这次的重建计划是由snøhetta设计事务所制定的，设计方案包括对公共区域的再设计，建立一个具有综合性、现代化和多动能为一体的时代广场，使其成为名副其实的曼哈顿核心。众所周知，时代广场位于百老汇大街和第七大街上，因此方案期望能够深度的挖掘出时代广场的休闲娱乐元素，并展现给世人。
此次方案涉及了三个重点，一是更新重要的基础设施，二是提供会议设施以用来承办规模更大的公共活动，三是创造出一个可持续的纽约时代广场。
整洁的人行道是由两种色调的预铸混凝土铺设而成的，整个人行道的形状酷似一个蝴蝶结。地面上无数个小光盘似的物体将路边的灯光散射至广场的每一个角落。沿着百老汇的那条路，还设有15米长的花岗岩长凳供过往的行人休憩。

after being chosen to redesign new york’s times square in 2010, snøhetta‘s plans for the iconic site are now under construction. the renovation involves updating the public space, establishing the area as an integrated, modern and multi-functional arena at the heart of manhattan. situated on broadway and 7th avenue, the scheme is envisioned as an outdoor stage which references the area’s rich entertainments heritage.
after the experimental pedestrianization of areas of new york was successfully trialed in 2009, the city’s department of transportation was encouraged to apply a similar approach at times square. the three point plan involved upgrading crucial utility infrastructure, providing event facilities that can accommodate new and expanded public events, and making permanent the temporary improvements the city piloted in 2009.

referred to as the ‘bowtie’, the site is imagined as ‘outdoor room’, connected through uncluttered pedestrian zones made from pre-cast concrete pavers. set within the two-tone paving, small discs capture the area’s bright lights and neon signs, playfully scattering and dispersing their reflections across the square. along broadway, ten 15 meter granite benches frame the public plazas drawing in visitors and forming flexible and informal event spaces.

‘our goal is to improve the quality and atmosphere of this historic site for tourists and locals, pedestrians and bicyclists, while reducing the traffic impediments so the ‘crossroads of the world’ will retain its edge while refining its floor’, explained craig dykers, founding partner of snøhetta.
