架构师提供的文本描述。温特图尔车站广场位于旧城、火车站和即将到来的零售和办公区之间的战略位置。每天都有近10万人以行人的身份穿越这座城市-同时，它也是温特图尔市公交线路的中心。

Text description provided by the architects. The Station Square of Winterthur is located on a strategic location between the old city, the train station and an upcoming retail and office district. Almost 100’000 people cross it every day as pedestrians – at the same time it’s the heart of Winterthur’s city bus lines.

在重新设计广场之前，有几个木桶状的天篷建筑，建于80年代。他们在广场上堆满了大量的屋顶构件、柱子和设备.这座古城藏在这个檐篷后面，广场被分成了几个区域。

Before the redesign of the square there were several canopy constructions in barrel shape, built in the 80s. They over-filled the square with their high number of roof elements, columns and equipment. The old city was hidden behind this canopies and the square was divided into zones.

新的项目是统一广场，我们努力保持步行街尽可能开放，以更好的方向和产生慷慨。出于这个原因，我们建造了一个没有可见柱的大屋顶建筑。另外，所有的架空线路都直接固定在屋顶上，形成一个浮动网格。最小而精确的屋顶给城市空间带来了一个清晰的新组织，并成为温特图尔到达的游客的欢迎标志。

The new project is unifying the square and we worked hard to keep the pedestrian level as open as possible, for a better orientation and to generate generosity. For this reason we created a big roof construction without visible columns. Also all the overhead lines are fixed directly on the roof and create a floating grid. The minimal and precise roof body brings a clear new organization of the urban space and stands as a welcoming sign for arriving visitors of Winterthur.

该项目最重要和最具决定性的元素，雕塑屋顶，有一个高达34米(112英尺)的悬臂。它的非对称底座包含一个售票亭，由6根钢柱组成，每个支柱的重量可达1200吨。在竞争阶段，建筑师和工程师非常密切地合作，将轻钢结构概念化。激光穿孔的铝制皮肤，使结构和允许日光透过。

The project’s most important and defining element, the sculptural roof, has a cantilever of up to 34 meters (112 feet). It’s asymmetric base contains a ticket kiosk and is built out of 6 steel pillars, each taking weights up to 1200 tons. Already in the competition phase, architects and engineers worked very closely to conceptualize the light steel structure. A laser perforated aluminum skin dresses the structure and allows the daylight to shine through.
