罗安达湾为安哥拉的首都带去了迷人的海岸景色，同时也是城市主要的基础板块之一。自古以来，它一直是城市最重要的公共空间和社交、经济活动的中心。随着时间的推移，海滨与市区联系得愈发紧密，同后来的街区和交通网络形成不可分割的关系。由于罗安达市区发展迅猛，新的海滨规划试图寻求找到一种方式，来保护城市的历史版图。它重塑了绵延的城市沿海界面，再现了一度消失的公共尺度。 The Bay of Luanda gave rise to the urban and architectural waterfront of the capital of Angola and is one of its main foundational patterns. Over time, it has been the most important public space of the city and the social and economic epicentre of the country. Through time, the waterfront attached the downtown neighbourhood and afterwards the major urban networks and expansion routes. Given the current and fast transformation of Luanda downtown, the new Waterfront seeks to protect the urban pattern legitimized by its history. It restructures a vast extension of the urban front and revitalizes its public dimension, which, in a way, had disappeared. ▽ 鸟瞰， 绵延的城市沿海界面；bird view，a vast extension of the waterfront 3500m长、占地510 000m2的新城市公园取代旧的海滨长廊为罗安达的公共生活提供支持，并将其活力辐射到周围其他公共空间中去。 With about 3 500m long and 510 000m2 of intervention surface on new landfills, the old promenade becomes a large urban park to support the vitality of Luanda public life. And, by capillarity, the new waterfront is supposed to contaminate the adjacent public spaces and, from these, the other ones through the city. ▽ 与城市公共空间连为一体，connecting to urban public spaces 设计在配备新的基础设施之外还增加了新的植被系统，一系列与城市公共空间相连的广场以及人行与自行车道，为市民集会、休闲、运动提供空间，为市政设备、设施提供场所。它的存在让更广泛的社会互动成为可能，并且促进了娱乐和文化活动的发展。 The intervention, apart new infrastructures, comprises a new green layer with trees, bushes and grass, a set of squares connected with the public space system of the city, and pedestrian and bike paths. It has places for civic meetings and places to rest, areas for sport activities, new urban services, equipment and furniture. It enables greater social interaction and boosts recreational and cultural activity. 罗安达海滨公园尺度巨大，它是赞扬市民生活和城市历史的纪念场所，是最具代表性、最富意义、最饱含魅力的所在。 In this context, the new Luanda Bay Waterfront has a monumental scope. It is a monument that celebrates the city in the most representative, meaningful and charismatic space of its collective life and history. ▽ 图纸，drawings
