架构师提供的文本描述。在南方的战士广场花园重新开放后，一个新的设计由吉列斯派。坐落在它的商店和公共设施的中心-这一关键公共空间的再生是该镇复兴的基石。这个空间现在提供了一个生机勃勃的绿色空间，在以前被忽视的维多利亚时代晚期的广场上，这个广场已经成为反社会行为的避风港。

Text description provided by the architects. Warrior Square gardens in Southend have newly reopened following a new design by Gillespies. Situated in the heart of its shops and public amenities - the regeneration of this key public space is a cornerstone in the town’s revival. The space now offers a vibrant green space in what had previously been a neglected late-Victorian square, which had become a haven for anti-social behavior.

从一开始，Gillespies就对历史布局的结构做出了回应，重新组合了英国花园广场熟悉的元素，包括草坪、种植床、座椅、照明、焦点和边界，但都是现代使用的。

From the outset, Gillespies responded to the structure of the historical layout, recomposing the familiar elements of an English Garden Square, with lawn, planting beds, seating, lighting, a focal point and boundaries, but for contemporary use.

新的布局是仔细地围绕一些最好的树木在南方，周边步行和景观庆祝这一主导线的原始石灰树，以及雄伟的松树和雪松树。

The new layout is carefully structured around some of the finest trees in Southend, with perimeter walks and views celebrating this dominant line of original lime trees as well as majestic Pine and Cedar trees.

为了与广场晚期维多利亚时代的起源保持一致，Gillespies还试图捕捉到Southend海滨奇观和海滨长廊的精髓，因此花园的边缘提供了供街头表演者和聚会的地方，而它的核心是一片简单而灵活的开阔草坪。

In keeping with the square’s late-Victorian origins, Gillespies also sought to capture the essence of Southend’s seaside spectacle and promenade – so the edge of the Gardens offers areas for street performers and gathering whilst at its heart there is a simple and flexible open lawn.

花园周围保留了一个清晰的门槛，用一个多功能的框架取代了旧的过度生长的边框，标志着绿地的范围。这提供了一个新的宽敞的入口广场，沿花园北缘的高架石灰人行道，长椅和南边的花卉步行。

A clear threshold around the garden has been retained, replacing the old overgrown borders with a multi-functional frame around the Gardens, marking the extent of the green space. This offers a new expansive entrance square, an elevated limewalk along the northern edge of the Gardens with long feature benches and a floral walk to the south.

定制化的长凳端细节是通过拍摄花生和激光蚀刻创造的，以创造一个独特的自然参考和公园主题的石灰树头顶。

The bespoke detailing of the bench ends was created though shot peaning and laser etching to create a distinctive natural reference and park motif to the Lime trees overhead.

 Bench Concept to Completion

板凳概念完成

为推广户外活动及延长花园的使用至晚上，当局已在木板下设置一系列管道及电源点，以提供独立的灵活性，以支援社区的用途。内置的电力和投影设施也被隐藏在街道家具中，以使户外活动，如沿林荫大道的市场和社区活动，无论是在中央草坪上还是在入口广场。

In order to promote external events and extend the use of the Gardens in to the evening, a series of ducts and power points have been located beneath the timber decking to provide discrete flexibility to support community uses. Inbuilt power and projection provision has also been hidden within the street furniture to enable outdoor events such as markets along the Limewalk and community events either on the central lawn or on the entrance square.

由于公共花园是必不可少的通道，安全和舒适的所有人都建立，最后的设计包括功能，如本地化的掉落路缘，以方便从石灰道轮式连接。木材长凳是温暖的触摸将定期扶手，和许多其他符合DDA的设计功能已被纳入。

As a public garden is was essential that access, safety and comfort for all was established and the final design includes features such as localised dropped kerbs to facilitate wheeled links from the limewalk. The timber benches are warm to the touch will regular armrests, and many other DDA-compliant design features have been incorporated.

简单而开放的草坪周围环绕着活跃的边缘，供所有壁画就餐、坐席和散步，再次将勇士广场花园置于城镇生活的中心。在索森德鼎盛时期的精神下，居民和游客现在接到了一份邀请，要在英国传统的花边漫步，漫步在花园的石灰廊下，在一片雄伟的石灰树下，在草坪上野餐。

The simple open lawn surrounded by active edges for al fresco dining, seating and strolling once again places Warrior Square Gardens at the centre of town life. In the spirit of Southend’s heyday, residents and tourists to the town now have an invitation to walk in the middle of a traditional English floral border, stroll along the Gardens' limewalk beneath a canopy of majestic Lime trees and picnic on the lawn.
