布赖顿霍夫市政府和Kings Education共同发起了全国设计竞赛，旨在为The Level Park设计一座具有吸引力的入口大门，吸引游客进入公园南端。竞赛最终由Alter & Company获得，他们为公园打造了一道名为“偶然事件”的拱门。

Zize developers, Brighton Hove City Council and Kings Education announced that Alter & Company were the winners of the level park national arts commission. The project brief was a National Design competition run by Brighton Hove City Council and Kings Education. The competition was organised to commission an attractive archway suitable for pedestrian access to the south end of The Level Park.

公园入口处标志性的榆树林带来了阴凉而清切的氛围，太阳从树叶中投下点点光斑。这样的场景深刻地影响了设计团队的方案：一道有机的拱门从公园的既有环境中生长出来，与悬垂的树木的轮廓相映成趣。 这是一个供人们停留的地方，游客们可以从这里观察到周围的环境。

The characteristic elm trees that surround the park and the entrance provide shade and an intimate dappled atmosphere. Their presence deeply informed the design of our proposal, the ‘happenstance archway’. The idea of reflecting the shape of the overhanging trees at the entrance is that of an organic archway growing out from the existing elements of the park. It is a place to pause and from which you can observe your surroundings.

走近拱门时，不锈钢板上的穿孔构成了与公园和布莱顿相关的重要历史人物的名字和面孔，使公园的现在与未来相连。与此同时，这些穿孔也使斑驳的光线得以穿过，利用光影的互动为拱门赋予一种诱人的品质，同时营造出强烈的场所感和身份特征。

As you look closer the metal perforations make up names and faces of historical figures that have importance to the level and Brighton, enabling two time periods to exist simultaneously; the present and past. The perforations in the metal let dappled light in and an elusive play between light and shadows create an alluring quality with a strong sense of place and identity.
