TITAN 的新装置灵感来源于建筑师Mathurin Crucy所建立的形式与平衡之间的关系，该建筑师于十八世纪末设计了广场和剧院。这个临时结构以轮滑场为特色，适应了地面的不规则性，同时利用场地的自然坡度，使广场重新获得其中心地位，支持开展自由滑冰活动。

TITAN: The new installation designed by TITAN is inspired by the relationship between form and balance established by architect Mathurin Crucy, who designed both the square and the theater in the late 18th century. Featuring a roller skating rink, this temporary structure has been adapted to the irregularities of the ground and plays with its natural slope, giving the square a renewed sense of centrality, and opening it up to hours of fancy-free skating.

溜冰场主体结构直径38米，由预制白色混凝土制成，溜冰轨道则用白色混凝土现场浇筑。慢行的溜冰者和运动员可以在场内跑道上相遇，这为近年来一项重获人气的活跃运动——旱地滑冰赛提供了致敬机会。

Measuring 38m in diameter, the main structure is made of prefabricated white concrete, while the rink track is poured-in-place white concrete. Amblers and athletes alike can meet on the track inside the rink, which offers an opportunity to honour a lively and effervescent sport that has made a comeback in recent years: Roller derby.

观众可以坐在广场的台阶上观看露天比赛，台阶就这样自然而然地成为了看台。公众也可以坐在装置的边缘处休息，边缘的长椅邀请每个人在新的角度下思考和审视格拉斯林广场。广场的设计概念探索了历史肌理、不同视角和城市社会动态之间的平衡比例关系，为居民和假日里的游客提供了一个崭新的公共开放空间。

Spectators can sit on the steps of the theatre – conveniently turned into bleachers – for an open-air match. The public can also sit at the edge of the installation, where benches invite everyone to contemplate and discover Place Graslin in this new light. The concept explores the relationship between the balanced proportions of the historic fabric, the divergent views, and the city’s social dynamics, providing inhabitants and festival visitors with a new open public space.
