赫蒂格·约翰·托格·奥赫·加塔
Hertig Johans Torg Och Gata
斯克夫德是瑞典的一个中型城镇，位于斯德哥尔摩和哥德堡之间。这座城市有着悠久的历史和众多的品质，但与许多其他规模相同的城市一样，城市中心的关注点和活动不断减少。这一发展与外部购物中心的扩张和公共空间使用的整体变化有很大关系。这个项目——赫蒂格·约翰·托格（Hertig Johans torg）——明确指出了公共空间作为小城市重要身份的价值。
Skövde is a middle-sized Swedish town halfway between Stockholm and Gothenburg. The city has a long history and lot of qualities but struggles as many other cities in the same size with declining focus and activities in the city center. A development that has a lot to do with the expansion of external shopping centers and overall change of use of the public space. This project – Hertig Johans torg – pinpoints the value of the public space as an important identity for the smaller city.
2016年春天，兰德赢得了斯克夫德中心广场的邀请赛；”Hertig Johans torg”，与相邻街道——“Hertig Johans gata”相连，与火车站“Resecentrum”相连。在斯科夫德，火车是一种广泛使用的主要公共交通工具。该项目的目标是在广场和火车站之间建立一个明显而独特的联系，街道和公园是两者之间的重要中介。旨在保留城市空间代表性的布局，但同时添加新活动，构成了整个项目方案的基础。
During the spring of 2016, LAND won the invited competition for Skövde’s central square; “Hertig Johans torg”, with the adjacent street – “Hertig Johans gata” which connects with the train station “Resecentrum”. In Skövde, the train is a main public transport used widely. A goal with the project was to create an obvious and distinct connection between the square and the train station with the street and the park as important mediators between the two. A layout that aimed to preserve the representative character of the urban spaces but at the same time adding new activities constituted the basis for the overall project scheme.
在土地布局中，Hertig Johans gata在空间上采用了一条沿街道延伸的直线公园道路和与现有树木混合的种植区。这一新轮廓的灵感来自街道和公园之间的历史性界面，并强调了这一重要区域。人行道加宽，为室外就餐提供更多空间，行人和连接街道与街道的连接更加清晰。
In LANDs layout Hertig Johans gata is spatially reinforced with a straight park path that runs along the street and planting zones which are mixed in with the existing trees. This new outline is inspired by the historic interface between the street and the park and emphasizes this important zone. The pavement is widened to provide more space for outdoor dining and pedestrians and connecting streets are more clearly connected to the street.
广场建于中世纪，是网格城市中的一个大凹处。这是一个独特的城市空间，有一个大约3.5%的均匀倾斜平面向下朝向斯科夫德教堂。其主要思想是使斜坡变平，使广场朝向城市的参照物——教堂。这样，将创建坡度为1.5%的内部零件。两个台阶的框架形成了自己的座位空间，通过四个主轴可进入的通道将广场转化为一个多功能表面，可承载不同规模的活动、市场、座位组，保持开放空间的感觉。
The square dates to the Middle Ages, a large recess in the grid city. It is a unique urban space with an evenly sloping plane of around 3,5% down towards Skövde church. The main idea is to flatten the slope and face the square towards the urban reference, the church. With this, an inner part with a slope of 1,5% is created. The frame of two steps generates its own space for seating, and an accessible access through the four cardinal axes convert the square into a multifunctional surface that can carry events, market, seating groups of different scales keeping the feeling of an open space.
广场内部的人行道由石板制成，并与教堂以相同的角度扭曲，使教堂成为中心动机。五种不同的石头，六种不同的尺寸和处理方式，提供了一个动态和微妙的细节，适用于整个表面。广场配备了适应该方向的元素，这些元素有助于小规模的空间质量，例如种植的树木和较小的种植瓮。为该项目设计并在当地生产的大型特殊座椅组，成为全年的会议和日光浴点。水处理也是项目的一部分，在新建的树木下有一个大型种植床，用于处理广场和相邻建筑物上的所有雨水。
The pavement of the inner part of the square, is made with stone slabs and twisted in the same angle as the church to bring the church as a central motive. The five different stones, in six different sizes and treatment gives a dynamic and delicate detail that applies to the whole surface. The square is furnished with elements that adapt to that orientation contribute to spatial qualities in the smaller scale, such as the planted trees and smaller planting urns. A special a large seating group, designed for the project and produced locally, become an all-year-round meeting and sunbathing point. The water treatment is also part of the project where a large planting bed, located under the new trees take care of all the stormwater on the square and the adjacent buildings.
Hertig Johans torg展示了公共空间的重要性，以及一个小城市通过正确的关注和努力可以实现的目标。该项目与市政当局、广场周围的店主和餐厅密切合作，当地木匠和承包商也参与了施工阶段。自2019年秋季正式开幕以来，已经举办了几项大型活动，如美食节、大屏幕电视活动和各种表现形式，广场周围和街道沿线已经建立了几家带户外座位的餐厅。在持续的日冕危机期间，广场已成为人们的重要聚会点，只能在户外看到。许多不同的坐姿和享受开放空间的方式都对这一点起到了重要作用。
Hertig Johans torg shows the importance of the public space and what a smaller city can achieve with the right focus and effort. The project has been carried out in close collaboration with the municipality, the shop owners and restaurants around the square, and local carpenters and contractors have been engaged in the construction phase. Since the official opening in the autumn of 2019, several large events such as a food festival, events with big-screen TV and various manifestations have taken place and around the square and along the street several restaurants with outdoor seating has been established. During the ongoing Corona crisis, the square has become an important meeting point for people which can only be seen outdoors. The many different way to take a seat and enjoy the open space contribute not least to this.
