架构师提供的文本描述。位于汤斯维尔的詹姆斯库克大学(JamesCook University)的中心是新的维兰达步行街(VerandahWalk)，这是一条穿过地区校园的步行和骑自行车的通道。威尔逊建筑师已经完成了第一阶段的项目，维兰达步道南节点，连接教育中心和埃迪科伊基马博图书馆横跨瓦达莫利溪。

Text description provided by the architects. In the heart of James Cook University in Townsville, lies the new Verandah Walk – a pedestrian and cyclist link that weaves through the regional campus. Wilson Architects has completed stage one of the project, the Verandah Walk South Node, which connects Education Central and the Eddie Koiki Mabo Library across Waada Mooli Creek.

这个设计创造了一系列的“节点”会议和座位区域，鼓励学生在露天环境中学习、合作和社交。维兰达步道提高了学生的体验，并创造了一种质量感和持久性，这是以前在网站上缺乏的。

The design creates a series of ‘nodal’ meeting and seating areas that encourage students to study, collaborate and socialize in an open-air landscaped setting. The Verandah Walk enhances the student experience and creates a sense of quality and permanence, previously lacking on the site.

建筑师们面临的挑战是设计一条420米长的有盖人行道，它坐落在工地上，没有规模和长度庞大的游客。这条故意弯曲的人行道将注意力引向外部景观，而不是将用户的视线聚焦在一条长长的直线路径的“桶”上。弯曲的路径提供了所需的寻路线索，同时创造了一种“旅行”的体验，而不是“目的地”。

The architects’ challenge was to design a 420m long covered walkway that sits well on its site, without overwhelming visitors with its scale and length. The deliberately-curved walkway directs attention outwards to the landscape, rather than focusing the user's view 'down the barrel' of a long straight path. The curved path provides the required wayfinding cues while creating an experience of ‘journey’, instead of ‘destination’.

这个项目通过考虑光线、阴影、湿度、微风、气味、水/雨和颜色，包括并回应了该地区独特的热带叙事。白天和新鲜空气流通的增加有助于提高学生、教职员工和访客的注意力、认知功能和心理健康水平。抛光铝线部分的擦洗，并工程，以反映出来的风景，以过路人。

This project embraces and responds to the unique tropical narrative of the region, by considering light, shade, humidity, breeze, scent, water/rain, and color. Increased access to daylight and fresh air circulation supports improved levels of concentration, cognitive function and mental well-being for students, staff, and visitors. Polished aluminum lines sections of the soffit, and works to reflect the landscape back out to passers-by.

两个展馆从小路上延伸出来，作为连接的室外学习空间运作，整个过程中都有电源和Wi-Fi。附近的喷泉通过产生冷却效应和大气背景噪音，使人们从炎热的气候中得到更多的休息。

Two pavilions extend out from the path and operate as connected outdoor learning spaces, with power and Wi-Fi throughout. Nearby fountains provide further respite from the hot climate, by creating a cooling effect and atmospheric background noise.
