Parking Lot Turned Green Space: Lifting the Asphalt

A planar parking lot in the process of being partially transformed into green space. The original continuous asphalt pavement is partially cut open and removed, revealing the sub-base and soil beneath. New planting strips are established in these uncovered areas. The remaining asphalt sections still allow for parking and walking, retaining the original white parking lines, which are cut off at the edge of the green space. Thus, the ground presents a patchwork of asphalt and soil with irregular boundaries. Newly planted trees are still small but already have clear tree pits and space for root expansion. Several simple seating groups and a rain garden are present. This gradual transformation preserves original traces and maintains flexibility. Avoid: removing all asphalt to create a complete park, eliminating traces of parking lines, making the boundaries regular geometric shapes, using mature large trees that obscure the process.

一個平面停車場被部分改造成綠地的過程狀態。原本整片的柏油鋪面被局部切開移除,露出下方的級配與土壤,新的植栽帶就種在這些被掀開的區塊中;保留的柏油部分仍然可以停車與行走,並保留了原本的白色停車格線,線條在綠地的邊緣被切斷。因此地面呈現柏油與土壤交錯的拼貼狀態,邊界是不規則的。新種的喬木還很小但已經有明確的樹穴與擴根空間。幾組簡單的座椅與一個雨水花園。這種漸進的改造保留了原本的痕跡也保留了彈性。避免:把柏油全部移除做成完整的公園、消除停車格線的痕跡、把交界做成規整的幾何、使用成熟的大樹讓過程看不出來。
