架构师提供的文本描述。日落公园材料回收设施是纽约市路边金属、玻璃和塑料回收材料的加工中心，由西姆斯市回收公司和纽约市负责。位于日落公园的一座11英亩的海滨码头上，这一设计受到了它作为一个回收中心的规划用途的影响，这激发了整个循环再利用的灵感。

Text description provided by the architects. The Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility is a processing center for New York City’s curbside metal, glass, and plastic recyclables which is being undertaken by Sims Municipal Recycling and the City of New York. Located on an 11 acre waterfront pier in Sunset Park, the design was influenced by its programmatic use as a recycling center which inspired reuse throughout.

总体规划组织建筑物以支持功能，创建独特的循环系统，安全地将游客与业务分开，并增加了两英亩的本地种植面积。建筑物的组织也创造了自己的城市环境。这座14万SF设施包括一座倾卸式大楼，在那里可以用驳船和卡车运送可回收的物品；加工大楼，其中有超过2500万美元的复杂分类设备，以及电子压缩机、消防泵和主管室；由8个装货码头提供服务的包存储大楼；以及一栋人员大楼(午餐室、更衣室、办公室)和一个教育中心。

The masterplan organizes buildings to support functionality, creates distinct circulation systems to safely separate visitors from operations, and adds two acres of native plantings. Buildings are also organized to create the site’s own urban context. The 140,000 sf facility includes a Tipping Building, where recyclables arrive by barge and truck; Processing Building that houses more than $25,000,000 in complex sorting equipment, as well as electrical compressor, fire pump, and supervisor rooms; Bale Storage Building served by eight loading docks; and a building for personnel (lunch room, locker rooms, offices) and an Education Center.

教育中心是该项目最独特的特色之一。该结构包括面向学生和公众的课程，包括教室、展览和交互式演示展示。该设计的一个关键要素是一座钢桥，将教育中心与加工设施内的观景台连接起来。观景台让学生和游客看到回收过程中的行动。

The Education Center is one of the project’s most unique features. The structure contains programs for school children and the public including classrooms, exhibitions, and interactive demonstration displays. A key element of the design is a steel bridge which connects the Education Center to a viewing platform inside the Processing Facility. The viewing platform allows students and visitors to see the recycling process in action.

在一座预设计的建筑内工作，设计上的挑战之一是找到方法来表达程序，并给出一个设施的整体表达，以区别于普通的大盒子结构。作为回应，结构元素倒置出现在外部，给钢梁和横向支撑一个更大的视觉冲击力。

Working within a pre-engineered building, one of the design challenges was to find ways to articulate the program and give an overall expression to the facility that would distinguish it from ordinary big box construction. In response, structural elements are inverted to appear on the exterior, giving steel girders and lateral bracing a greater visual impact.

该设施通过驳船运送可回收材料对环境做出了重大贡献-这是一项减少收集卡车必须行驶的距离的战略，并消除了每年从公路上行驶的24万英里车辆。回收材料在整个过程中被使用：现场填土是由第二大道地铁建筑中回收的玻璃、沥青和岩石组成的复合材料；建筑物是用再生钢建造的；广场是用再生玻璃完成的。其他可持续的措施包括在纽约市最大规模地应用光伏发电，这是一种风力涡轮机，产生了该设施15%的电力，以及用于雨水管理的生物瓦片。

The facility makes a major environmental contribution by delivering recyclables by barge—a strategy which minimizes the distance collection trucks must travel and eliminates 240,000 miles of annual vehicle travel from roadways. Recycled materials are used throughout: site fill is made from a composite of recycled glass, asphalt, and rock reclaimed from the Second Avenue subway construction; buildings are made from recycled steel; and plazas are finished with recycled glass. Other sustainable measures include the largest application of photovoltaics in New York City, a wind turbine which generates 15% of the facility’s power, and bioswales for stormwater management.
