开放广场

打开整个空间的视觉关系至关重要 。 为此 ， 站台上的现有树木经过砍伐 。 设计师希望从广场上的开放植物为出发点 ， 从而形成变革性的姿态 ， 广场中央部分没有灌木 ， 周边的灌木树冠松散 ， 从而引导人们进入开阔的景观区 。 广场焕然一新 ， 每一个穿越和绕行的人现在都会注意到它 ， 设计师将公共汽车站放置在广场的一侧 ， 并从空间中心清除额外的物体和交通标志 ， 将开放性表现出来 。 广场上还种了两棵大郁金香树 ， 形成广场的“门户” ， 这将打开Helkijn Straat到田野之间的开阔景观 。

Opening the Square

The most important spatial gesture is opening the visual relationship across the whole width of the place. For this the existing trees on the dam are thinned out. The aim is to generate a transformative gesture that spans from the openness of single trees on the square at Helkijnstraat via a loose tree canopy with no undergrowth in the central part to a denser vegetative volume that “leads” into the open landscape. The square will have a new presence. Everyone crossing and bypassing will now notice passing over or by a square. The opening of the square is reinforced by placing the bus stand on the side of the square and generally clearing extra objects and traffic signs out of the centre of the space. Two large tulip trees are planted in the square. As a pair they will form a “gate” onto the square and a gate from Helkijn Straat into the open landscape of the fields.
