Arkadia 社区公寓

项目Arkadia是由Breathe建筑事务所、DKO建筑事务所和Oculus合作完成的。项目的核心是生态可持续性和社会可持续性。它是关于记忆和地方的。Arkadia是国内第一座使用近50万块回收砖建造的建筑，几乎是完全碳中和的表皮。项目使用回收材料和被动式太阳能设计技术，成为低碳的标志性建筑。

Arkadia is a collaboration from Breathe Architecture, DKO Architecture and Oculus. At its heart Arkadia is about ecological sustainability and social sustainability. It’s about memory and place. Arkadia is the first building in the country to be built with nearly half a million recycled bricks, an almost entirely carbon-neutral skin. Arkadia uses recycled materials and passive solar-design technologies to stand as a beacon to a low carbon future.

为了加强社区建设，Arkadia被分成4个建筑，4个核心，4个大小合适、相互连接的社区。这4个社区由一个由精心制作的回收砖块形成的蜿蜒表皮编织在一起。每栋楼都有自己的空间，有自己的生产花园，有自己的电梯厅，有自己的地址，有自己的社区。

To strengthen community Arkadia is broken into 4 buildings, 4 cores, 4 right-sized, connected communities. The 4 communities are woven together by a single sinuous skin formed from carefully crafted recycled brickwork. Each building has its own space to come together, its own productive garden, its own lift lobby, its own address and its own community. Defence Housing Australia (DHA) has been providing quality homes for Defence families for over 30 years.

澳大利亚国防住房局（DHA）为国防家庭提供优质住宅已有30多年的历史。DHA希望Arkadia能在多住宅建筑中树立一个新的标杆。他们希望住房能优先考虑环境和社会的可持续性。我们面临的挑战是设计152个家，其中85个是为国防人员及其家属设计的，67个是为新居民设计的。为了实现这一目标，我们想知道亚历山大的居民喜欢他们郊区的什么，以及他们希望在未来看到什么。通过居民访谈，我们听到了现有社区的希望和担忧。他们希望在物理上和声学上保护南面的繁忙交通，并在北面有更多的开放空间。Arkadia形成了一道保护墙，保护悉尼公园路和南边繁忙的WestConnex Interconnector，并邀请社区分享它的北面--一个阳光下的公园，免受噪音和风的影响。

DHA wanted Arkadia to set a new benchmark in multi-residential buildings. They wanted housing that prioritised environmental and social sustainability. The challenge was to design 152 places to call home, 85 homes for defence personnel and their families and 67 for new residents. To achieve this, we wanted to know what the residents of Alexandria loved about their suburb and what they wanted to see in the future. Through resident interviews, we heard the hopes and worries of the existing community. They wanted protection physically and acoustically from the busy traffic to the south, and more open space to the north. Arkadia forms a protective wall to Sydney Park Road and the busy WestConnex Interconnector to the south and invites the community to share its Northern face – a sunlit park protected from the noise and the wind.

整个底层规划被激活，并与周围的街道互动。底层被抬高1.2米，以提供人们的入口，他们的平台，他们的生活空间和下面的街道之间的视觉连接。这也为邻居提供了台阶和凳子，并为偶然的会面提供了座位。底层的居民既是门卫又是礼宾。Arkadia并不是一个错位的居民群体，而是为偶然相遇和邻里联系创造了机会。

The entire ground floor plan is activated and engages with the surrounding streets. The ground floor levels are lifted 1.2m to provide a visual connection between people's entries, their decks, their living spaces and the streets below. This also provides steps and stoops for neighbours, and seating for chance meetings. The ground floor residents act as both gate-keepers and concierge. Rather than a dislocated body of residents, Arkadia creates the opportunity for chance encounters and neighbourly connection.

项目采用了两个关键策略来实现卓越的可持续发展成果。首先是在施工过程中减少碳排放和能源消耗；由于50万块回收砖是在现场精心组装的，因此建筑围护结构本身几乎是碳中性的。

Two key strategies were employed to deliver exceptional sustainability outcomes of Arkadia. The first is a reduction of carbon and embodied energy during construction; the building envelope itself is almost carbon neutral given its half a million recycled bricks were lovingly reassembled on site.

其次是在建筑运行过程中减少碳排放。通过在隔热性能良好的建筑结构中设置大小合适的窗洞，以及使用深砖外墙和钢制罩子来遮挡夏季的阳光，但允许冬季的阳光穿透，从而降低了供暖和制冷负荷。建筑物的植被设计为屋顶降温，限制了城市热岛效应，使城市迅速变暖。同时，植被还可以生长并占据建筑外墙，柔化建筑外观，进一步提高建筑的隔热性能。阿卡迪亚的建造是为了经久耐用，就像大自然慢慢开垦出来的废墟。重要的是，项目没有天然气管道。

The second is carbon reduction in the building's operations. Heating and cooling loads are reduced through right-sized window openings in the well-insulated building fabric, and through use of the deep brick facade and steel, hoods to shade windows from the summer sun, but allow winter sun penetration. The buildings vegetation has been designed to cool the roof and limit the urban heat island effect in a rapidly warming city. It also serves to grow and occupy the facade, softening its appearance and further improving its thermal performance. Arkadia was built to last, resembling a ruin that nature has slowly reclaimed. Importantly, there is no gas plumbed into Arkadia.

为了向该地的历史致敬，回收的砖块外墙作为一种希望的象征，象征着社区、可持续性和联系。Arkadia主要由100年历史的材料建造而成，而且它的寿命还能再延长几百年。我们感谢Eora民族的Gadigal人，他们是Arkadia所在土地的传统监护人。我们承认他们与土地、水和文化的持续联系。

Paying homage to the history of the site, the recycled brick facade talks to the future as a symbol of hope that values community, sustainability and connection. Arkadia is largely constructed of materials that are 100 years old and it has been built to last hundreds more. We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land upon which Arkadia stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
