"跷跷板"作为登海尔德市的全新地标，将大海和城市重新链接起来。

登海尔德市坐落于荷兰最北点，同时也是国家主要的海军基地所在地。城市独特的地理位置和历史使它成为远眺马尔斯水道、北海及瓦登海的主要观察点。MVRDV的方案被独立组织Zeedtad选中，此次国际竞赛为Zeestad与登海尔德市政合作举办，旨在为这座城市打造一个全新的地标，同时将过去由于堤坝加固而逐渐分离的城市与大海重新链接起来。

Den Helder is located on the northernmost point of Holland and is home to the country’s main naval base. The city’s unique locationand heritage have made it a viewing point for the Marsdiep, North and Wadden Sea. MVRDV were selected as winners by Zeestad,  an independent organisation in partnershipwith the municipality of Den Helder in the international competition to createa new symbol for the city to help it develop a sense of identity, and establisha renewed connection between the city and the sea which became moredisconnected after a recent reinforcement of the dike.

这个为登海尔德市设计的“跷跷板”将是一个极具纪念意义的公共艺术装置，它不仅映射了当地的环境和历史背景，同时也具象地体现出大海无穷的变换和活力,” MVRDV联合创始人Jacob van Rijs说道，“装置既尊重了现存的堤坝，也提供当地居民及游客一个全新的角度去感受大海及这座城市。”

通过在堤坝之上创造一个观景台，由此将陆地和水域相连接。

“The Seasaw for Den Helder is a memorable, undulatingpublic art installation which responds to its context and history, whilstliterally representing the dynamics of the sea in its infinite movement,” saysJacob van Rijs, co-founder, MVRDV. “The installation respects the existing dikewhilst allowing visitors and inhabitants to experience both city and sea from awhole new perspective.”

设计针对登海尔德市目前缺乏一个极具标识性的地标而给出创新的方案。这座小镇的绝佳防洪系统堤坝从沙丘一直延伸到海港从而阻挡了观海的视线。而“跷跷板”则在陆地和水域间创造出一个堤坝之上的全新观景台，并重新连接起陆地和大海。由此登海尔德与大海悠久的历史关系又被重新建立起来。全新的装置象征着堤坝及周边社区的更新和复兴，也完美契合登海尔德的自身特色：坚毅且极具活力和创新。

造访者可以在此公共艺术装置内任意方向漫步，从一个全新的视角来体验大海及这座城市。

The design responds to the current lack of adistinguishable symbol for Den Helder. A town with a remarkable flood defencesystem, a dike running from the dunes to the harbour blocks sea views. Seasawmakes a new connection between land and water by creating a viewing platform onthe dike, and by the sea. In this way, a relationship between Den Helder andthe sea is formed.  This new installationsignals the start of renewal and rediscovery of the dike and its surroundingswith a new landmark that matches the identity of Den Helder: tough andenergetic.

除了“跷跷板”设计，一段景色优美的5公里长的步行及自行车道将环绕堤坝。波浪起伏的步道不仅激活了海岸空间，同时引导人群走上堤坝高处并眺望另一侧风光。在这些道路的交汇处，“跷跷板”以无限形态出现，作为一个眺望城市和大海的绝佳观景台。

一个5km长的人行及自行车道围绕堤坝，也作为城市向海域的链接.

A 5-km walking, cycling and hiking route is also introduced across the dike connecting the city to the sea

Inaddition to the design of Seasaw, a scenic 5-km walking, cycling and hikingroute is introduced across the dike to connect it better to both the city andsea. Activating the seafront, this weaving pathwayinvites visitors and resident to climb the dike and take a look at the otherside. At the junction of these routes, Seasaw is added in the form of an infinite loop that serves as a viewing platform towards the city and sea.
