架构师提供的文本描述。2008年，纽约设计委员会颁发了形式、功能和可持续实践的卓越设计奖，布鲁克林植物园的新游客中心在城市和花园之间建立了一个有远见的公共界面。景观的中心特征是建筑的活屋顶设计，这是花园的无缝、适宜居住的延伸，融合了景观和建筑，并重新定义了游客与花园、展览和运动、文化和栽培之间的物理和哲学关系。

Text description provided by the architects. Honored by the NYC Design Commission with an Award for Excellence in Design in 2008 for integration of form, function and sustain- able practice, the new visitor center to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden establishes a visionary public interface between the city and the garden. The landscape’s central feature is the building’s living roof design, conceived as a seamless, inhabitable extension of the Garden that mergers landscape and architecture and redefines physical and philosophical relationships between visitor and garden, exhibition and movement, culture and cultivation.

将现代场地工程技术与可持续景观和园艺设计融为一体，游客中心景观设计标志着该花园成立100周年，并通过为其今后100年的公共服务和教育提供一种新的教学模式，为其提供高性能的景观设计和新的植物学展览，展示了该机构对环境管理和保护的承诺。

Fusing contemporary site engineering technology with sustainable landscape and horticultural design, the Visitor Center landscape design marks the Garden’s centennial and demonstrates the institution’s commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation by providing a new pedagogical paradigm with this high performance landscape design and new botanical exhibit for its next 100 years of public service and education.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

雨水收集网络的特点是一个广泛的绿色屋顶，雨水渠道，植被的凹坑和生物渗透盆地。综合起来，这些要素在现场保留了雨水，以便于自然过滤和地下水补给，并将其排放到市政下水道。

A network of storm water collection features an extensive green roof, storm water channel, vegetated swales and bio-infiltration basins. Collectively, these elements retain storm water on site to facilitate natural filtration and ground water recharge and discharge to the municipal sewer.

SOIL RECLAMATION

历史上被污染的土壤需要采取补救措施。设计了不同的土壤剖面，以重建现有土壤和恢复可行的土壤生物学，以支持每一种不同的园艺条件。生物入渗盆地松散的深层土壤吸收水分，过滤污染物，扩大雨水捕获量。广场上的结构性土壤提供了连续的膨胀土体积，以支持铺面地区的无限树根生长。

Contaminated soils in the historic fill demanded remedial action. Distinct soil profiles were designed to reconstruct existing soils and restore viable soil biology to support each diverse horticultural conditions. The bio-infiltration basin's loose deep soils absorb water and filter pollutants and expand the volume of storm water capture. Structural soils in plazas provide contiguous expansive soil volumes to sustain limitless tree root growth under paved areas.

园艺展览

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT

种植设计展示了植物种类和类型的特定组合如何能够再生高性能的生态系统。在当地植物群落的启发下，植物学收藏被组织成大胆的漂流，从高地到低地类型，将游客中心的景观编织成现存的景观，并为未来的花园扩展建立一个弹性的设计结构。

The planting design demonstrates how a specific mix of plant species and types can regenerate high performing ecologies. Informed by native plant communities, botanic collections are organized in bold drifts, from upland to lowland typologies that knit the Visitor Center landscape into the exist- ing and establish a resilient design structure for future garden expansion.
