罗湖公共领域复兴

殖民时代的建筑特色在更新后的芜湖中心城区重现眼前，作为长江沿岸的国际通商口岸和文化重镇，城市的魅力再度绽放
芜湖城市更新
The project, which spans 67 hectacres on the banks of the Yangtze River, centers on distinctive colonial buildings scattered throughout the city's urban fabric
滨临长江的芜湖市在1876年因《烟台条约》成为通商口岸，这独特的历史地位让芜湖慢慢发展为享有国际地位的商业中心。散落城里各处的特色殖民建筑，描画出别样的城市肌理，历史悠久的老海关大楼、大英领事馆和圣若瑟主教座堂等虽是城中不可或缺的地标文物，但却是彼此孤立，缺乏关联。
因其战略地位，芜湖以及其他中国城市在十九世纪时先后被外国殖民统治，并发展为通商港口，这样的历史沿革促使了芜湖成为全球商贸网络的重要节点。芜湖主要建在河上高地，除了基于战略考虑，也是殖民统治者强调其精英意识的表现。殖民时代纵然过去，城市空间中物理与心理的隔阂却依然存在，这不仅体现在收入差距和失调社会的不均等，也体现在破碎化的空间网络以及人民与滨水空间的隔离。
The urban design strategy is organized around three major blocks—Changying, Party School, and Fanluo Mountain
Pedestrian links create an intentional sequence which integrates a new civic program into the historic buildings, while new infill buildings activate the public realm along this important connection to the water
Sasaki在2017年应芜湖市政府委托重构芜湖的中心城区。方案的关键策略在于重新连接城市中心和滨水区，同时将分散的历史遗址整合，以一体化的方式呈现城中丰富的历史文化。通过悉心规划的步行连廊，行人在历史建筑之间游走，新建的市民设施有序列的穿插其中，嵌入式的新开发项目将激活沿途的公共空间，最终到达滨水公园。由主要行人通廊延伸开来的小街小巷，把一度封闭的核心区域接通，在营造更有魅力的城市体验之余，更使市中心变得通行可达，便利游人与居民。

修复后的历史建筑将获得全新的文化功能，建筑物周边的公共空间也将一改旧有形象。方案看准范罗山位居城市中心高地的地理优势，在山上建造博物馆园区，借由这样的公共建筑，一度被隔绝遗忘的历史文化风景将有机会重现人前。圣若瑟主教座堂一旁的新月形广场从地面抬升，处理并连接了范罗山和滨水公园之间的高差，是整道文化通廊的重心。为确保良好的观景视角，团队进行了一系列视域通廊研究，历史建筑与河岸之间的视线保持畅通无阻。方案所确立的城市设计导则，不仅对历史建筑的立面优化作出规范，也提出以新旧共融为未来发展的重点。
