Ta城市中转中心

寒江吹雪

所 在 地：美国
这是由WRNS工作室设计的美国Tahoe城市中转中心。上个世纪，Tahoe湖成为了一个风景优美的旅游胜地。这一地区已经成为一个住宅社区，也是一个非常受欢迎的休闲地。距此四个小时的驾驶距离，大约有1150万的人群都会到这里度假休闲。因此，交通拥挤，停车位不足和污染已经开始威胁Tahoe湖以及湖周围的自然环境。为了鼓励大家使用公共交通，普莱瑟县的公共工作部门委托WRNS工作室在加州Tahoe城中设计一个中转中心。
新建的Tahoe城市交通中心包括，表面停车位130个，一个总线回路供六个地区的公交车，一个中转交通设施包括两个卫生间，行政空间，和内置的自行车储物柜，以及供40个人使用的封闭式的会议室。总线回路作为整体配套设施的一部分，配有两边都可以装卸的公共汽车，设施的最小化目的是为了节约更多的空间，屋顶的形状像一艘船，长的木条沿底面排列，屋顶是有几个石头柱子支撑，在这里可以欣赏到下面优美的地面景观。屋顶的设计最高承受雪的重量是250英镑。一个雪融系统在屋顶边缘收集融化下来的雪水，在这里还有一个雨水收集系统可以收集水槽里的水，这些被回收的水存储在一个4000加仑的水箱中，并可以重新利用在冲洗厕所和灌溉上。
这一地址的网络布局将绿色树木考虑在内，建立了步行通道和自行车道。可持续的景观包括采用了当地材料和低水种植和植被的透水路面停车区域。建筑可以以多种形式保存能量，屋顶的叠层太阳能集成，承载了整座建筑的超大负荷。可操作的窗户和天窗促进了自然通风。宽阔的屋顶檐在温暖的月份里提供了遮荫。在寒冷的几个月里，屋顶的角度可以令阳光直射，经过树木的过滤，可以照亮狭长的地板。热质量的巨大墙壁高性能的绝缘玻璃，太阳辐射的供暖方式又减少了能源的消耗。一系列的青铜斑块，诠释了中转交通中心的可持续元素，帮助游客们理解他们与自然环境的联系。

At the turn of the last century， Lake Tahoe became a scenic holiday
destination. The region has since become a year-round residential community as
well as a popular recreational retreat for the roughly 11.5 million people
living within a four-hour driving distance. As a result， traffic congestion，
inadequate parking， and pollution have begun to threaten Tahoe’s natural
resources. To encourage greater reliance on public transportation， the Placer
County Department of Public Works commissioned WRNS Studio to design an
intermodal transit center in Tahoe City， California.
The Tahoe City Transit
Center incorporates surface parking for 130 cars， a bus loop for six regional
buses， and a transit facility with two restrooms， administrative space， built-in
bike lockers， and an enclosed meeting area for up to 40 people. Configuring the
facility as a bus loop， with buses loading and unloading on both sides，
minimized the facility’s footprint as much as possible. Shaped like a boat， with
long wooden slats along the underside， the roof is supported by a few stone
columns to allow views of the landscape to pass underneath. The roof is designed
to hold snow up to 250 pounds a foot. A snow melt system around the edge of the
roof gradually melts the snow， and a rainwater harvesting system collects the
water in gutters， stores it in a 4，000-gallon cistern， and reuses it for
irrigation and toilet flushing.
The site layout incorporates existing trees
and established walking and cycling paths. Sustainable landscape strategies
include pervious pavement in the parking areas， use of local materials， and
low-water native planting and vegetation. Although modern in form， the building
references its context by bringing together two of the areas predominant
materials， Sierra granite and western red cedar.
The building conserves
energy in a number of ways. Laminated solar cells are integrated into the roof，
supplying most of the facility’s peak load. Operable windows and a clerestory
facilitate natural ventilation. The broad roof eaves provide shade in the warm
months; in the cold months， the angle of the roof allows direct sunlight，
filtered by the trees， to illuminate the narrow floor plate. Thermally massive
walls， high-performance insulated glazing， and radiant heating further reduce
energy consumption. A series of bronze plaques embedded in the granite walls
explains the transit center’s sustainable elements， helping visitors to
understand their connection to the natural environment.
