![]() Photograph by Traian Cimpeanu It is a huge development, of which only the corner building with the Amber Entrance has yet been completed. This entrance will be the only part of the Emporia shopping centre that remains visible(明显的) when the development is completely built out. The idea of lining the streets with mixed-use buildings demanded a strong form that could attract visitors from Station Square to come in and shop. A sequence(序列) of vaults(拱顶) from a previous competition proposal(提议), along with a memory from the Pantheon, reemerged(再度出现) in a bronze-ochre tone(语气). Double-bent glass encloses(围绕) the diagonal(对角线) slit(裂缝) that cuts through the building. Here the weather of the Öresund Strait, its fast-moving clouds chasing(追逐) glimpses(一瞥) of sun, becomes present and tangible(有形的). ![]() The diagonal entrance from Hyllie Station Square leads deep into the block. Inside, retail is organised around a three-storey figure eight. Shops are grouped together around boldly(大胆地) coloured atriums(中庭), each with a different theme. On the north side of the complex, a ramp(斜坡) leads into a rainbow-coloured parking garage (for 2500 cars) with direct access to the figure eight. To the east is a surface parking lot (for 500) right outside the supermarket. ![]() The rooftop(屋顶上的) park is designed as a bit of cultivated(耕种的) nature. Its vegetation(植被) (sedum(景天属植物), prairie grass, and trees) and its sun-facing, wind-sheltered patios(露台) are accessible(易接近的) from both inside and outside the building. The hills that provide protection from the wind are actually hiding mechanical(机械的) rooms. In the future the roof will be developed with outdoor dining and a spa facility(设施)—like amusement parks, shopping centres need to offer new attractions(吸引) at regular intervals. ![]() Emporia can expand(扩张) upward and to the west, but not in any of the other directions. The freestanding(独立式的) residential buildings facing Boulevarden have yet to be built, as do those that will stand atop(在…的顶上) the podium(乐队指挥台) along Stationsgatan on the south side. ![]() Emporia's interior(内部) challenges established(确定的) shopping centre conventions(大会). Its bold colours and bent sight lines break with the norm(规范), as do the project's size and ambition(野心)—which have made it possible to do custom designs for everything from ceilings, floors, and storefronts(店面) to signage(引导标示), ropes of hanging plants, furniture, and cast glass door handles. Our motto has been "no intermediate(中间的) scale(规模)" — because that is the realm(领域) of the products on display. Large-scale(大规模的) patterns and intricate(复杂的) details characterise(刻划…的性格) the interior. The terrazzo(水磨石) floor is typical(典型的) of this approach(方法), with its oversized triangular(三角的) joint(共同的) pattern, its gradual(逐渐的) shift(移动) from white to graphite(用石墨涂) in seven steps, and its flashing inclusions(包含) of coloured mirror glass. The design has been wrought(锻造的) with extraordinary attention to detail, down to the leather-wrapped handrails(扶手) and the colour of the stitching(缝合) on the built-in(嵌入的) seating. Emporia also includes a quantity of art seldom seen in a commercial environment. A lighting installation(安装) (ninety-nine bollards(系船柱)) by Petteri Nisunen and Tommi Grönlund lifts the Amber Entrance, bronze(青铜色的) sculptures by Joep van Lieshout and a glass art piece (4 x 81 m) by Silja Rantanen adorn(装饰) the Sea Entrance, and a line painting on film at an extremely outsized format (20 x 114 m) by Per Mårtensson clads(在金属外覆以另一种金属) the façade of the parking garage. On the interior is a series of photos by Signe Maria Andersen.
