场所功能

广场的微调有助于丰富公共区域的功能性 。 这里也可以用于机动车的行驶 ， 毕竟 ， 车站广场本质上就是不同交通方式的汇合点 。 与此同时 ， 设计师还增加了行人交通、休闲、会议 ， 甚至举办小型文化活动的地方 。 Helkijn straat人行道被延伸 ， 形成了广场的中央地带 。 其旁侧还有巴黎咖啡厅（Café de Paris） ， 这些空间将不同的功能相互结合 ， 为行人提供便利 。 Oud火车站的中央广场和咖啡厅前面的阶梯则利用了室外座位形成外部空间 。

Making places

A slight reorganisation of the squares’ surfaces will help to generate the functional opportunities of public users. Motorised traffic should not be excluded from the square are altogether–after all a station square is essentially about the convergence of different modes of transportation. At the same time pedestrian traffic and areas for relaxation for meeting or even for staging small cultural events do currently not exist there. The sidewalk at Helkijnstraat is extended to create a paved surface in the middle of the square. The same is done next to the Café de Paris. This creates two distinct surfaces that offer themselves to pedestrians. The Oud Stationsplein has a (central) square again and a terrace in front of the café. The café will have a chance to use the exterior space for outdoor seating.
