宪法公园位于昆山市中心的文化中轴上，是串联市政府、城市广场、科学博物馆、少年宫和城市公园的重要节点，彰显宪法精神与城市形象的场所。宪法公园的设计采用叙事的空间结构，通过连续的线形轴，将人大之家，宪法大道、人民之路、宪法之家、宪法长廊及宣誓广场串联起来，现代简约的设计表达，保持了中轴线空间的纯净，整体一气呵成。我们不希望将宪法公园打造成展示宪法的博物馆，而是用连续变换的空间景致一步步呈现了宪法公园普法、教育、纪念、互动、休憩、宣誓的功能，同时达到实现现代都市的艺术效果。

Constitution Park is located in the cultural centre of downtown Kunshan, home to the metropolitan government buildings and plaza as well as the science museum and city park. The park is designed to offer a spatial experience of the history and spirit of the Chinese constitution and its relevance to Kunshan and its citizens. Our task was to retrofit an existing park to take on new cultural and imaginative significance in the city. Core elements of the park reflect the role of the constitution in the lives of the citizens. Since constitutions are dynamic and live, the design of Constitution Park adopts a sequence of narrative spaces, elucidating the history, the present and the ceremonial process that binds officials to their duties. We did not want the park to be a museum: to simply offer artefacts of the constitution. Instead, we wanted it to offer spaces for reflection and embody the temporal process of history and law. The final product is energetic, interactive and distinct.

宪法公园的中心是一处寓意着法平如水的冥想庭院，石板浮现在镜面水景上，用铝字雕刻着现行宪法今时今日的成果。生机勃勃的常青树屹立水中，它的枝桠与树叶象征着了不同的部门法和具体的法律文本，树叶飘落在石板上，象征着法律以宪法为基础和依据。

At the heart of Constitution Park is the meditation courtyard, which contains the current text of the constitution written on a mirror that is submerged in a water feature, which serves to integrate the image of those reading the constitution with its contents. An evergreen tree grows from the water feature, its branches and leaves symbolizing the government and people who are rooted in the constitution.

宪法大道是连接人民与宪法的桥梁，宪法基石作为宪法故事的“开端”，具有仪式感的条状空间，引导到访者随着空间的递进进入迂回的历史长廊，展示了1954年至今宪法变迁的文化墙，象征立宪与修宪过程的曲折，让到访者进一步了解宪法的历史。宪法长廊是一个过渡空间，承前启后，线性水系象征着宪法的精神从宪法之家流向宣誓广场。

To reach this courtyard, one must journey across the Constitution Bridge or the “constitution cornerstone,” walking through a winding alley that represents the seven constitutional changes that have occurred since 1954. This alley symbolizes the dynamic nature and process of constitutional amendments and the history of text. A water channel extends from the meditation courtyard to the ceremonial glade, which symbolizes the spirit of the constitution moving between reflection and ritual. The ceremonial glade also provides an arena for ceremonies and where government officials can take their oaths.

阳光下，刻在构筑物顶部宪法语录映射在地面，文字的光影随着光线变化灵动有趣，涌泉的动态生动活泼，景致的一动一静之间，到访者可在此休憩思考、互动交流。

Fountains bring an active energy into the space and the design offers visitors spaces to relax, socialize or play. When the sun shines, inspirational phrases are projected onto the paving through the arches that flank the water channel. As the sun travels across the sky, the phrases move across the ground, reflecting the movement of time and thought.

宣誓广场围合成“圆形”场地，借鉴民主源头的古典希腊城邦的人民议事广场，是人民广场的文化源头，也是方圆的场地过渡组合。从历史到精神再到宣誓，与中国传统文化的内核相融，代表外圆内方、圆融与刚正的统一。

The ceremonial glade is sheltered from the world outside the park by a large mound and dense trees, which facilitates the solemn and reflective mood of the park. The design of the park, incorporating history, spirit and oath, reflects the “eternal circle” at the core of Chinese traditional culture, which represents unity, harmony and integrity. Concentric rings built into the mounds provide seating where family and friends can watch oaths being taken.

宣誓广场作为宪法公园主要的多功能空间。融合了集会、演讲、宣誓、娱乐、休憩等功能。地形巧妙的围合出一块圆形空间，结合两侧的草坡阶梯，在重要的活动中可以营造出庄严肃穆的氛围，在闲暇之时也为到访者提供灵活多样的开敞活动空间。

The Oath Plaza serves as the main multifunctional space of the park. The plaza offers an arena for events such as assemblies, speeches, oath-swearing ceremonies, or entertainment. Elevated terrain surrounds the circular space, which can serve to create a solemn atmosphere in important activities or a dynamic enclosed space for visitors to mingle.
