Power Picket Austin, TX, USA

奥斯汀市向西扩张并重新调整城市电网的工业用地，用于民用、商业和住宅项目。新的主要公共图书馆，城市自行车道和几个混合用途开发地点将围绕仍在运作的西霍尔姆变电站。从概念上来说，该项目协调并突出了几个领域，隔离墙超越了功能，提供了无法简化为单一现象的体验，同时解决了城市环境、规模、计划、门槛、边缘和体验的动态变化带来的问题。各种各样的材料，建筑类型，照明和多孔性可以与变电站相邻的特定环境进行互动，同时允许在变电站中隐藏视野，认可为城市供电所需的基础设施。

The City of Austin is expanding westward and repurposing industrial sites of the city grid for civic,business, and residential programs. The new primary public library, an urban bikeway, and several mixed-use development sites will surround the still functioning Seaholm Electrical Substatio.Conceptually,the wall project negotiates and accentuates several realms. The wall transcends the functional,offering experiences that cannot be reduced to a single phenomenon while addressing the changing dynamics of the urban context, its scale, programs, thresholds, edges, and experiences.Varied materials, construction types, lighting, and porosity engage the specif i c contexts abutting the substation while allowing veiled views into the substation, acknowledging the infrastructure that is required to power the city.
