这是由Tengbom设计的赫尔辛堡市南入口。该项目是为了解决赫尔辛堡市因游客急剧增加而引起的交通和城市压力，为南部的扩展提供转型和改革。该项目将加强赫尔辛堡市与该城市南部、未来H+区域的联系。该区域将引入新的交通流量、更多的活动活力，从而减少城镇隔离。建筑师认为该区域是多种旅游路线与城市活动流线之间的过渡点，但同时也是该城市不同部分与空间之间的过渡点。它将是一个动态变化的项目，为该城市提供一个富有吸引力的节点。新入口不仅是物理上和建筑上的过渡点，也是隐喻性的过渡点。从物理来看，它是基于对交通流和人流的来理解而设计的。从建筑来看，这是开放性的围护物，轻与重，几何与有机形态。而从隐喻来看，这也是从过渡点到新旅游区的一种象征。

From the architect. The Municipality of Helsingborg has witnessed a sharp increase in traffic to and from the city. Looking forward to 2020, it is estimated that daily visitors will increase from the current figure of 22,000 to 32,000. This is a pressure that Knutpunkten – which was designed by Ivar Krepp in 1984–1991 – could not handle in its current state, which is why the decision was made to create a new exit and approach at the root of the track’s southern extension. Furthermore, the southern entrances were in a worse condition than the northern ones, which affected the flow of pedestrian traffic. Knutpunkten is currently undergoing a transformation and renovation, yet another task that fell on us.

“The new entrance is in a way a natural result of the long platforms underground. An important aspect of the project is to reinforce Knutpunkten’s connection with the southern part of the city, with the campus and the future H+ area. The new traffic flows, more activity and vibrancy in the area will hopefully contribute to reduced segregation in the town”, says the architect in charge PatrikEkenhill.

In 2013, the Municipality of Helsingborg arranged a competition for architects relating to the new entrance, a pre-qualification with tenders. Tengbom Helsingborg won the tender in collaboration with Tyréns, an urban planning consultancy company. We were general consultants during the entire project phase, with all other consultants working under us.“We designed the building as a sculptural element to stand out in an area where so many people head south every day”, says PatrikEkenhill.

Below is one extract from the competition entry:We regard the area as a transition point between various ways of travel and movement in the city, but also as a transition between different parts and rooms of the city. It will be a dramatic change from today’s dominating and yet anonymous multi-storey car park to an attractive component in the cityscape that contributes to increased activity and pulse.

In other words, the new entrance transformed an anonymous backside of the station into another front entrance. This has also contributed to increased traffic safety, as pedestrians walking to the campus area previously had to cross the bus terminal, which has been avoided with the new flow of traffic. A new pedestrian crossing over Järnvägsgatan, which leads onto Bollebrogatan, also adds to a more direct link to the local Stadsparkenpark and the south district of the city. A further aim is to promote cycling in the city. A total of 450 bicycle spaces have been created between the entrance steps and freely on an open platform. There are also other facilities such as a pump, a repair station and lockers.

In addition to solving many of the problems the city was experiencing, the entrance has become the landmark that we proposed and were hoping for.“Our architectural main idea of a collective roof is based on a concept of creating a sequence between the top and the bottom. The characteristic roof has a neutral and square plan shape, which is carefully modified in each section. The combination of a vaulted bottom and a curved top in the direction of the tracks creates associations with both motion and the softly undulating topography of the City Park”, says PatrikEkenhill.

The sculptural timber roof is on two slate-clad wall plates that seem to grow up from the track area. Simple glass panels have been used as extra protection against the elements. Even the lighting design has been influential to the project, where the primary light source for the roof of the bike rack is indirect and hidden. Two existing emergency stairways were torn down and the shafts transformed into circular drop of daylight onto the platforms, with benches at ground level.

Just like the act of travelling, the new entrance is very much about transitions, both physically and architecturally, as well as metaphorically. Physically, it’s about understanding the flow of traffic and people. Architecturally, we are talking about open encounters – heavy meets light and geometry meeting organic forms. Metaphorically, you might say that the South entrance is a symbol for the transition to a new travel area, ready for the future.“This is fantastic architecture on a small scale. We are incredibly proud that a relatively small project can make such a great impression”, says PatrikEkenhill.
