埃斯比约博物馆（Musikhuset Esbjerg）和埃斯比约艺术博物馆（Esbjerg Kunstmuseum）有一个新的充满活力的前院，鼓励社区和聚集在一个仙女池周围。新的Henning G. Kruses Plads广场由BIG景观公司设计，以庆祝该市与海洋的关系，其特点是埃斯比约的海洋历史和Henning G. Kruse的生活。

Musikhuset Esbjerg and Esbjerg Kunstmuseum have a new lively forecourt that encourages community and gathering around a cymatic pool. The new Henning G. Kruses Plads square is designed by BIG Landscape to celebrate the city’s relationship with the sea, characterized by both Esbjerg’s maritime history and Henning G. Kruse’s life.

埃斯比约靠近大海的地理位置决定了这个城市的历史和发展，这始于1874年埃斯比约港口的开放。今天，埃斯比约是丹麦的第五大城市，也是北海许多绿色能源项目的门户。多年来，该市投资了大量的文化产品，其中Henning G. Kruses Plads是最新的例子。由BIG景观公司为Henning G. Kruses基金会设计的Plads被捐赠给Musikhuset和Esbjerg人民。

Esbjerg’s location near the sea has shaped the city’s history and its development, which began when the port of Esbjerg opened for navigation in 1874. Today, Esbjerg is Denmark’s fifth-largest city and gateway to many green energy projects in the North Sea. Over the years, the city has invested in a wealth of cultural offerings, of which Henning G. Kruses Plads is the latest example. Designed by BIG Landscape for the Henning G. Kruses Foundation the Plads was donated to Musikhuset and the people of Esbjerg.

在尊重乌特松最初的Musikhus的基础上，该广场被设计为现有建筑的延伸。从内部门厅延伸到Havnegade海滨，支柱与外面的白桦林一起生长，创造了一个从内部到外部的平滑过渡。Musikhuset的前院现在已经变成了一个白桦林，中心有一个ymatic水池，邀请Musikhuset的客人和路人在这里聚集和享受。

With respect to Utzon’s original Musikhus, the square is designed as an extension of the existing architecture. Extending from the interior foyer to Havnegade waterfront the pillars grow together with the birch forest outside and create a smooth transition from inside to outside the Musikhus. Musikhuset’s forecourt has now been transformed into a birch forest with a cymatic pool at the center, inviting Musikhuset’s guests and passers-by to gather and enjoy the area.

广场向城市与海洋的密切关系致敬。桦树 “森林 “中一个直径为10米的圆形盆地，通过建筑内舞台的音乐振动，或通过预先编程的振动，在水面上形成图案，使水不断运动。盆地内的水是对大海的参考，也是对Kruses在世界各地工作的致敬。

The square honors the city’s close ties to the sea. A 10-meter diameter round basin in the birch ‘forest’ creates patterns in the water surface through the vibrations of the music from the stages inside the building, or via pre-programmed vibrations, keeping the water constantly in motion. The water within the basin is a reference to the sea and a tribute to Kruses’ work around the world.

这个场地汇集了埃斯比约的老城中心和音乐厅周围的绿色城市公园，种植了55棵无花粉的桦树，这是一种特别坚固的木材。所有的树都在4-5米的高度上，这样游客就可以清楚地看到Musikhuset和Kunstmuseet。它们被种植在一个网格系统中，与水池周围的广场线条一致，并尊重Musikhuset的内部柱状结构。由于广场的坡度，现在也将为轮椅使用者提供通往主入口的无水平通道。

The site, which brings together Esbjerg’s old town center and the green city park around the music house, is planted with 55 pollen-free Betula Pendula Birch, which is a particularly robust type of wood. All the trees are stemmed at a height of 4-5 meters, so that visitors have a clear view of Musikhuset and Kunstmuseet. They are planted in a grid system, which aligns with the lines of the square around the pool and respects Musikhuset’s inner column structure. With the slope of the square, there will now also be level-free access to the main entrance for wheelchair users.
