Landfills: Mountains After Thirty Years

An urban hill park transformed from a closed landfill. The terrain consists of large, gentle artificial hills, with consistent slopes and rounded lines, clearly not natural mountains. The surface is covered with thick soil and herbaceous plants, primarily drought-tolerant prairie-style plantings, swaying with the wind. On the hills are several white or dark gray methane vents, distributed at regular intervals, like a set of sculptures, not hidden. Paths wind along the contour lines, edged with gravel and weathering steel. The top is an open platform overlooking the city. Due to ongoing subsidence and gas production beneath the soil layer, no large deep-rooted trees are planted. Avoid: hiding methane pipes and engineering facilities, planting large trees, making the terrain look like natural mountains, adding elaborate flower beds and hard paving.

一座由封閉垃圾掩埋場改造的都市山丘公園。地形是巨大而平緩的人工丘陵,坡度一致、線條圓潤,一看就不是自然的山;表面覆蓋著厚厚的土壤與草本,以耐旱的草原式種植為主,隨風起伏。丘陵上有數根白色或深灰的沼氣排放管,以規律的間距分佈,像一組雕塑,並沒有被隱藏。步道沿著等高線繞行,以碎石與耐候鋼收邊。頂部是一個開闊的平台可以俯瞰城市。因為土層下方仍在沉陷與產氣,不種深根的大喬木。避免:隱藏沼氣管與工程設施、種植大型喬木、把地形做成自然山林的樣子、加入精緻的花圃與硬鋪面。
