Text description provided by the architects. From Growing Pains to Growing Commitment The new City Hall and cultural center in the Dutch city of Nieuwegein, is designed to create cohesion and the foundation for a stronger local community.

These elements have been the core of Danish practice 3XN's design. "It was important for us to create a building that was welcoming, rather than authoritarian in its expression," says Principal and founder of 3XN, Kim Herforth Nielsen.

Nieuwegein位于乌得勒支以南5公里处，自1970年以来，该市居民从8，000人增加到2012年的62，000人。人口的强劲增长对城市的社会文化发展提出了更高的要求。金·赫弗斯·尼尔森解释说：“在尼乌韦金，这是他们非常清楚的一项挑战。因此，我们试图建造一座能够促进与城市社会联系的建筑。”

Nieuwegein is located 5 km south of Utrecht, and since 1970 the city has grown from having just 8,000 inhabitants to 62,000 inhabitants in 2012. The strong growth in population makes heavy demands on the city administration to develop the city socially and culturally. "It's a challenge they are very conscious of in Nieuwegein. Therefore we have tried to create a building that can be a catalyst for social affiliation with the city," explains Kim Herforth Nielsen.

从建筑上看，这座建筑的出发点是从一个中央明亮的中庭出发，那里有一座雕塑般的楼梯，从那里飞升而过，连接着许多不同的设施-实际上，市政厅里通常没有这样的设施。通过将当地图书馆、公民服务中心、咖啡馆、文化中心和大楼内的商业空间聚集在一起，市政厅与各种日常活动融为一体。这创造了生活在建筑物一整天，并加强了与商业和住宅周围的联系。

Architecturally the building takes its point of departure from a central and bright atrium from where a sculptural staircase soars up through the building and connects the many diverse facilities – indeed facilities not normally found in a City Hall. By bringing together the local library, citizen service centre, café, cultural center and commercial spaces in the building, the City Hall fuses with a range of everyday activities. This creates life in the building all day, and strengthens the connection to the commercial and residential area surrounding the building.

这五层楼像扇子一样展开，向中庭敞开，让大楼的访客和员工在视觉上与其他楼层的情况联系起来。3 XN非常强调通过使用窗口来最大限度地利用日光的好处，包括4层的一个巨大的图片窗口，通过该窗口日光流进建筑物。“日光有助于创造一个良好的工作和生活环境-它能让人跟随一天的节奏，享受日间变换所产生的细微差别，”金·赫弗斯·尼尔森(Kim Herforth Nielsen)解释说。Nieuwegein市长FransBackhuijs先生将建筑物的开放式结构和许多不同的设施描述为城市管理部门的一大优势。他说：“我们全日与市民及市民保持密切的视觉联系。这有助于在为更好的Nieuwegein工作时带来更多的快乐和热情“。

The five floors spread out like a fan and open up towards the atrium, allowing the building's visitors and employees to visually connect with what is happening on the other floors. 3XN puts great emphasis into maximizing the benefits of daylight through use of windows, including a huge picture window on the 4th floor, through which daylight streams down into the building. "Daylight contributes to a good working and living environment – it allows one to follow the rhythm of the day and enjoy the small nuances created by the shifting daylight," explains Kim Herforth Nielsen. The Mayor of Nieuwegein, Mr. FransBackhuijs describes the open structure of the building and the many different facilities as a great advantage for the city administration. “We are in close visual contact with the city and citizens throughout the day. That contributes to even more joy and enthusiasm when working for a better Nieuwegein”.

这栋建筑有两个正面。内部是一个传统的混凝土和玻璃立面，而外部外观玻璃图案丝网几乎折叠周围的建筑，但没有完全覆盖。这样就避免了工作站区域的阳光直射，而大厅和餐厅等空间则能获得最大的自然日光，并能畅通无阻地俯瞰整个城市。玻璃的蓝色和灰色几何图案给正面一个三维的表达，并反映了建筑和纽韦金的多样性。

The building has two facades. The inner is a traditional facade of concrete and glass, while the exterior facade of glass patterned silkscreen almost folds around the building, but without covering it completely. This avoids direct sunlight in work station areas, while spaces like the lobby and restaurant receive maximum natural daylight and unobstructed views over the city. The glass’ geometric patterns in blue and grey give the facade a three-dimensional expression and reflect the diversity of both the building and Nieuwegein.
