在项目场地上有一个建于13世纪的城堡,它在中世纪时期是一个非常受欢迎和尊敬的场所,位于诺尔河的十字交叉口,在当时具有非常重要的战略性意义。在这中间有一条街道将这座城堡与主大街相连,这条街道也是这座城是很有纪念意义的历史景观。它从城堡的入口处开始,两边是乔治时代的建筑和枝干繁茂的大树。这条运河得到沿着河岸展开,同时将城堡与周边的运河广场连接在一起。这些城市景观的象征性意义已经不能从它现在的外观上看出来了。
在该项目中,设计团队希望能够从更深层的意义来理解这些公共景观,然后利用一些设计方式将它们重新联系在一起,这也意味着要将新元素与旧元素结合在一起,景观材料的选用也要能够符合这座城市整体的格调,这是非常不容易的。设计团队希望改造后的景观不仅能够反映出它深厚的文化历史,而且也能具有很强的功能性,满足人们的精神需求。

The 13th Century Castle, dominates the mediaeval city, standing on a strategic height commanding the crossing of the River Nore. The Parade connects the Castle to High Street and is the most significant urban space in the city. It rises towards the Castle entrance and is bordered by Georgian facades and mature trees. The Canal Walk connects along the river connects the Castle grounds to Canal Square.The symbolic importance of these urban spaces was no longer matched by their physical reality.
The project seeks to understand these underused public spaces, unify them as a continuous condition in which old and new elements and materials meet to accommodate the scale of the individual experience and the life of the town. The approach gives precedence both to the strength of the historical context and to the public use of these spaces.
