Campus Landscapes and the Student Experience
Some of the most influential and cherished settings on American college campuses are the outdoor spaces that stitch buildings together. How do successful landscapes come to be?
开放、包容、连系——是校园三个主要景观项目的共通点，基地和建筑因而紧密结合
圣心大学校园景观
The chapel's design is fully integrated with a network of open spaces around it, including opportunities for outdoor classes, an extension of indoor functions, and places for contemplation
Sasaki与圣心大学的协作始于十五年前，当时的任务是为大学制定全面的总体规划方案。位于康涅狄格州费尔菲尔德、占地23公顷的圣心大学校园，建于一所罗马天主教高中的原址上，几栋原有建筑一直沿用至今。Sasaki为校园制定的总体规划和几个后续设计项目丰富了校园的社会、精神和物理层面，并在功能和美学上提升了建成环境的质量。在完成总体规划工作之后，Sasaki先后进行了三个重要的建筑设计项目，包括新教堂（2009）、新学生综合大楼（2012）和最新落成的马泰尔商务与传播中心（2015），这些建筑物借由一连串同中有异的景观元素联系起来，为校园带来革命性的变化。
圣心教堂以开放和多元共融为设计要素，照顾学生在学业、人际交流和灵性上的需要。教堂及其前方的大型绿地地处校园中必经的十字路口，除了发挥凝聚群体生活的作用外，两者更与周边的开放空间网络充分整合，室内的课堂和活动因此可延伸到露天地方进行，要享受个人宁静的时光，这些露天空间也适合不过。各有特色的开放空间和静谧的花园既可用于举办正式活动，也是非常规的聚会场所。主露天广场是通往教堂的主要入口，在这个抬升的庭院旁边， 近25米高的石造钟楼拔地而起，为教堂赋予象征意义。自庭院而下的是通往主四方院的宽敞楼梯，由此形成的大型平台为毕业典礼和各种户外节目提供理想场地。另一长方形庭院用豆石铺切而成，悉心栽种的果树为雕塑长椅提供绿荫，在校园主要的交叉路口一旁营造出雅致的歇息空间。教堂西侧是一个由石墙围成的私人庭院，气氛恬静的廊院通过一道透明隔墙与教堂祭坛连接。

选址在校园北侧门户位置的马泰尔中心容纳了商学院和传播学院，这个集多功能于一体的建筑是校园里活力满载的教学汇点。主入口庭院设有一个结合雕塑艺术的反光水景，景观之中的矮墙可充当座位，成为绿树林荫的聚会场地；下层入口庭院则提供通往校园南面的人行通道，人们从校园步行至建筑物途中，可欣赏到富代表性的拱道景观。下层入口庭院、花园和主入口庭院三者之间，借由排列整齐、形态优美的树木在公园大道上建立了密切联系。
The Martire Center landscape acts as a formal front door to the campus from the north, and a pedestrian gateway back into the campus to the south
The lower entry court, the parking garden, and the main entry court at Park Avenue are overlaid with a series of regionally prevalent tree plantings
Pedestrians flowing from the core campus over the south court’s “zipper” pavement which leads to the building’s iconic archway
Pavement, planting, lighting, and benches weave the Martire Center into the larger campus landscape
The campus-facing south court and lawn works with the building’s monumental arch to link pedestrians back to the campus
The project respects and incorporates campus standard materials, including concrete paving and precast benches, while adding project-specific materials like granite and colored concrete for the entry carpets

Attention to detail elevates pathways and stairs to graphic heights
学生综合大楼坐落校园多条车道和人行道的交汇之处，来往于主要教学场地、新教堂、宿舍和体育设施之间的同学和老师们都必须路经此地，这里因而人来人往，十分热闹。因着基地的高差，建筑物如同成为了上层与下层校园的桥梁，其作为校园生活节点的角色更见明显。学生综合大楼的景观策略简单直接：东侧入口庭院和西侧小型广场都以暗色混凝土为铺路材料，前者摆放了一系列预制的木板饰面混凝土长凳，渗透悠闲氛围，后者设计简洁，位列一旁的狭长矮凳引领访客走向建筑物入口；在照明方面，东西两地都选用了与路面齐平的灯具，以保持简约的格调。大楼以北的景观台阶把东西两个广场连接起来，并在上下层校园之间建立重要的人行通道。
The landscape for the Student Commons is simple and direct: both the entry court to the east and the small plaza to the west are clad in dark concrete pavers with flush lighting fixtures for effect
On the entry court, a series of precast concrete and wood benches create places for casual interaction
