Casanova | Placemaking案例:The Placebook - Battersea Power Station

地产与远方 地产与远方 2023-11-04

昨天的Placemaking话题意外获得很多共鸣,产生很多讨论。这样一个对行业将有长远意义的话题,我想我们值得展开更多。


今天作为这个主题的第二篇,我想分享一个让我印象深刻的案例:伦敦的巴特西电厂项目Battersea Power Station多年前在项目伊始就出过一本阐述自己Placemaking策略的The Placebook。可以理解为一种形式的Brand Book,但又不止Brand Book。里面围绕着Placemaking的理念详细阐述了整个项目的思考、定位、策略,不考虑项目实际的运营状况,但光这本册子(230页)就足以令人惊艳。


这本册子的简单介绍和下载网址如下:

Battersea Placebook, https://www.jtp.co.uk/cms/pdfs/The-Placebook_Battersea-Power-Station.pdf


页数太多无从详细展开。只能在此带大家略观一二,谈谈我觉得有意义的点。具体的真的强烈建议大家下载详读。堪称是项目定位、策划的范本。

封面。话痨说一下,整本册子有一个思路不同寻常。明明是内部用途,哪家公司做内部定位报告会做得如此美轮美奂,而且找了大量艺术家画插画(这封面就是),然后还公开出版?这本书Amazon上是有纸质版售卖的。这种思路就已经先胜一招,格局之大令人乍舌。


整个目录部分堪称是项目定位方法论的经典模板。排列很有意思,并不是按照章节先后顺序的。前面八项感觉是比较传统的理性范畴。而后面八个则进入了感性范畴,比如Manifesto。一个项目能有自己的项目宣言,你敢信?牛逼啊,想起之前那篇写过“Casanova | 致敬WeWork,致敬梦想”,项目有梦想,已经成功了一半吧?还有很多形而上学的比如Placemaking/Evolving/Connecting等等,时髦到炸。而这本册子的面世时间是2014年!你受得了么?


这个截图中提到了写这本册子的第一部分,理解项目,而这个理解的过程又被拆分成了几个部分,探索土地用途、理解当前内容、定义当代潮流、推断未来趋势。这是这本册子一个很有意思的特点,也是推荐大家详读的原因。这本册子并非只是关于这个项目本身。而是意外地把整个产品逻辑、行业方法论都写得异常详细。这虽然不是一本行业的专业著作,但是里面的内容怕是胜过很多业内水货大师的文章和讲座。



Manifesto这部分我觉得是高屋建瓴的部分。项目的宣言。其实也就是核心定位。项目拿下来一年,先不干项目,先把项目想清楚,而且提出高屋建瓴的指导思想。OMG,really old school!这是多么久违的专业精神。大概也是在国内无法再现的场景。


册子中精心地用了多幅插画来表达这些核心理念。篇幅较长,但是觉得不得不放。希望与大家一起体会这种做项目之前先发表爱情宣言的感觉。

NO DEFAULT
Battersea Power Station is unique. As the centrepiece of the Nine Elms masterplan, it will create its own value landscape. To achieve this, we must adopt an innovative, integrated and highly collaborative mindset and then do everything possible to avoid the obvious.

BIG ADVENTURE
The Power Station is intriguing. It makes people want to come and experience it for themselves. We must build anticipation, exceed expectations, contradict the naysayers and let people be part of the
adventure from the outset: they’re our best advocates.
Let’s not disappoint them.

AN UNFOLDING STORY
Battersea Power Station will take 20 years to create and must make sense as a place every step of the way.
To evolve from a pioneer community to a mature city quarter needs careful curatorship, giving each stage its own magnetism.

SYMBOLIC ACTION
The reputation of Battersea Power Station is based on the principle
that actions speak louder than words.
To foster a profound sense of belief in the place brand, we must take symbolic actions that are generous, truthful, and unmissable.

SHOWSTOPPER
As a destination, Battersea Power Station must offer a guaranteed good time.
It’s not the West End, it’s the new Best End. People will come because there is a myriad of new, different, and interesting things to experience all year round.

LIVEABLE & LOVEABLE
Battersea Power Station will be a real place for real people to live, work and play, not another dormitory development on London’s riverfront.
To be considered ‘home’ we must make a neighborhood where there are unparalleled opportunities for people to live life to the full and fulfill their lifetime ambitions.

INDUSTRIAL MAGIC
Battersea Power Station is London’s quintessential industrial landmark,
built to last on a heroic scale.
Its rawness and atmosphere are its authenticity and must drive aesthetic decisions throughout the design process, inside and out, from the word go.
Lose this and you lose The Power Station.

CULTURE, CULTURE, CULTURE
By 2020, the name Battersea Power Station will be synonymous with culture, innovation and creativity the world over.
To make this happen, contemporary culture and cutting-edge creatives must be accommodated at every turn and lie at the heart of every single development decision.
It’s in its DNA.

THE GOOD LIFE
At Battersea Power Station, sustainability is a given. It must embrace all that is positive about low energy city living.
Our job is to make it easy for people to change their habits and live more sustainably without compromising their quality of life.

MASSIVE ICON, INTIMATE PLACE
Battersea Power Station must come across as both a massive icon and
an intimate place.
The contrast between the two will define its special character and make it memorable.
At one moment monumental and awe-inspiring, at the other browsable and fine grain.



提这些宣言,其实是在给整个项目定基调。这个项目因为本身的超大体量,开发将持续20年。其实你很容易理解,20年间会有大量的不确定因素,而最容易确定的其实是团队一定会发生变化。而如何把项目从头开始定调,这些Manifesto无疑是很好的案例。在不间断的短期变化中寻找长期逻辑,或许是这个操作对我最大的触动。联想到上海近期同样的大型开发项目,金陵路、徐汇滨江等等,或许都需要借鉴这样的长期思维。

这些单词中涉及的文化、生活、体验等等,同时又都是Placemaking理念的体现。读完整本,你还会在不同的章节里发现这些宣言的点滴。证明这些单词并非泛泛而谈,而确实是某种践行的存在。


后面的一些章节涉及到不少比较具体的技术性分析,也颇有意思。比如如下这个关于场景分布的规划。比我们身边很多项目想得深刻很多,值得借鉴。

关于消费习惯的部分详细罗列了伦敦主要市场的形态。

同时还写了,露天市场形式会遇到的挑战。这点上海如火如荼做夜市的同行们想过么?(Casanova | 夜市思考整理



对于办公的定位。也很清晰。提到了Productivity (我写过Casanova | 办公空间的本质是什么?


居住的分析逻辑很有意思。类比自然界的物种分布和多样性提出了社区理念。下面的节选仅是开头,再次推荐可以下载详读。

学习型社区

交通的表达方式也冠以了“Strategic thinking”

Branding的部分深入浅出,围绕电厂的标志性烟囱做文章。


贴图到此为止。看完整本,其实会有疑惑。这本Placebook,通篇提到Placemaking字眼的次数有限,更像是一本做得非常用心又有深度的项目前期定位报告。我贴的截图无法反映出内容的丰富和详实。文中有章节自问自答,Placebook是什么?同样可以回答Placemaking是什么。是关于项目所有的事情,是可以给到规划、设计、运营、管理启发的独特概念。


An overarching Placemaking strategy across all phases. 向Battersea致敬。期待可以在上海最近出让的大项目中看到类似的实践。
