卢森堡欧洲广场
Place de l’Europe, Luxemburg
The Place de l’Europe in Luxemburg is a spacious inner-city plaza. The triangularly shaped place is surrounded by dark, low-rise edifices with the main element being the Philharmonic Orchestra building in the center.
为了实现这个地方的潜力——即成为吸引游客、乘客和当地人的公共区域——人们寻求了一个新的空间概念。Topotek 1的设计以建筑环境为出发点，尊重这一背景。它拒绝认为，为了创造空间，需要全新的建筑，并遵循这样的信念，即微小的变化可以刺激新的和令人惊讶的空间体验。对相对较小的建筑元素潜力的信任是该设计的特点。为了在没有重大入侵的情况下实现广场的新定义，创作了两个扇形木雕。两个相对的部分现在提供了一个移动、玩耍和逗留的地方，同时形成了一个令人愉快的、原始的布局。它们还可以作为平台，举办各种公共活动，并根据季节变化和不同的社会需求开放不同的使用模式。
In order to realize the potential of this place – namely being an inviting public area for visitors, passengers, and locals – a new spatial concept was sought. Topotek 1’s design takes the architectural surrounding as its starting point and respectfully works with this context. It refuses the idea that, in order to create space, entirely new constructions are needed and follows the conviction, that minor changes can stimulate new and surprising spatial experiences. The trust in the potential of comparably small architectural elements characterises the design.To realise a new definition for the plaza without major invasions, two fan-shaped wooden sculptures were created. The two opposing segments now offer a place to move, play and linger, while forming a pleasant, pristine layout. They may also serve as platforms which can stage a variety of public activities and are open for different usage patterns depending on changing seasons and varying social needs.
在新广场落成仪式的范围内，Kirchberg Fund与卢森堡爱乐乐团合作，于2018年9月举办了YUMM美食节，由Topotek 1策划。游客可以品尝美食并享受环境，而五辆欧洲食品卡车则被当地美食评委会选为优胜者。这种形式是从各种拟议的文化和公共活动中挑选出来的，如舞蹈节、城市园艺、书展或高架滑冰。
Within the scope of the inauguration of the new square, Kirchberg Fund in partnership with Luxemburg Philharmonie organised YUMM, a food festival curated by Topotek 1 that took place in September 2018. Visitors could taste delicacies and enjoy the environment while fiveEuropean food trucks were selected as winners by a jury of local gastronomies. This format was selected out of various proposed cultural and public activities, such as a dance festival, urban gardening, a book fair or an elevated ice skating.
