摘　　要：The Niagara Escarpment,a 440-million-year-old landform,cuts through a property owned by the University of Toronto in Caledon,Ontario in Canada.The property juxtaposes impacts from historical quarrying activity which burrowed directly into the Escarpment’s slope,the greater context of the region’s urban development demands,and the Escarpment’s identity as an ancient geological formation,ecological refugium,and old-growth forest housing ancient species such as Thuja occidentalis.This project explores the university’s responsibility in advocating for the protection of the Escarpment’s unique ecologic conditions,including the distinct cliff ecosystems and the novel successional plant communities evolving on sites of former quarry activities.Interventions on the trail system,cave bridges and lookouts,and the boardwalk and path system,along with guidance of signage and trail markers,will bring visitors to areas where former quarry activities sculptured the Escarpment’s limestone faces and are now reclaimed by a system of lush novel wetlands and habitats in evolutionary stages.Connecting to a system of existing public trails,this project leverages the university’s educational and recreational objectives to form new strategic partnerships with local conservancy groups,aiming at monitoring and managing access and habitat protection.在一片隶属于加拿大多伦多大学的土地上有一处令人惊叹的景观,拥有4.4亿年地质历史的尼亚加拉断崖横穿其中。为满足城市大规模发展的需求,在这片土地曾开展过长时间的工业采石活动;同时,断崖作为古老的地质构造和生态避难所,保留了北美香柏(Thuja occidentalis)等原始森林栖息地。本项目探讨了多伦多大学在保护断崖独特生态环境方面的责任,涵盖特殊的悬崖生态系统和在旧采石场遗址上形成的新生演替植物群落。通过针对步道系统、洞穴桥梁和观景台、栈道和路径系统提出的设计干预,及借助标识和路径标记,可将游客引导至由以往采石活动所塑造的断崖石灰岩岩面——如今这些地方已被郁郁葱葱的新生湿地和逐步演化的栖息地所覆盖。该项目将连接现有的公共步道系统,优化场地的教育和休闲功能,同时与当地自然保护组织建立全新的战略合作伙伴关系,以更加有效地管理和监督游客访问,并兼顾栖息地保护。
