Thammasat Urban Rooftop Farm / LANDPROCESS

大学屋顶的多功能农场设计
Design of a multifunctional farm on the roof of a university

Landprocess在泰国曼谷法政大学顶部创立了一个占地22000平方米的层叠屋顶农场，旨在模仿山区地形。这个项目将建筑和景观元素完美地结合在一起，建筑形式由H形平面发展而来，立面如同一座大山，上部布满大面积的花园绿地，是一个可持续的多用途基础设施。

Landprocess has created a stacked rooftop farm on top of the Law and Politics University in Bangkok, Thailand, covering an area of 22000 square meters, aimed at imitating mountainous terrain. This project perfectly combines elements of "architecture" and "landscape architecture". The architectural form evolved from the H-shaped plane, with a facade resembling a large mountain and a large area of garden green space on the upper part, making it a sustainable multi-purpose infrastructure.

最初，新校区建筑只是一座普通的建筑，然而屋顶农场的诞生却是设计师说服建筑和工程团队与她合作开发一个全新概念的结果。考虑到建筑前方正在开发一个大型公园，设计师提出了一个大胆的想法：为何不将屋顶绿地与地面公园连接起来呢？最终，设计团队和客户都认同了这一创意，因为他们一致相信这样做会产生更大的社会影响。

At first, the new campus building was just an ordinary building, but the birth of the rooftop farm was the result of designers convincing the architecture and engineering team to collaborate with her to develop a new concept. Considering that a large park is being developed in front of the building, the designer proposed a bold idea: why not connect the rooftop green space with the ground level park? In the end, both the design team and the client agreed with this idea because they unanimously believed that doing so would have a greater social impact.

如今城市化迅速消耗了农业用地，使耕地远离城市。到2050年，世界80%的人口将居住在城市。为了确保全球粮食安全和环境健康，城市必须利用浪费的空间及其径流来有效地生产粮食。景观设计师重新利用了废弃屋顶，并与亚洲最大的有机屋顶农场——Thammasat 城市屋顶农场 (TURF) 一起实施气候解决方案。

Nowadays, urbanization has rapidly consumed agricultural land, causing cultivated land to move away from cities. By 2050, 80% of the worlds population will reside in cities. To ensure global food security and environmental health, cities must utilize wasted space and its runoff to effectively produce food. Landscape designers have reused abandoned roofs and implemented climate solutions together with Thammasat Urban Roof Farm (TURF), the largest organic roof farm in Asia.

受当地独创性和传统农业实践的启发，法政大学城市农业绿色屋顶的层叠农场层形成了滞留草坪，可以减缓、吸收和储存雨水，同时用它来种植粮食。所有径流都会通过每一层土壤进行过滤，然后储存在四个蓄水池中，可收集高达11,718立方米的水，用于屋顶灌溉和未来的使用。

Inspired by local ingenuity and traditional agricultural practices, the stacked green roofs of urban agriculture at the University of Law and Political Science have formed retention lawns that can slow down, absorb, and store rainwater, while also being used for growing food. All runoff will be filtered through each layer of soil and stored in four reservoirs, capable of collecting up to 11718 cubic meters of water for roof irrigation and future use.

该项目解决的另一个问题是：帮助学生和社区成员重新了解他们的历史，并教育他们可持续的有机种植实践。一个世纪前屋顶农场的原址上是水稻种植园，随着曼谷的扩张，稻田被夷为平地，但通过这个项目，稻米生产以现代形式回归。通过志愿服务学习如何种植和收获，40,000名学生和附近居民了解了这一文化景观遗产。

Another issue addressed by this project is to help students and community members rediscover their history and educate them on sustainable organic farming practices. A century ago, the original site of the rooftop farm was a rice plantation. With the expansion of Bangkok, the rice fields were flattened, but through this project, rice production returned in modern form. Through volunteer service, 40000 students and nearby residents learned how to plant and harvest this cultural landscape heritage.

面对曼谷大量降雨的挑战，该屋顶农场采用了创新的设计。受到东南亚山区梯田农业的启发，它利用复杂的结构和重力将雨水从每一层层层倾泻而下。雨水沿着斜坡蜿蜒而下，每一层都会收集前一层的径流，帮助吸收、过滤和净化雨水。这种结构的减缓水流速度效率比传统屋顶高出20倍，所有的径流都会被建筑物脚下的四个蓄水池捕获，最多可容纳3,095,570加仑的水。

Faced with the challenge of heavy rainfall in Bangkok, the rooftop farm has adopted innovative design. Inspired by terraced agriculture in mountainous areas of Southeast Asia, it utilizes complex structures and gravity to pour rainwater down from each layer. Rainwater winds down the slope, and each layer collects the runoff from the previous layer to help absorb, filter, and purify rainwater. The efficiency of this structure in slowing down water flow is 20 times higher than traditional roofs, and all runoff is captured by four reservoirs at the foot of the building, which can hold up to 3095570 gallons of water.

为了解决当地缺乏健康有机食品的问题，设计团队创造了一个富有成效的屋顶景观。为了吸收所有这些径流水，Voraakhom公司引入了50种可食用物种，包括水稻、本土蔬菜和药草以及果树。屋顶每年可以种植20吨有机食品，足够校园食堂8万顿饭。食物残渣被堆肥并返回屋顶农场，形成可持续的食物循环。

To address the lack of healthy organic food in the local area, the design team created a productive rooftop landscape. In order to absorb all of this runoff, Voraakhom introduced 50 edible species, including rice, local vegetables and herbs, and fruit trees. The roof can grow 20 tons of organic food annually, which is enough for 80000 meals in the campus cafeteria. Food residues are composted and returned to rooftop farms, creating a sustainable food cycle.

屋顶景观还有助于解决使用火电发电节能的问题：安装在屋顶顶部的光伏板每小时可产生500,000瓦的电力。

The rooftop landscape also helps solve the problem of using fossil fuels for power generation. The photovoltaic panels installed on the roof can generate 500000 watts of electricity per hour.

设计将屋顶空间分为四个平等可及的部分，每个部分都代表民主的核心要素——人民、自由、平等和博爱。为了体现这种平等主义精神，在农田梯田内设置了12个社交空间，作为户外教室。

The design divides the rooftop space into four equally accessible parts, each representing the core elements of democracy - people, freedom, equality, and universal love. To reflect this spirit of egalitarianism, 12 social spaces have been set up in the terraced farmland as outdoor classrooms.

梯田最顶层有一个大型圆形剧场空间，可提供360度全景。回到地面的入口处，还有另一个可供活动的阶梯式圆形剧场，里面有大学两位创始人的真人大小的雕塑。

The top layer of the terraced fields has a large circular theater space that provides a 360 degree panoramic view. Returning to the entrance on the ground, there is another stepped circular theater for activities, inside which are life-size sculptures of the two founders of the university.

这种基础设施是我们在城市化世界应对气候变化、洪水、污染和缺乏优质新鲜农产品的过程中所需要的。最成功的形式采用集成设计方法，其中建筑师、景观设计师和工程师跨越学科界限，联合起来为人类和环境创造更好的项目。

This kind of infrastructure is necessary for us to address climate change, floods, pollution, and the lack of high-quality fresh agricultural products in an urbanizing world. The most successful form adopts an integrated design approach, where architects, landscape designers, and engineers cross disciplinary boundaries and work together to create better projects for humanity and the environment.

屋顶农场将现代景观建筑与水稻梯田的独创性相结合，为所有人创造了包容性循环经济、可持续粮食生产、可再生能源、水管理和公共空间。

The rooftop farm combines modern landscape architecture with the originality of rice terraces, creating an inclusive circular economy, sustainable food production, renewable energy, water management, and public space for all.
