TITAN设计的新装置的灵感来自建筑师Mathurin Crucy建立的形式和平衡之间的关系，他在18世纪末设计了广场和剧院。这个临时性的结构以旱冰场为特色，适应了地面的不规则性，并利用其自然坡度，使广场重新具有中心感，并开放给人们自由滑行的时间。主体结构的直径为38米，由预制的白色混凝土制成，而溜冰场的跑道是现浇的白色混凝土。
The new installation designed by TITAN is inspired by the relationship between form and balance established by architect Mathurin Crucy, who designed both the square and the theater in the late 18th century. Featuring a roller skating rink, this temporary structure has been adapted to the irregularities of the ground and plays with its natural slope, giving the square a renewed sense of centrality, and opening it up to hours of fancy-free skating. Measuring 38m in diameter, the main structure is made of prefabricated white concrete, while the rink track is poured-in-place white concrete.
溜冰者和运动员都可以在溜冰场内的轨道上见面，这为近年来卷土重来的一种活泼和充满活力的运动提供了机会。滚筒德比。观众可以坐在剧院的台阶上–方便地变成看台–观看一场露天比赛。
Amblers and athletes alike can meet on the track inside the rink, which offers an opportunity to honour a lively and effervescent sport that has made a comeback in recent years: Roller derby. Spectators can sit on the steps of the theatre – conveniently turned into bleachers – for an open-air match.
公众也可以坐在装置的边缘，那里的长椅邀请大家在这个新的光线下思考和发现格拉斯林广场。这个概念探索了历史结构的平衡比例、不同的观点和城市的社会动态之间的关系，为居民和节日游客提供了一个新的开放式公共空间。
The public can also sit at the edge of the installation, where benches invite everyone to contemplate and discover Place Graslin in this new light. The concept explores the relationship between the balanced proportions of the historic fabric, the divergent views, and the city’s social dynamics, providing inhabitants and festival visitors with a new open public space.
