Glendinning Rock Garden (former site of Spring Garden Water Works), Philadelphia, USA
费城格伦迪宁岩石花园（春园自来水厂旧址）
Year
2020
Within the view of schist cliff, woods and lawn, the Glendinning Rock Garden seems to be a typical copy of other picturesque gardens. This very site, however, actually holds a rich history underneath. The proposal attempts to reveal the lost scene of the place and reassembles a “deeper picturesque” in terms of both stratum and history.
格伦迪宁岩石花园看似平淡无奇，只能看到片岩崖壁、树林和草坪，好像是其他如画式花园的翻版。然而就在这个地点，其地下有着丰富的历史。提案试图揭示这个地方已经消失的风景，并重组地层意义和历史意义上“更深的”如画。
Mica schist, the iconic bedrock underlying the city of Philadelphia, is revealed in a sunken garden here, where visitors are enveloped by this common yet unfamiliar geologic material. Nearby, the extinguished water work is recognized again for its industrial monumentality.
费城标志性的基岩云母片岩在下沉式花园中显露出来，身处其中的游客会被这种常见但又陌生的地质材料所包围。附近，业已绝迹的自来水厂因其工业纪念碑性而再次受到体认。
These scenes are presented in a picturesque garden, which makes the proposed landscape something sutured back to its historical period. Thus, the ghosts of history and the present reappear.
这些场景被复现在一个风景如画的花园中，这使得拟建的景观与它的历史时期紧密相连。于是，历史与当下的鬼魅再次显现。
