由hcma architecture + design与Dub Architects以联合体形式设计、并协同场地自行车专业事务所FaulknerBrowns Architects合作完成的埃德蒙顿市加冕公园体育与休闲中心,罕见地融合了社区休闲枢纽与高性能运动训练设施两大功能。其抬升式自行车赛道位于地面以上整整一层,外围环绕跑步道,从而在赛道下方、内部及周边灵活布置多种社区空间。该设计的关键特征在于地面城市球场与自行车赛道之间形成的无遮挡视线通廊:此举不仅使高速骑行活动对公众可见,亦增强了整体空间感知度与动态活力感,有望激励下一代运动员。
The City of Edmonton's Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre, designed in joint venture by hcma architecture + design and Dub Architects, in collaboration with velodrome experts FaulknerBrowns, offers the rare combination of a community recreation hub with a high-performance sports training facility. Its elevated cycling track, unusually placed a full storey above ground level and encircled by a running track, allows for a variety of community spaces to be located beneath, within, and around it. A defining feature of this design is the unobstructed sightline established between the ground-level urban court and the cycling track. This not only makes high-speed cycling visible to the public, it also heightens overall spatial awareness and a sense of dynamic activity that will hopefully inspire the next generation of athletes.
