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.
