架构师提供的文本描述。公共休憩用地是城市的生活区。如果市场是“客厅”，那么车站广场就是“中心”。

Text description provided by the architects. Public open spaces are the living areas of cities. If the marketplace is the “livingroom”, the station square is the “Entrée”.

亚琛车站广场设计了一个排列整齐的城市空间，作为一个吸引人的城市入口。新车站广场代表了城市和铁路的形象，现在是亚琛的标志性部分。

A neatly arranged urban space was designed at the station square in Aachen to serve as an attractive entrance to the city. The new station square represents the image of the city and the railway and is now an iconic part of the Aachen.

在19世纪，一个拉长的开放广场被建立起来，形成了从主车站到边境街道的连接，比如前林荫大道、剧院e。广场前面有一座马术纪念碑和一个水盆，还有一条马蹄形道路，环绕着交通的边缘。

In the 19th century an elongated open square was built forming the link from the main station to the bordering streets such as the former boulevard Theaterstraße. The square contained an equestrian monument and water basin in front, and a horseshoe-shaped road around the edge for traffic.

该项目的主要重点是重建车站广场作为一个统一的开放空间，将广场的两个部分重新组合在一起。这是通过一个大的显性椭圆形状覆盖整个正方形来实现的。容易整合的能力，以及一个椭圆的强大而简单的几何性质，使它成为重新统一正方形的完美选择。椭圆的方向也有助于引导行人从车站到市中心。

The main focus of the project was to rebuild the station square as a unified open space by bringing the two halves of the square back together. This was achieved using a large dominant elliptical shape covering the whole square. The ability to easily integrate, and the strong yet simple geometric nature of an ellipse made it the perfect choice for reuniting the square. The orientation of the ellipse also helps to direct pedestrians from the station to the inner-city.

轻的，稍微弯曲的椭圆形表面(铸造就地行李箱，连接网格2.50x5.00米)是突出的黑色玄武岩板，用来覆盖其余的地区的广场。广场的裸露设计消除了杂乱和交通流的混乱，创造了一个活动区域，作为城市公共生活的中心。由于经济原因，繁忙街道的切口无法降低，在椭圆的焦点处，广场由两个14米高的光柱平衡。光柱有助于空间定向，特别是在晚上，当整个椭圆被两个大光圈照亮时。

The light, slightly curved elliptical surface (cast-in-place suitcase, joint grid 2.50 x 5.00 m) is highlighted by the dark basalt slab used to cover the remaining areas of the square. The bare design of the square removed clutter and untangled the traffic flow creating an event area to serve as the heart of public life in the city. The incision of the busy street – which couldn’t be lowered because of financial aspects – trough the square is balanced by two 14m high light-poles at the focal points of the ellipse. The light-poles contribute to the spatial orientation, especially in the evening when the whole ellipse is lit by two large circles of light.

椭圆上覆盖着一条石毯路径，引导旅客从火车站的正门到巴霍夫斯特拉e和市中心。傍晚时，小径被一条轻轨围成了框架.休息区位于北广场半圆，靠近正门和喷泉。广场北端有一个混凝土拱门，位于一排树木和两个楔形公共汽车站的前面，作为通往城市的入口。此外，在拉格豪斯特拉南部种植了一条新的树木线，以支持Zollamt开口处的光学缩减。

A stone-carpet path is overlain on the ellipse to guide travelers from the main entrance of the train station to Bahnhofstraße and the inner-city. In the evening the path is framed by a light-track. Rest areas are in the northern square semi circle and near the main entrance and the water fountains. A concrete arch with an integrated bench is located at the north end of the square in front of a line of trees and two wedge-shaped bus stops flank the square as gateways to the city. Also a new line of trees was planted on southern Lagerhaustraße to support the optical reduction of the opening at the Zollamt.

设计的重点是改善局部和长距离交通车站的可达性，以及移除广场上的交通。Alleenring在每个方向都有两条车道。交付和优先车辆车道可以到达Zallernstra e。在北部广场是住宅和送货车道，迫使两个巴士站被转移到石头地毯上。

Key points in the design were the improvement of the accessibility to the station for local and long distance traffic and the removal of traffic on the square. The Alleenring has two lanes in each direction. The delivery and priority vehicle driveway can be reached by Zollernstraße. On the northern square is the residential and delivery driveway forcing both busstops to be shifted onto the stone-carpet.
