6个月，5场活动，100+人次共同参与，迈丘设计以儿童+设计师模式，基于低成本、低运营、共建共享的策略，完成了一个校园中的“可食花园”设计建造。花园共建的历程是短暂的，但是通过共建的过程，激发孩子们对校园的认同感和成就感，在心里种下美和爱的种子，这份心灵的触动是长久的。这就是迈丘设计参与社区共建最大的意义。

In 6 months, 5 events and 100+ participants, metrostudio has completed the design and construction of an Edible Garden on campus based on a low cost, low operation and shared strategy using the Kids + Designers model. Through the process of building together, we hope to inspire children to identify with the campus and the sense of achievement of their work, touching the heart with beautiful feelings, which is the greatest meaning of our participation in community building.

项目概况About Project

本项目为metrostudio迈丘设计参与由南山区城市管理与综合执法局主办的深圳市“共建×设计”小美赛的社区花园实践。迈丘设计牵手深圳市南山区太子湾学校，与深圳市绿色基金会、大自然保护协会、蛇口社区基金会联合承办。这是一个开放式的设计建造项目，通过多方参与，设计统筹，完成了校园荒废绿地的改造。

This project is a result of metrostudio's participation in the Shenzhen "Small & Smart Design" competition organised by the Urban Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau of Nanshan Distinct. We worked with Taiziwan School, Shenzhen Green Found Association, The Nature Conservancy and Shekou Community Foundation. This was an open design-build project, which involved the transformation of the school's derelict space through the participation of multiple parties and design coordination.

▲花园区位 Location

项目场地位于太子湾学校小学部的教学楼西侧与学校围墙之间，廊架把狭长的空间分成两个细小地块。计划改造面积约200平米。这里是整个校园绿化淘汰植物的收纳场，经过长年累月的生长，植物密闭，甚至把旁边教学楼首层采光窗户都挡得严实。中下层外来入侵品种占强势主导，挤满绿化场地。虽紧邻教学楼，却无法让人亲近，逐渐成为一个充满各类杂物的荒地，蚊虫滋生，本底生境条件很差。

The project site is located between the west side of the school building and the fence, a long and narrow space divided into two plots by the gallery. The planned renovation area is approximately 200 square meters. This is a disposal site for green out plants throughout the campus, which have grown densely over the years, even blocking the light-glass on the first floor of the classroom. The lower and middle floors are strongly dominated by invasive exotic species that crowd the green space. Although adjacent to the academic building, it is not approachable and is gradually becoming a wasteland full of all kinds of debris and in poor native habitat conditions.

学校期望能够把这里建设成为一个让学生参与进去的生态农园。南山区城管希望能够通过改造，让这些被遗弃的城市、社区边角空间得到充分的利用；孩子们希望有更多的游憩空间。而改善生态环境，让花园变得更有趣，则是设计的思考。多方的共同参与，最终我们将花园改造主题定为“可食花园”。在有限的空间里，保留乡土树种，去除外侵物种，引入丰富的花境品种，结合可食蔬果种植，通过转运箱搭建出丰富的立体绿化空间，让这片荒废的小空间成为一个共同搭建、培育、分享、可持续的“可食花园”。

Through the preliminary research we learned that: the school representatives expect to build an Eco-Farm for students, the organizers hope to make full use of these abandoned urban and community marginal spaces through renovation, and the children want more play space. Our design thinking is therefore geared towards improving the ecology and making the garden more interesting. After much discussion, the theme of the project was "Edible Garden". We have preserved native tree species, removed invasive species, introduced a rich variety of flower borders, planted edible fruits and vegetables in a limited space, and built a three-dimensional green space through transit boxes to make this small, deserted space a co-constructed, nurtured, shared and sustainable garden.

设计策略Design Strategy

一、 1+1+1模式 共建共享 1+1+1 Model & Co-Build

我们认为，社区共建花园设计，改善的不仅仅是花园的环境，更重要的是改善心灵的环境。就像是一个纽带，将人们联结在一起，通过共同的创造性劳动，让彼此学会互相协助，互相欣赏，互相鼓励，共同成长。

We believe that community garden improves not just the environment, but more importantly people’s mind. It is like a bond that connects people together and allows them to learn to assist each other and grow together through joint creative work.

针对太子湾学校花园改造，迈丘设计提出1+1+1 模式，共建共享，组织“迈丘设计团队+学生建构营+自然引导营”，将儿童自然教育融入设计建造活动之中。

In this project, we propose a 1+1+1 model, organizing a “design team + student construction team + nature display team” to build and share together, incorporating children's nature education into the design and construction activities.

▲模式分析 Pattern analysis

1 个设计团队：负责设计统筹，完成概念设计、种植品种选择、组织建构活动。

1 个学生建构营：由学校组建4-6组学生团队，年龄10岁以上，参与创意设计，由迈丘设计团队负责讲解，点评、指导现场落地建造。

1 个自然引导营：花园建成后，由学校组建自然引导营，在改造成果全部呈现后，由迈丘设计团队提供植物科普课堂。自然引导营的成员将成为未来太子湾学校花园的小导游，为参观的人们提供科普讲解。而这将成为太子湾校园共建花园设计的可持续性自然教育理念。

1 Design Team: responsible for conceptual design, selection of planting varieties and organization of construction activities.

1 Student Construction Team: Team of 4-6 groups of students aged 10+ try to design the ideal garden and put their hands to work under the guidance of our designers.

1 Nature Display Team: Our design team provided plant science classes, while the school formed a nature display group. The students involved in the construction of the garden will become little guides and provide science presentations to people. And this will become the sustainable nature education concept for this project.

▲自然引导营示意图

“可食花园”设计充分考虑了未来自然引导营的组建和运作需求，整体景观在现有场地条件的基础上，以转运箱搭建多层次组合空间，在狭小的空间里划分出不同的植物群落，为学生提供多样化的自然认知与实践空间。

The design of the "Edible Garden" takes into account the needs of the future nature showcase camp and its operation. The overall landscape respects the original site conditions and uses transit boxes to build a multi-layered combination of spaces, dividing different plant communities in a small space and providing students with a diverse space for nature awareness and practice.

二、可食花园 生境营造 Edible Garden & Habitat Design

▲平面设计图 master plan

“生境”+“群落”是自然生态系统的基本组成单位，在城市环境下，小尺度花园互相联系所构成的绿色空间网络对城市生物多样性发挥重要保护作用。设计秉持“生境营造”理念，通过景观设计优化生境条件，通过共同搭建创造出与本地生境相适应、兼具功能性、美观度和低维护成本的植物群落景观。

“Habitat” + “community” are the basic components of natural ecosystems. In an urban environment, the network of interconnected green spaces formed by small-scale gardens plays an important role in the conservation of urban biodiversity. The design is based on the concept of Habitat Design, optimizing habitat conditions through landscape design and creating a functional, aesthetically pleasing and low-maintenance plant community landscape that is compatible with the local habitat through joint construction.

改造保留场地中的原生乔木，为鸟类及其他动物提供栖息地；对原有灌木及杂草进行清理、覆土、增植，打造错落的自然花境和人工庇护所，满足不同类型的昆虫和小型哺乳动物栖息。设计将自然花园与可食农园结合：在中层，利用果蔬篮作为搭建的基本材料堆叠成立体的种植空间；在底层，借助果蔬篮通透的箱架，为地面的植物生长支撑出空隙，提供生长支持，形成自然野性的本土生境。

The transformation preserves the native trees to provide a habitat for birds; the original shrubs and weeds are cleared, mulched and replanted to create a natural environment and artificial shelter for different types of insects and small mammals. We use fruit baskets as materials to stack three-dimensional planting space; on the bottom layer, with the help of the permeable box frame of the baskets, we support gaps for plant growth on the ground, forming a natural and wild native habitat.

三、创意果蔬篮 低值可回收 Creative Baskets & Low-value Recyclable

300个490mm*350mm*260mm的转运箱，成为花园的单元构件，如同乐高积木，组合搭建出立体的植物种植盒子。鲜明的色彩，简易灵活的搭建过程，未来便捷的重组可能，满足孩子们对花园的各种想象。

300 fruit baskets of 490mm*350mm*260mm become the unit building blocks of the garden, just like Lego, combined to build a three-dimensional plant cultivation space. The bright colors, easy and flexible building process, and convenient reorganization possibilities meet children's various imaginations of the garden.

选用的转运果蔬篮是可回收的材料，具备造价低、自重轻、承重大、经久耐用、安全环保等特点，极大程度地降低了建造垃圾的产生，可循环使用。箱体开放式的格栅空隙打破了结构的密闭感，让空气、阳光、风与水等元素直接与土壤层接触，为底层阴生本土植物生长提供条件。

Fruit baskets are recyclable materials with features such as low cost, light self-weight, high load-bearing capacity, durability, safety and environmental protection, which greatly reduce the generation of construction waste and can be recycled. The gridded void of the basket breaks the sense of confinement of the structure, allowing the elements of air, sunlight, wind and water to come into direct contact with the soil layer, providing conditions for the growth of shady native plants on the bottom layer.

▲ 可回收的果蔬篮 Recyclable fruit baskets

我们以模块化的解决方案，将标准箱体化为预制模块单元，通过堆叠、嵌套、组合等调整立体展现架构的形式、尺度和韵律，重新定义和丰富开放这一公共空间。灵活的模块化系统也为实现精细化、可复制性和快速施工提供可能。

With a modular solution, we redefine and enrich openness as a public space by transforming baskets into prefabricated modular units that show the form, scale and rhythm of the architecture through stacking, nesting and combination adjustments. The flexible modular system also offers the possibility to achieve refinement, replicability and rapid construction.

设计致力于在这小片珍贵的绿地当中保留自然的野性，为学生们提供一个亲自然校园，实现城市有序景观与自然野性景观的并存。

The design is dedicated to preserving the natural wildness in this small precious land, providing a pro-nature campus environment for students, and realizing the coexistence of urban orderly landscape and natural wild landscape.

▲花园建成实景

▲自然清新的生境花园

廊架北侧由于植物密度过大导致光照条件较差，因此改造将北侧植物进行适当删减，让阳光有机会进入场地，成为一个可以停留的空间。

The north side of the corridor has poor light conditions due to the excessive density of plants, so we cut down the plants appropriately to give the sunlight a chance to enter the site and become a space where can stay.

花园南侧乔木多为棕榈科植物，在场地中生存已久，是场地记忆的重要组成成分。改造保留这些植物，在清理杂乱的植被后，以水果篮组合搭建生境花草箱和育苗观察箱，这里将成为充满活力的自然课堂。

The trees on the south side of the garden are mostly palms, which have survived for a long time and are an important component of the site memory. The renovation retains these plants, and after clearing the cluttered vegetation and building plant boxes and seedling observation boxes with a combination of fruit baskets, the area will become a vibrant nature classroom.

透水的土工布搭配格栅空隙的水果篮为植物生长提供良好条件，同时降低养护成本。模块型垂直绿化为种植区带来了竖向设置的选择，节省场地，也为孩子提供方便的操作观察空间。花园中设置植物堆肥箱以处理绿色垃圾并且将垃圾转化为有机肥料，从而减少对化学肥料的使用。

The permeable geotextile with permeable fruit baskets provides good conditions for plant growth while reducing maintenance costs. Modular vertical greening brings the option of vertical setup for planting areas, saving space and providing children with convenient space to operate and observe. Plant compost bins are installed in the garden to dispose of green waste and convert it into organic fertilizer, thus reducing the use of chemical fertilizers.

植物设计Plant Design

叶趣横生，叠梦纷呈

▲ 植物设计草图推敲 Plant design sketch

▲ 植物设计平面图

植物设计方案以“叶趣横生，叠梦纷呈”为主题，通过不同植物叶族质感、形态、色彩的差异，组合营造极富叶趣、探索欲的互动融合空间。植物的选择和种植在美学、生态等规律的基础上，同时要有丰富的季相变化，开合的空间转化，宜人的林下居所。结合居住属性与功能需求，通过不同植物的组合和灵活多变，赋予更多的景观可能性，打造生态、有趣的植物意境。

The plant design plan takes "Stacking Dreams, Fun Garden" as the theme, and creates a colorful plant world and an interactive space to stimulate exploration through the differences in texture, form and color of plants. The selection and planting of plants are based on the laws of aesthetics and ecology, taking into account seasonal changes and spatial transitions. Combining living properties and functional needs, the plant design gives more possibilities to the landscape and creates an ecological and interesting plant mood.

我们配合本底植物环境优化生境：选用芳香类植物如迷迭香、碰碰香、薄荷、九里香、紫苏、含笑等营造兼具寓教、科普、娱乐等多重功能的植物景观，同时通过选用本地品种，及一些花卉类品种如桔梗、鸟巢蕨，龙船花等，打造微型生境景观，从此便有了蝴蝶的栖息地、鸟儿的归巢、昆虫的游乐场。

We cooperate with the local plant environment to optimize the habitat: the choice of aromatic plants such as rosemary, mint, murraya exotica, perilla, michelia figo, etc. to create both education, science, entertainment and other multi-functional plant landscape, while by using local species, and some flower species such as balloon flower, asplenium nidus, Ixora chinensis Lam., etc., to create a miniature habitat landscape, from then on there will be a habitat for butterflies, birds' nest, insects' playground.

设计以单体花箱为造梦载体，自由的组合、叠加，引导学生进行微型花园（点缀花卉）的营造，将各具特色的微型花园置入自然基底的大花园，通过观察、陪伴植物的生长，制造人与场地的链接与互动，营造异彩纷呈的花园景观。

The design takes single flower boxes as the carrier, freely combining and stacking them, guiding students to create miniature gardens, placing them into a large garden with a natural base, creating links and interactions between people and the site by observing and accompanying the growth of plants, and creating a colorful garden landscape.
