Witteveen+Bos, OKRA, and ZJA have recently won the integral design for the Jaarbeursplein Utrecht and the underground parking. Their vision focuses on the realization of the perfect parking concept, with a comfortable, lively, and socially safe city square on top of it. Forming the face of the new Utrecht, their vital and highly dynamic proposal becomes a place where inhabitants and visitors can have a taste of the new city. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Characteristic for the new Jaarbeursplein is a clever arrangement of the substantial flows of passengers; with strong relations between square space and the surrounding real estate; a square with a solid anchoring in the city, with logical connections between ground level, the world underground and the upper level of the public transport terminal.
