/7 timeless， vibrant and walk-able urban neighborhood in downtown Detroit with a catalytic impact on the retail activities of Woodward Avenue Corridor. Designed by Chung Whan Park， Terry Park， Jeong Jun Song， Hyuntek Yoon and Kyung Jae Yu， The Grand Opening will connect the different contexts of the existing urban settings and bring every hour of excitement， crowd and memorable identity to the street life of downtown Detroit. Despite the declining population and activities of the downtown Detroit in past decades， recent influx of major cultural facilities， such as theaters and sports stadiums as well as major office headquarters and commercial programs have established optimistic progress that the downtown Detroit could flourish again. Yet， the programs have not fully activated street life of downtown due to its limited hours of activity and nature of being inside， specifically the retails of Woodward Corridor. The plan for The Grand Opening is to completely revitalize street life of downtown Detroit by filling the temporal gap of an existing cultural facilities and commercial district adjacent to the site and encouraging retail activities with timeless programs， including “the Arcade”， a Department Store， and an Art Gallery with extended hours of operation. This plan will be facilitated by the physical advantages， such as proximity to the future light rail system on Woodward Avenue and existing monorail system. The mixed-use development of The Grand Opening will transform the former J.L Hudson’s site， once one of the most vibrant retails， into a signature place for residing， working， employing， visiting， living， playing and investing in a vibrant community， as well as a gateway of connecting downtown Detroit and rest of the midtown Detroit， attracting every local residents and visitor to the New Downtown Detroit. The site is located in between the commercial / business district on the south and the major cultural， arts district to the north. By contextually connecting the different characteristics and activities of each districts， and by bringing the different context into the site at the same time， the site will be filled with energy and excitement. The site is on Woodward Avenue， one of the most significant shopping alleys in downtown. While the site remains empty since the demolition， it is important to re-establish the urban corridor and strengthen the axis by filling the empty site with a facade that accommodates the scale and materials of the adjacent buildings facing Woodward Avenue.The existing monorail and the newly proposed light rail system passing on the sides of the site gives a great opportunity to directly bring people into the site， and creating a connection between the two transportation method will maximize the effect. Taking all these aspects into account， the proposed design is in a combined form of a dense urban block and a grand openings on either sides of the block creating a unique linkage and an urban room that will contain and spread out the energy and excitement in downtown Detroit.
The Components of The Grand Opening’s vision include:
1) Stimulate the retail activities and encourage foot traffics of Woodward Corridor by creating unique public arcade space with accommodation of maximum number of storefronts， merged directly from the Woodward Avenue to bring in more people and provide extended retail opportunities.
2) Extend hours of activities including kiosks， retails， gourmand dining， bar， seasonal events and festivities to provide unique shopping and gathering experience where people would want to spend more time during day and night.
3) Provide access to quality art and design workshops and public exhibition of collaborative works to the regional educational institutions， art communities， and visitors.
4) Restore the historical remembrance of the one of the most important retail corridor with massive flagship store and the icon for fashion， art and design.
5) Supply 253 housing with 20 percent of affordable units and 354，199 sf of class-A office spaces in countermeasure for current office and residential deficit of the downtown Detroit market， due to recent increase in the number of new employees and company headquarters.
6) Maximize the rental revenue from office， residential， retail， and department by stationing them in their prime location by the function.
7) Node two major existing and proposed public transportation to bring the biggest crowd to the Hudson’s site and all of the downtown Detroit， and connecting downtown and midtown Detroit.
8) Minimize the risk by utilizing and reinforcing existing framework of urban context to bring economic development and potential future opportunities， rather than introducing new programs into the Hudson’s site.
