历史沿革 | The Past

自由广场所在的古老海滩作为历史的舞台承载着丰富的记忆，这片海滩舞台曾是当地最重要的文化场所，用于举办文化庆典和政治会议等重大活动。岁月流逝，海滩舞台也随之老去，因结构老化而正在逐年下沉。

The old beach stage, once stood where the freedom square is now, hosted many historical events and personalities. The beach stage was the most prominent and largest venue for cultural programs and political conventions in the region. The stage though was just a reminiscence of the past with its structure sinking & dilapidating due to ageing.

可惜的是，这片空间没有突出的地标与建筑来唤起人们对历史的共鸣。因此，建筑师提出了以“自由广场”为核心的新方案，以纪念在这里上演的为民族自由与解放而进行的英勇斗争和历史运动。

Unfortunately, this stretch of space had no landmarks or built space evoking a sense of the historical significance of the place, and hence the“Freedom Square” commemorates the heroic fight and historic movements for freedom and liberation of our nation that was staged here.

整体性 | Wholeness

项目提出了一个综合性的解决方案，建筑师从公共生活与历史要素等方面出发，满足游客和市民的多样需求，旨在将整片海滩打造为一个激活城市空间的节点。

This project was conceptualized as an integrated solution, which can revitalize the entire stretch of beach as a nodal point from the perspective of public life as well as historical and leisure travellers and the citizens themselves.

现有的海滩舞台被精心雕琢成一个多功能空间，具有象征性的纪念碑高耸在岸边，为表演提供了积极的舞台。朝南的大型主舞台专为重大政治活动而设计，北侧舞台则用于举办文化互动。从中央放射展开的步行道作为时光画廊展示了卡利卡特的历史，通过导览板上说明文字向游客呈现。通道中设置的绿色房间承载了表演区的主要功能。墙壁上，以“食盐进军”这一历史事件为主题的抽象雕塑致敬了历史，展示出对城市根源的纪念。

The existing stage is carefully carved to be a multifunctional space, diverging the performance stages with a symbolic spine into the sea creating positive spaces. The large main stage facing south is designed for political events and large functions. The North stage is for cultural events and the central walk radiating from the space is designed as a reminiscence of Calicut’s history with a walking gallery, with historical narratives engraved on curated plates. Green rooms act as an asset for the successful functioning of the performance areas. Abstract wall sculptures depicting the historic Salt Satyagraha arouses historical memories and point towards the invisible roots of our city.

多功能性 | Versatility

方案将卡利卡特的文化多样性融入设计，自由广场可适应不同的时间与季节，并服务于不同人群，不仅能够满足各种规模的政治和文化活动的需求，也可以灵活地作为聚会场所、拍照圣地或城市健身房。

The cultural versatility of Calicut has been thoughtfully incorporated into the design. Freedom square itself adults to seasons, time, function & users. The space is equally open to political and cultural events of various scales. It also acts as a meeting place, striking photo destination, an urban gym and more.

当地采购的天然材料赋予广场更多魅力。在严酷的滨海天气中，材料将优雅地老化，呈现出饱经沧桑的质朴魅力。自由广场、灯塔与文化海滩促进了人们在历史遗产中的步行体验，旨在激发保护意识，邀请公众加入历史遗迹的整体保护计划。

Locally sourced natural materials add a contextual charm. They bring in an unaffected rustic charm and withstands the harsh sea weather, ageing gracefully. The freedom square along with the lighthouse and cultural beach welcomes heritage walks that will raise historical awareness and invites and integrates people to support the preservation and conservation of historical monuments.

漫步在巨石耸立的人行道上，人们将沉入对内心世界的探索，对公民身份的认同感与对公共活动的积极性也将油然而生。穿过巨石的缥缈体验带来超越视觉的感官体验，或许此刻只有语言才能捕捉。随着蓝灰色的海岸出现在眼前，空气中的咸味也越发浓郁，海浪轻柔的音乐调动着感官，不断拍打着深处的记忆。视野逐渐开阔，浩瀚无垠的大海将人们包围，幸福的瞬间在此诞生，成为地球上的永恒一瞥。

The walkway through these monoliths has possibilities of deep personal inner awakenings as well as the awakening of civic and public identity. One can only try to capture in words the ethereal feeling of walking through the monoliths inviting us to see beyond what is visible. As one walks glimpses of the blue-grey emerge, the saltiness of air intensifies, gentle music of waves rolling as though from one’s own forgotten memory awakens the senses and then the vast, vast openness of sea envelopes your being completely. At such blissful moments, the space can even act as a place on this earth offering a tiny glimpse of eternity.

作为更新改造的标杆，自由广场为城市注入了源源不断的爱、尊重、自豪与活力，描绘出更美好的生活。

Freedom square is a standing testimony of the endless potential of architecture and urban inserts, in inspiring a better life filled with love, respect and pride.
