奧斯汀市向西擴(kuò)張并重新調(diào)整城市電網(wǎng)的工業(yè)用地，用于民用、商業(yè)和住宅項(xiàng)目。新的主要公共圖書館，城市自行車道和幾個(gè)混合用途開發(fā)地點(diǎn)將圍繞仍在運(yùn)作的西霍爾姆變電站。從概念上來說，該項(xiàng)目協(xié)調(diào)并突出了幾個(gè)領(lǐng)域，隔離墻超越了功能，提供了無法簡化為單一現(xiàn)象的體驗(yàn)，同時(shí)解決了城市環(huán)境、規(guī)模、計(jì)劃、門檻、邊緣和體驗(yàn)的動(dòng)態(tài)變化帶來的問題。各種各樣的材料，建筑類型，照明和多孔性可以與變電站相鄰的特定環(huán)境進(jìn)行互動(dòng)，同時(shí)允許在變電站中隱藏視野，認(rèn)可為城市供電所需的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)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.
