阿维登广场
Averdung Platz
特约记者：在鲁尔地区的后工业城市杜伊斯堡的中心，克尼格·海因里希广场提供了一个矛盾的空间，一半是主广场，一半是安静的小公园。它有宽阔的、人迹罕至的草坪空间，毗邻一个热闹的步行区。随着一系列新的便利设施（一个会议中心、一个赌场和一个购物中心）的建设，这座城市打算重新安排这个区域，使其更具城市性和代表性。
Agence Ter: In the heart of Duisburg, a post-industrial town in the Ruhr area, the König-Heinrich Square offered an ambivalent space, half main square and half quiet little park. It had broad, much-frequented lawn spaces and it adjoined a lively pedestrian zone. With a series of new amenities under construction (a convention center, a casino and a shopping center), the city envisioned re-arranging this precinct to make it more urban and representative.

Agence Ter的景观设计师在随后的比赛中赢得了一个项目，该项目的灵感来自于现有广场的郁郁葱葱。他们认为，宽阔的草坪与市中心的位置毫不冲突，在如此密集的城市结构中，这甚至是一种主要的奢侈品；因此，他们保留了现有的草地。同时，他们拒绝满足于草的纯粹和简单。通过巧妙地增加和细化他们的视野，调整高度和边界线，他们创造了一个平静、优雅的空间，既简单的概念，又易于维护。因此，广场的中心被“凸起的牧场”占据，这些牧场的金属边缘通过它们投射的阴影创造出悬浮的效果。
The landscape architects of Agence Ter won the subsequent competition with a project inspired by the luxuriant green of the existing square. They considered that an ample expanse of lawn in no way conflicted with the location at the center of town, and was even a major luxury in so dense an urban fabric; they therefore preserved the existing grass expanse. At the same time they refused to be satisfied with grass pure and simple. By subtly multiplying and refining their horizons and adjusting heights and border lines, they contrived to create a calm, elegant space that was both simple in concept and easy to maintain. Thus the square is occupied, at its center, by ‘raised pastures’ whose metal edges create an effect of levitation with the shadows they throw.
在夜间，这种漂浮效果通过照明布置得到强调，照明布置由设置在悬垂金属边缘下方地面上的照明带组成。沿着这些边缘的间隔是白色科里安长凳，邀请你坐下来观看人们在绿色地带之间或穿过绿色地带——春天，种植在草地上的番红花使绿色变得五彩缤纷。
At night, this floating effect is emphasized by the lighting arrangements, which consist of illuminated bands set into the ground beneath the overhanging metal edges. At intervals along these edges are benches of white Corian that invite you to sit and watch the people passing between and across swaths of green – which in spring are made colorful by crocuses planted in the grass.
