Emporia,是坐落于瑞士南部城市Malmo的一个购物中心,在今年的世界室内设计节中赢得奖项。
Emporia, which won the Shopping Centres category at this year's Inside Festival, is a shopping mall located to the south of the city of Malmoo in Sweden.
购物中心有两个大入口分别采用色彩鲜艳的弧形玻璃,一种是琥珀色一种是蓝色。
“两个主要入口引导人们进入购物中心,“Lyth说。“他们是由一个双曲面玻璃(结构)构成。带人们进入到购物中心。”
It features two gaping entrances made out of brightly-coloured curved glass, one amber and one blue.
"Two main entrances lead people into the shopping centre," says Lyth. "They are formed by a double-curved glass [structure]. They should drag people inside the shopping centre."
贯穿在建筑中彩色玻璃的运用,引导顾客进入到“8字形”的的购物中西中。
The use of coloured glass continues throughout the building to help lead customers through the shopping centre's figure-of-eight plan.
“彩色玻璃贯穿整个建筑中,不同交通流线枢纽处采用不同颜色,” Lyth解释道。“因为购物中心很难找到出口,因此在不同的交通流线枢纽处采用很强的色彩,营造不同的气氛和识别性似乎是一个很合理的想法。”
"The coloured glass goes through the whole of the building, different colours are used in different circulation hubs," Lyth explains. "One of the problems with a shopping centre is that they're usually quite hard to find your way around. So [using] strong colours, giving a strong atmosphere and identity to different hubs seemed like a reasonable idea."
他补充到:“当来到购物中心,8字形的设计是较为普遍的共同特性,曲线的造型会让人有点期待下一个角落的后面会是什么”
He adds: "The figure-of-eight is quite a common feature when it comes to shopping centres. The curved shape gives you a hint of what's hiding behind the next corner."
购物中心的楼上是公寓和办公空间,当让在房顶还有一个面对公众的屋顶花园。
The building features residential and office units on the levels above the shopping centre, as well as a publicly accessible roof garden on the top.
“市政府要求我们购物中心应更多的考虑绿色植物的运用,” Lyth说。“因为楼顶没有商业价值,因此被我们利用起来,用作可以放松的地方。”
"The municipality demanded that the greenery we took with the shopping centre should be given back," Lyth says. "The roof has no commercial value, so it's just a place where you can relax."
该项目总耗时五年完成。Lyth说Emporia购物中心的规模体量之所以能在Malmo 可行,是因为连接在瑞士和丹麦之间于2000年开放的Oresund大桥。
“Emporia购物中心的地理位置是处在Malmo区域内,且距离哥本哈根机场比距离根本哈跟市中心还要进一些,”他说,“在区域范围内这是一个很大的转变,购物商场所处的位置也为赢得更多新的商机带来可能。”
The whole project took five years to complete. Lyth says a shopping centre the size of Emporia only became viable in Malmo when the Oresund Bridge, which connects Sweden to Denmark, opened in 2000.
"It made part of Malmo, where Emporia now is situated, closer to the international airport of Copenhagen than Copenhagen itself," he says. "That was a tremendous shift in the region and made it possible for [the site where Emporia was built] to gain a lot of new value."
尽管在这一区域内有大量的购物中心存在,但Lyth Emporia购物中心仍会很突出。“因为建筑的表现力确实很强,”他说,“我认为人们确实很喜欢它所营造的气氛和氛围,与其他正常的购物中心相比,他有与众不同的地方。”
Despite the large number of shopping centres in the area, Lyth believes Emporia stands out.
"The building is performing pretty well," he says. "I think that people really like the atmosphere, the ambience. It's something different than the normal shopping centre."
