White Arkitekter：由White Arkitekter設計的65米長的公共“沙發”使烏普薩拉的Forumtorget廣場重新煥發了活力。該線性戶外座椅旨在提供休息和社交空間，是此次1600平方米公共空間改造的核心點，其目的是通過建立該地區作為聚集場所的既定特徵，吸引更多的遊客到Forumtorget及它周圍的購物區來。

White Arkitekter：Uppsala's Forumtorget square has been revitalised with the creation of a 65 meter long public 'sofa' designed by White Arkitekter. Designed to provide space for rest and social interaction, the linear outdoor seating is the centerpiece of wider, 1600s.qm improvements to the public realm. These have been created by White to attract more visitors to Forumtorget and its surrounding shopping area by building on the area's established character as a gathering place.

烏普薩拉是瑞典第四大城市，擁有15萬人口。該設計是在White參加烏普薩拉市舉辦的2011年設計比賽后，經過7年開發的結果。該項目反映了White包容、以人為中心的設計理念，以及實現對高質量公共領域的承諾。

Uppsala is the fourth largest city in Sweden, with a population of 150,000 people. This design is the result of a seven-year development process following White's successful entry in a 2011 design competition organized by Uppsala Municipality. The project reflects both White's inclusive, people centred approach to design as well as the practice's commitment to high quality public realm.

White的設計由三個元素組成：連續的多層沙發、深色的花崗岩鋪裝以及一個可用於坐、玩和非正式表演的深綠色拋光水磨石製成的表面光滑的圓形平台。這些元素一起為廣場創造了一個有凝聚力、有吸引力的新特徵，也有助於加強城市東西方之間聯繫。

White's design consists of three elements: a continuous multilevel sofa, dark granite paving, and a circular plateau with a smooth surface of deep green polished terrazzo for sitting, playing and informal performances. Together, these elements create a cohesive and attractive new identity for the square that also helps to reinforce East-West connections through the city.

沙發採用灰色玻璃/石英複合材料製成，設計堅固，細節精緻，如扶手、欄杆和黃銅插座，且坐凳兩面都提供了不同高度的多種座位類型，這使得新的座位在開放廣場和商店之間的間隙空間，為廣場的不同地面層之間架起了聯繫的橋樑。

Built using a grey glass/quartz composite, the design of the sofa features sturdy, yet refined detailing such as armrests, railings and sockets made of brass, and is double-sided with a variety of seating types provided at different levels. This enables the new seating to bridge the different ground levels within the square by providing an interstitial space between the open square and the shops.

White在設計之前進行了廣泛的社區諮詢，並在廣場上測試了一個完整的原型，以確保能夠滿足廣泛的包容性座位需求，在進行更開放的互動的同時為人們提供一些隱私空間。根據人體工程學制定不同的座位高度，創建了多種休憩空間包括躺椅、深平台和台階沙發等。各種各樣的靠背風格和黃銅扶手使長凳在廣場上流動的輪廓變得更加栩栩如生。沙發中還有兩組短樓梯，以一種連續的形式為人們提供便捷通道。

White carried out extensive community consultation and tested a full-scale prototype in the square to ensure that a wide range of inclusive seating needs are met, some offering privacy, some more open interaction. Different ergonomic and seat height options include a reclining bench, a deep platform and a step-up sofa. A variety of backrest styles and brass handrails further animate the silhouette of the bench as it flows through the square. The sofa also incorporates two short sets of stairs to provide access through the continuous form.

White的Dsearch研究網絡部使用計算設計工具，對這一重要公共領域的不同尋常的設計概念進行了原型製作和實現。這是通過使用水射流切割機創建的3500個單獨成型的19毫米玻璃石英複合材料台階來實現的，在場外將它們分段組裝到鋼底座上，然後在現場用螺栓連接在一起，並安裝在混凝土基礎上。從使用壽命上來說，其堅固的材料應能使該結構的使用壽命至少達到30年。

White's Dsearch research network used computational design tools to extensively prototype and realise the unusual design concept for this important piece of public realm. This was achieved using water-jet cutters to create 3500 individually contoured, 19mm bench sections of glass quartz composite. Assembled in segments onto a steel substructure off- site, these were then bolted together in situ and mounted on the concrete foundations. Chosen with longevity in mind, the robust materials should enable the structure to have a lifespan of at least 30 years.

晚上，嵌套在沙發內部的照明設施通過磨砂玻璃，發出溫暖的光芒。使用不同的照明方案可產生不同的照明效果，其中一種方案的靈感來自北極光。

At night, the sofa is illuminated from within through frosted glass insets that give a warm glow. Various effects are achieved with the use of several different lighting schemes, including one inspired by the Northern Lights.

“沙發是傳統戶外家具的一個更家常、更受歡迎的形式，通過在Forumtorget創造更多的社交機會來增強社區意識，我們最終達到了增強公共領域，重振烏普薩拉的中心的目的， ”White Arkitekter的古斯塔夫·雅洛夫(Gustav Jarlov)如是說。

“The sofa is a more homely and welcoming version of traditional outdoor furniture that bolsters a sense of community by creating increased opportunities for social interaction at Forumtorget. The result is an enhanced public realm that revitalises the centre of Uppsala,” said Gustav Jarlöv of White Arkitekter.
