St. Plechelmussquare

Bureau B+B: The goal set by Oldenzaal’s city council for the redesign of St. Plechelmus square was to make it the most beautiful square in Twente. The square can be upgraded if the parking is removed from around the cathedral.

圣普莱切莫斯广场位于奥尔登扎尔市中心；它是城市的地标，也是通往广场的乡村道路的终点站。大教堂最古老的部分可追溯到12世纪，其彩色彩色玻璃窗可追溯到19世纪，使大教堂真正独一无二。奥尔登扎尔市是一座古老的防御城市，其中世纪的街道模式在市中心仍然可见。将注意力集中在大教堂和中世纪街道图案上是设计的主旨，也是重新设计圣普莱切莫斯广场的灵感来源。由周围立面形成的开放空间是中世纪街道模式的特征。沿着旧立面方向的低墙在重新设计中突出了这一特点。
St. Plechelmus square lies in the heart of Oldenzaal; it is the city’s landmark and terminus for the country roads that lead to the square. The oldest sections of the cathedral date from the twelfth century and its colourful stained glass windows, dating from the nineteenth century, make the cathedral truly unique. The city of Oldenzaal is an age-old fortified city whose medieval street pattern is still visible in the city centre. Focussing attention on the cathedral and the medieval street pattern is the design’s leitmotif and source of inspiration for the redesign of St. Plechelmus square. An open space that is formed by the façades surrounding it is a characteristic of medieval street patterns. A low wall that follows in the direction of the old façades accentuates this characteristic in the redesign.

狭窄的街道与广场的规模形成对比，广场上有足够的空间举办活动、游乐会和市场。交通只是暂时的客人。沿着广场边缘的树木边缘加强了空间的形状。人行道以一种非凡的图案设计，灵感来自大教堂彩色玻璃窗的形式，将大教堂安装在基座上。该图案强调空间是一个休息和放松的地方。砖是广场的基本铺路材料，其颜色的混合非常适合奥尔登扎尔和大教堂的砂岩。在计划中，对细节给予了极大的关注。这已转化为与周围区域的仔细考虑的连接、街道设施的整合、排水和细致的挡土墙计算。这些将有助于延长这一公共空间的可持续性。
There is a contrast between the narrow streets and the scale in the square, where there is room enough for events, the fun fair and the market. Traffic is only a temporary guest. A rim of trees along the edge of the square reinforces the shape of the space. The pavement, in an extraordinary pattern inspired by forms in the cathedral’s stained glass windows, mounts the cathedral on a base. The pattern emphasises the space as a place to stop and relax. Brick is the square’s basic paving material and has been chosen in a particular mixture of colours well suited to both Oldenzaal and the cathedral’s sandstone. In the plan, a great deal of attention has been given to the details. This has been translated into carefully considered connections with the surrounding area, incorporation of street furniture, drainage and meticulous retaining wall calculations. These will help prolong the sustainability of this public space.
