在一场设计竞赛之后，哈德逊河公园信托基金和商人、慈善家巴里·迪勒(Barry Diller)指定Heatherwick工作室在曼哈顿西南河畔建造一座新的码头。码头需要一个公共公园和世界级的户外表演空间。

Following a design competition the Hudson River Park Trust and businessman and philanthropist Barry Diller appointed Heatherwick Studio to build a new pier on Manhattan’s southwest riverside. The pier needed to be both a public park and a world class outdoor performance space.

Heatherwick工作室对哈德逊河上数百个突出的旧木桩很感兴趣，它们是之前存在的旧码头的结构遗存，工作室想知道新码头的身份是否可以源于对其结构的关注。这个想法逐渐演变成将需要的新混凝土桩接出水面，向天空延伸，形成绿色景观的一部分。当它们相遇时融合在一起，这些单独的桩合在一起形成了公园的地形。

Interested in the hundreds of old wooden piles which stuck out of the Hudson River as the structural remains of the old piers that had previously existed, the studio wondered if the identity of the new pier could come from focusing on its structural piers. The idea evolved to take the new concrete piles that would be needed and to continue them out of the water, extending skyward to raise up sections of a green landscape. Fusing as they meet, these individual piles come together to form the topography of the park.

将公园的新部分抬高到空中，不仅可以抵消邻近道路的迎风效果，还可以满足户外剧院和表演空间的需要，因为倾斜的座位可以形成景观，给观众提供更好的视野。

Raising the new piece of park up into the air could not only counteract the windswept quality of the big adjacent road but also work well with the need for outdoor theatre and performance spaces, as raked seating could be shaped into the landscape to give the audience better views.

最终的设计形成了一个循环桩系统，每个循环桩在顶部形成一个宽敞的花盆。然后，每个花盆在不同的高度以镶嵌的模式连接，创建一个单一的可操作的景观。在这片数千吨的新土地上，将种植一百多种适应纽约恶劣气候的本地树木和植物。其结果是一个独特的地形，当你走在下面进入，以及从上面的280桩升起的水可以体验。

The resulting design developed as a system of repeating piles which each form a generous planter at their top. Every planter then connects in a tessellating pattern at different heights to create a single manipulated piece of landscape. More than a hundred different species of indigenous trees and plants suited to the harsh extremes of New York climate will be planted within the thousands of tonnes of new soil of this landscape. The result is a unique topography that can be experienced as you walk underneath to enter, as well as from above as the 280 piles rise up out of the water.

新码头不仅是一个风景优美的公园，而且将是一个能容纳700多人的室外剧院，一个能容纳200人的小型表演场地，一个能容纳3500人的主场地，以及许多通道和观景台。该项目将于2021年春季完工。

As well as being a beautifully landscaped public park, the new pier will be a hardworking object that contains an outdoor theatre for over 700 people, a smaller performance space for 200, a main space for 3,500 and many pathways and viewing platforms.

The project is due to complete in Spring 2021.
