架构师提供的文本描述。水标西码头一期工程是ACME设计的南安普敦市中心关键区域重大重建项目的第一部分。e新计划包括一个10幕的复式电影院、保龄球馆、24家餐馆和咖啡馆，以及一个新的公共广场和游乐场。沃特马克为Hammerson而建，坐落在他们的西码头购物中心附近，将开发方向引向大海。一个高耸的悬臂箱体被弯曲的银色管子包裹在新广场上，标志着这个城市作为一个活动中心的发展。

Text description provided by the architects. Phase 1 of Watermark WestQuay is the first part of a major redevelopment of a key area within Southampton’s town centre designed by ACME. e new scheme contains a 10-screen multiplex cinema, bowling alley, 24 restaurants and cafés, and a new public plaza and esplanade. Created for Hammerson, Watermark sits adjacent to their WestQuay Shopping Centre, drawing the development towards the sea. A soaring cantilevered box wrapped in a skin of curving silver tubes projects out over the new square, signalling the development from the city as a hub of activity.

西码头总体规划解决了南安普敦作为游轮和贸易的主要通道的历史作用。在二十世纪期间，海岸线与当地居民之间的距离越来越远，逐渐远离历史上标志着滨水区的中世纪城墙，部分原因是由于一系列港口设施和工业建筑，例如前倍耐力工厂。

The WestQuay masterplan addresses Southampton’s historic role as a main thoroughfare for cruise ships and trade. During the course of the twentieth century the shoreline has become distanced from the local population, moving progressively further away from the medieval town walls that historically marked the waterfront, due in part to a series of port facilities and industrial buildings, such as the former Pirelli factory.

第一和第二阶段的水标西码头已被设计作为重新连接城市与海洋的计划的第一步，包括南安普敦的古代海洋历史。e总规划的总体构想将确保新的发展跨越目前将该地点与市中心分开的水平变化，同时通过将该计划分为不同的南北项目来保持受保护的景观。

Phase 1 and 2 of Watermark WestQuay have been designed as the first steps in a plan to reconnect the city to the sea, embracing Southampton’s ancient maritime history. e overall vision of the masterplan will ensure that the new development bridges the level change that currently divides the site from the city centre, while maintaining protected views by splitting the scheme into distinct north and south projects.

大楼周围新建的公共领域每天24小时开放，确保该计划完全融入市中心的结构。

The areas of newly created public realm around the building are open 24 hours a day, ensuring that the scheme is fully integrated into the fabric of the city centre.

它的中心是一个新的公共广场，旁边是城墙和一套从下一条长廊向下的逐渐变小的台阶，创造了一个自然礼堂来举办一系列活动。坐落在广场上的餐厅层出不穷，这个灵活的空间将在整个夏季成为一个活跃的活动场所。

It centres around a new public plaza, flanked by the Town Walls and a set of tapering steps leading down from the lower promenade, creating a natural auditorium in which to host a range of events. Lined with restaurants that open up onto the square, this flexible space will become a scene of lively activity throughout the summer months.

水的特征提供了一个焦点，并将喷泉与镜子池结合在一起，镜子池的涨落就像潮汐在这个位置形成水域边缘时所做的那样，而综合照明则会在晚上和夜晚使空间生动活泼。在冬季，这个空间被设计用来举办一个溜冰场、圣诞市场和其他活动，以确保它全年都充满活力。

A water feature provides a focal point and combines fountain jets with a mirror pool which ebbs and flows much as the tides would have done when this location formed the waters edge, while integrated lighting animates the space during the evening and night. During the winter the space is designed to host an ice rink, Christmas markets and other activities to ensure it remains vibrant with activity year round.

从广场向南沿着城墙脚下是西部广场。这是一条步行路线的第一部分，当规划的未来阶段完成时，这条路线最终会一直延伸到滨水区。一片狭长的种植沼泽地创造了一些空间，让人们可以在五颜六色的植树造林的同时，聚集和放松，由各种各样的本地物种组成。

Leading south from the Plaza along the foot of the Town Walls is Western Esplanade. is is the first portion of a pedestrian route that will eventually reach all the way to the waterfront when future phases of the masterplan are developed. A sinuous planted swale creates pockets of space which allow people to gather and relax alongside colourful planting composed of wide variety of native species.

高耸的建筑是沿着城墙使用的，为夜间的设计提供了丰富的纹理背景，而公共领域的所有照明都是从建筑本身和树木提供的，确保广场没有杂乱，并集中注意古老的墙壁。

Uplighting is employed along the Town Wall providing a richly textured backdrop to the scheme at night, while all lighting to the public realm is provided from the building itself and the trees, ensuring the plaza is clutter-free and focusing attention of the ancient Walls.
