格罗宁根论坛（Forum Groningen）是一个新型的公共便利设施，但它并不是图书馆或者博物馆，也不是电影院。不同场所之间的传统界线在这个空间里被简单地消除了。不同主题的信息以一种跨媒介的方式被展现出来。论坛的设计充分展现了协同增效的理念，将各种类型的空间整合在一个易于理解的体量之中。经过谨慎考量的横截面为建筑物赋予了多面的外观，使其在场地中成为显著的存在。

Forum Groningen is a new-style public amenity. It is neither a library, nor a museum. Nor is it a cinema. Here in this space the traditional boundaries between these institutions are simply eliminated. The information is provided thematically, in a way that transcends several media. The desire for synergy is apparent in the design, which combines the various components in one easy-to-read volume. Deliberate cross-sections add to the buildings versatile appearance, grounding it in its place.

建筑物拥有一个独特的中庭，如同它跳动的心脏。中庭空间的一系列“触角”在水平方向上延伸，将所有的功能空间连接起来，从而促进了不同观点的碰撞以及知识与创意上的交流。从某种意义上说，格罗宁根论坛就像是一个建筑版的“维基百科”。它被构思为一个可以无限探索的搜索引擎，使用它的人会在其中发现比想象中更多的东西。

The Forum’s unique central space and beating heart consists of an atrium with horizontal “tentacles”. This atrium is a spatial interface linking all of the buildings amenities, thereby enhancing the confrontation of opinions and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. In a sense, the Forum is like the built version of Wikipedia. It is conceived like a search engine. You can endlessly browse the building. Those who do so can expect to find more than they bargained for.

由中庭连接的空间仿佛一系列“堆叠”而成的广场。这些广场面向所有人开放，同时提供了通往不同活动的路径。

The spaces that are connected by the atrium are similar to stacked squares. These squares are open to everyone and provide access to the various activities.

中庭的开放性通过其两侧的巨大窗户而凸显出来。除了引入城市的壮丽风景，它们还可以让建筑外面的人感受到建筑中发生的事。交错的室内空间带来了不断变化的城市视野，屋顶平台更是将城市的风景尽收眼底。人们可以在屋顶上清晰地看到这些堆叠的广场是如何成为格罗宁根城市中心独特布局的延伸，同时与Vismarkt、Grote Markt和Nieuwe Markt融合为一个开放空间网络。

The Forum’s openness is underscored by the large windows on either side of the atrium. In addition to offering fantastic views of the city, they also offer a glimpse of what’s going on inside the building to the outside world.The staggered interior offers ever-changing perspectives of the surrounding city, culminating in a roof terrace with an astonishing panoramic view. From the roof terrace you can really see how the Forum’s stacked squares are an extension of the characteristic layout of Groningens city centre. Vismarkt. Grote Markt, Nieuwe Markt and Forum form one network of open spaces.As a result, the atrium becomes the animated logo of Forum Groningens vibrant character.
