Studio Vulkan：新的市政厅广场位于雷根斯多夫（Regensdorf）大街上，介于火车站和市中心之间。这个引人注目的广场作为当地城镇的一张名片，既可以作为活动场所，也可以当作一个简单的休憩空间。在市政厅办完结婚公正手续的新人夫妻可以在这里开展小型的婚礼庆典，匆匆而过的路人也可以在此坐下休息。

Studio Vulkan: The new town hall and plaza are on the main street of Regensdorf stretching between the train station and town center. The Plaza on this prominent site functions as a visiting card for the town and should function both for events, in particular wedding festivities following the civil marriage in the town hall, as well as a simple space to enjoy while passing through.

因为靠近市政厅，广场的主题就是“婚庆”，这块场地因有这样一个庆祝婚礼的用途而广为人知。百合花是婚礼上常见的花朵，设计师将其印在混凝土铺路石上，就像刚刚扔给新婚夫妇一样。

The identity of the plaza takes the theme of the wedding. The most celebrated use for the plaza embeds it into the design. Lilies, a common flower for weddings, are imprinted into the concrete pavers as if just thrown to the bridal pair.

广场上大水圈的形状是参考结婚戒指而设计的，它在现有建筑和新建筑之间建立了一个共同的中心点。人们在广场上经历过的、正在经历的以及即将发生的庆祝活动会越来越丰富，并逐渐成为这个城镇集体记忆中的一部分。

A large ring of water, making playful reference to the wedding ring, builds a common central point between the existing and new buildings of the town hall. Many festivities seen or experienced on the plaza build up over the years and become a part of the collective memory of the town.

广场上的两种树木象征着乡村和城市的边界，连香树（Cercidiphyllum japonicum）和杨树（Populus tremula）有着相似的叶和树型，连香树是日本园林中会用到的树种，杨树是瑞士农村常见的乡土树种。

The two tree species used here, are emblematic of this site as an interface between country and city. The Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) and Aspen (Populus tremula) have similar leaf and tree forms. The Katsura tree is a Japanese garden tree and the poplar is a native tree encountered often in the Swiss countryside.
