扎哈·哈迪德建筑事务所 (ZHA) 将 Eleftheria 广场设计为城市的主要聚集空间，创造了新的联系，旨在团结分裂的首都。尼科西亚坚固的威尼斯防御工事将旧城区与其现代地区隔开，而城市的“绿线”又将首都划分为两个不同的区域。

Establishing Eleftheria Square as thecity’s primary gathering space, Zaha Hadid Architects’ (ZHA) design creates newconnections intended to unite a divided capital. Nicosia’s massive Venetianfortifications separate the old city from its modern districts, while thecity’s ‘Green Line’ divides the capital into two disparate communities.

Eleftheria 广场位于尼科西亚市中心附近，毗邻威尼斯城墙和环绕城市的干涸护城河。这些坚固的防御城墙建于中世纪，并在 16 世纪由威尼斯人大规模重建，它界定了首都最古老部分的边界，将古城与城墙外的新区隔开。

Located near the centre of Nicosia,Eleftheria Square is adjacent to the Venetian Walls and the dry moat thatencircles the city. Constructed in the Middle Ages and extensively rebuilt bythe Venetians in the 16th century, these substantial defensive walls define theboundary of the oldest part of the capital, dividing the ancient city from thenew districts outside the walls.

扎哈·哈迪德建筑事务所将 Eleftheira 广场设想为一个更大的城市规划的初始阶段，该规划被寄希望于成为首都统一的催化剂。设计确保了威尼斯城墙的一览无余，并将这些防御城墙确立为尼科西亚的一部分，同时也为公众开放了干涸的护城河，以创造一个环绕城市的轨道公园。

ZHA envisioned Eleftheira Square as theinitial phase of a much larger urban plan that could be a catalyst for thereunification of the capital. The design ensures unobstructed views of theVenetian Walls, establishing these fortifications as an integral part ofNicosia’s identity, while also opening the dry moat for public use to create anorbital park that surrounds the city.

扎哈·哈迪德建筑事务所用新的市政广场、花园和棕榈树长廊改造以前无法进入的护城河区域，使其成为城市周围的“绿化带”。设计提议将护城河内的这些新公共空间延伸至古城墙并环绕尼科西亚，重新连接这个分裂的首都。

Transforming previously inaccessible areasof the moat with new civic plazas, gardens and palm[1]linedpromenades, the moat can become a ‘green belt’ around the city. ZHA’s design proposesthese new public spaces within the moat are extended to follow the ancient citywalls and encircle Nicosia, reconnecting communities of this divided capital.

Eleftheria 广场的设计抬高了护城河的地形，创造了一座与周围街景相接的上层桥梁，与城市的城市肌理建立了直接的联系，并在首都的中心了确立了一个新的公共广场。护城河被改造成城市公园，通过对古代防御城墙的不规则形状进行三角剖析以建立“强度”点，为护城河打造了新的流体几何形状，并确定了新公园内座椅、花坛和水景的位置。

The Eleftheria Square design elevates thetopography of the moat to create an upper level bridge that meets thesurrounding streetscape, establishing direct connections with the city’s urbanfabric and defining a new public square in the heart of the capital.Transformed into an urban park, the moat’s fluid geometries have been createdthrough the process of triangulating the irregular forms of the ancientfortifications to establish points of ‘intensity’ that define seating,flowerbeds or water features within the new park.

护城河的花岗岩铺装昭示了场地永恒的坚固性，而花岗岩板之间的开放缝隙形成被动的雨水排水系统，使护城河内种植的新树木能够自然地平衡地下水位并减少对中世纪城墙地基的侵蚀。

The moat’s granite paving conveys atimeless solidity, while open joints between the granite slabs create a passiverainwater drainage system that allows the new trees planted within the moat tonaturally balance groundwater levels and reduce erosion of the medieval walls’foundations.

作为尼科西亚最大的市民广场，Eleftheira 广场可用于举办节日和公共活动；它的上层桥梁和支撑柱是用混凝土制成的，雕塑式的外观确保了其在地震区的结构完整性，每根柱子的底部都经过精心设计，充当可供人们小憩的座位。

As the largest civic plaza in Nicosia, EleftheiraSquare has been designed to host festivals and public events; its upper levelbridge and supporting columns are crafted in concrete, their sculptural formsensure structural integrity in this seismic region and the base of each columnmorphs into seating.

广场的改造涉及大规模的的考古发掘以及修复和保护历史悠久的威尼斯城墙的工程。重建项目还包括广场内的两家咖啡馆和位于 Omirou 大道的带入口坡道的新地下停车场。广场上楼梯和电梯直接与Solomos广场的巴士总站相连。

The renovation of the square involvedextensive archaeological excavations together with works to repair and protectthe historic Venetian Walls. The redevelopment also includes two cafes withinthe square and the new underground parking lot with access ramp on OmirouAvenue. Stairs and elevators directly connect with the bus terminal in SolomosSquare.

扎哈·哈迪德建筑事务所对 Eleftheria 广场的改造将尼科西亚丰富的历史与对未来坚定不移的乐观态度融合在一起。这座广场连接了威尼斯城墙和护城河，成为通往旧城区的重要门户，其地下停车场将汽车从古城的街道上移走，进一步促进步行道的使用，强化了这个历史街区的城市领域部分，同时还创造了新的公共花园和广场，受到市民和游客的喜爱。

ZHA’s transformation of Eleftheria Squareweaves together Nicosia’s rich history with an unwavering optimism for thefuture. Bridging the Venetian Wall and moat, the square becomes an importantgateway to the old city, its underground parking removing cars from the ancientcity’s streets to enable further pedestrianisation that enhances the urbanrealm of this historic district while also creating new public gardens andplazas to be enjoyed by residents and visitors to the city.
