街道才是城市的本质，只有街道，才没有偏见地向所有人打开空间。
——【法】包赞巴克
衡山路，是衡复历史文化风貌区的重要道路。作为上海的上只角地区，100多年来，衡山路一直以其独特的形象塑造着其在上海人和外界心中的标志性目的地。而今天，衡山路的形象与空间越来越失去其个性，街道，与许多上海旧城区一样，面临着城市更新。我们认为，街道不仅仅是作为通行空间的基础设施，街道更新也不仅仅是街道绿化和街道家具的更新，其更核心的本质是作为城市的公共空间，承载着城市丰富多样的公共生活。
Hengshan road is an important road in Hengfu historical and cultural district. As the uptown of Shanghai, Hengshan road impacts Shanghai with its special character for more than 100 years. However, its key feature is fading little by little nowadays. Streets, like many old districts of Shanghai, are facing urban renewal. We believe, streets are not only urban infrastructure for vehicle traffic. Also, street renewal is not only about street green space renewal or street furniture replacement. Its key essence should be urban public space that holds various public life.
衡山路作为上海城市主干道，承担着重要的机动车交通需求，且衡山路两侧有大量的历史保护建筑。因此本次设计重点放在步行交通体验和空间提升上。通过对步行路径、时间等的分析，可以看出衡山路的步行优势较大，通过对衡复风貌区旅游热点、活动热点（数据来源：蚂蜂窝、豆瓣）的提取分析，我们认为，为衡山路注入新的热点，是实现街道更新、重塑衡山路性格特色的重要手段。
Hengshan road is urban artery, bearing great vehicle traffics. Besides, there are many historical preservation buildings along it. Thus, the design focuses on improving pedestrian experience and spatial quality. Through the analysis of walking path and time, we could see that Hengshan road has many walking advantages. Through the analysis of tourism hot spots and activities(data from Mafengwo and Douban), we consider, bring in new hot spots, is an essential method of reviving the street and reshaping its character.
我们认为，未来的衡山路应该是充满持续热力的街道，是一个可以提供乐趣的场所，它是可读的（Readable），可吃的（Edible），可玩的（Playable），可享的（Enjoyable）。它的线型空间为路过的行人提供了更好的观赏性和参与性，为居民和游客提供了更好玩的地标目的地。在设计中，通过对衡山路沿线空间进行梳理，我们发现大量的消极绿化空间、低品质步行空间、以及部分废弃或可做改造的建筑。我们为13处这样的空间赋予了新的功能和空间特征，点亮衡山路最好玩的吸精热点，给予其热情的街道性格，使其烹制一道热辣的料理，让来到这里的人都能与衡山路谈一场热恋。
We believe, Hengshan road shall become an on-going hot spot that provides fun. It is readable, edible, playable and enjoyable. The linear space provides better ornamental value and participation possibilities for pedestrians, and more interesting landmarks for residents and tourists. For the current situation, there are a lot negative green space, inferior walking space, and few dilapidated or transformable buildings. We design new function and spatial feature for 13 of them.
【衡山食物公园】【Hengshan food-park】
现状衡山公园虽然对外开放，但利用率很低。设计增加趣味性的城市种植桶，种植有机蔬菜和果树，提供儿童活动设施，定期举办社区有机蔬果集市，让衡山公园成为学习、参与、休憩和交流的场所，成为新的城市公园地标。
Though the existing Hengshan Park is open to public, it is not a popular and attractive place. The design puts fun vegetation barrels in the park, growing organic vegetables and fruits. It also provides children playground and holds regular community vegetable market. Hengshan food-park will become a place of learning, participation and recreation, a new park landmark of Shanghai.
【蔬菜盘子】【Vegetable tray】
凯文咖啡馆旁的街头绿地是一块被浪费的空间。现状的绿植和廊架并未为行人和游客提供很好的停留和活动空间，也并未标志出场地的特性。设计将现状封闭的绿地空间改造为开放的公共活动空间。5层高的构筑物将绿植垂直化，并且提供了俯瞰徐家汇公园和衡复公园的平台。地面对场地进行重新划分，为咖啡厅外摆、活动餐车和公共休憩广场分别划定空间，实现空间的高效利用，并鼓励交流和公共活动的发生。
The green space outside of Keven Cafe has been wasted. The plants and pergola doesn’t provide decent space for pedestrians and tourists, while doesn’t mark the character of the site. The design transforms the negative green space to positive open space. The 5-storey tray structure integrates plants in vertical direction, while also provides a platform for overseeing Xujiahui Park and Hengshan Park. The ground space is redivided to suit different functions, such as outdoor cafe tables, food trucks and square. It increases the efficiency of use, and encourages communication and activities to happen.
【读与吃】【Read and Eat library and gallery】
小区与道路中间用绿化隔离带分开，造成了消极的街道界面。设计移除抬高的种植池，以模块化的小尺度建筑和绿地重新塑造界面。以“读与吃”为主题，设置小型甜品店、书店、青年艺术家画廊等，增添街道界面的可参与性。以可转动的墙面标志建筑入口，使步行体验更加有趣。
Green space divides residential community and roads, resulting in negative street interface. The design replaces elevated plant ground by small-scale architectures and green space. With the theme “read and eat”, small desert shop, bookstore, and young artists gallery is brought to the street to increase interaction. Rotating wall marks the entrance of buildings to make walking experience more interesting.
【味道图书食堂】【Taste library refectory】
现状为两栋二层违建居住建筑，通过一条小巷可以到达。设计维持了原有的建筑尺度和主要框架，赋予玻璃等通透材质，改造为一个小型社区美食图书馆和一个艺术展览馆，并提供小型开放餐饮空间。同时整合周边场地空间，形成一处安静、独特的公共活动场所。
Two existing 2-storey residential buildings which to be transformed can be accessed from an alley with an entrance door. The design keeps their original scale and basic structure, while adding transparent material, such as glass to form the building surface. The new function is a small community food library and an art exhibition house with food services. The outdoor space is also redesigned to create quiet and special public activity space.
【膜运动馆】【Mo·sports】
现状为一栋三层临街的废弃建筑，但其拱廊及其与建筑围合的三角形场地具有独特的标志性。设计保留原建筑的外墙结构，打通内部空间，将其改造为一处膜运动场馆，在室外设置小型运动设施，为城市白领和青少年提供一处释放压力、运动交流的场所。其侧面外墙加固并改造为攀岩墙，临近一处小型废弃建筑改造为运动品商店，形成地铁站附近的一处运动地标。
The existing 3-storey building besides street is dilapidated. However, the triangular space between the building and arcade is remarkable. The design keeps its exterior wall structure and break interior floors to make it a sports hall with membrane facilities. Together with outdoor sports facilities, to make it a place of relaxation and communication for young white-collar workers and teenagers. The exterior wall is reinforced and converted to a climbing wall. The other adjacent building is transformed to a sports shop. The place will become a new sports landmark near metro station.
【爱如氧气盒子】【Loving oxygen box】
【滑动市集】【Slidable market】
街道一侧是生硬的围墙和狭窄的人行道，一侧是教堂围墙隔离的绿地空间。设计将围墙后退，以“爱”为主题，布置长满各种植物的盒子，寓意“爱如氧气”，提供休憩、体验的场所。另一侧教堂围墙改造为可滑动式围墙，平日可作为围墙分隔，周末可开放作为集市顶棚，将绿地空间共享。
On one side of the street is rigid wall and narrow sidewalk, on the other side is the church’s wall, separating green space and sidewalk. The design first sets the wall backward and reserve space for boxes full of live plants, with the theme “love”. Plants can creates oxygen which imply to “love is like oxygen”. These are boxes for people to experience and communication. The other wall is designed to be a slidable wall. On weekdays, it separates the church and street. On weekends, it will become market canopies. Green space then will be shared.
城市设计没有绝对性，我们所思考和尝试的是街道城市更新的一种可能，一种更有趣的可能。
There is no certain answer for urban design. What we are trying to do is to provide a possible solution, maybe a more interesting solution, for urban street regeneration.
