“私人拥有的公共空间是纽约市公共领域的重要组成部分。 Snøhetta风景园林合伙人兼总监Michelle Delk说：“城市生活在空间内和周围蓬勃发展，使我们能够彼此联系并与自然相连。

“Privately-owned public spaces are a critical part of New York City’s public realm. Urban life thrives in and around spaces that allow us to connect with one another and to nature,” said Michelle Delk, Partner and Director of Landscape Architecture at Snøhetta.

Snøhetta的设计重新构想了该建筑的公共空间，成为了一个宽敞，茂密的植被花园。作为一个充满活力的感官静修之所，它的转型借鉴了建筑遗产，邻里活动和该地区的自然历史。麦迪逊550号新花园是一处私人公共空间（POPS），可让人们放慢脚步，徘徊并与周围的人和周围环境建立联系，并在纽约瞬息万变的城市环境中发挥强大的当代作用 。

Snøhetta’s design re-envisions the building’s public space as a generously expanded, densely vegetated garden. As a vibrant sensory retreat, its transformation draws upon the architectural heritage, the activity of the neighborhood, and the natural history of the region. As a privately-owned public space (POPS) that invites people to slow down,linger, and connect to one another and their surroundings, 550 Madison’s new garden embraces the powerful contemporary role POPS can play within the context of New York’s ever-changing urban.

新花园将在塔的西端开放公共空间，将其转变为一系列相互连接的室外“房间”，既提供安静的空间，又提供更大，更开放的区域。

The new garden will open up the public space along the west end of the tower, transforming it into a series of interconnected outdoor ‘rooms’ that provide both quiet spaces and larger, more open areas.

这些圆形的房间邀请路人在漫步穿过时逗留，允许花园为游客提供各种各样的体验:在午餐时见面和社交，在水景旁寻找休息，或体验与自然的触觉联系。从概念上说，景观回应了曼哈顿中城峡谷般的垂直性，在花园的西侧有一个青翠的、分层的地形，既减少了现有塔服务基础设施的影响，又提供了一种沉浸在花园中的感觉。

These circular rooms invite passersby to linger as they meander through, allowing the garden to accommodate a variety of experiences for its visitors: to meet over lunch and socialize, to find respite beside the water feature, or to experience a tactile connection to nature. Conceptually, the landscape responds to the canyon-like verticality of Midtown Manhattan, with a verdant, layered topography that lifts up along the west side of the garden, both minimizing the impact of existing tower service infrastructure while providing a sense of being immersed in the garden.
