OLIN的重新设计的哥伦布圈是基于运动和光的同心环，以引起的圆圈不仅是城市的中心，而且是宇宙的中心的感觉。今天，人们在深夜到深夜的交通枢纽中停下来，相聚并放松身心。喷泉由一系列同心的凸出部分形成，具有层叠的水和射流朝向中心成拱形，以加强圆形设计和纪念碑的首要地位，掩盖交通噪声和调和夏季气候。当关闭时，同心凸缘用作座位，以避免在冬季期间未使用的喷泉的通常无用的特性。定制设计的长椅被扩展以补充公民空间，并且足够宽以允许个人舒适地背靠背地坐。哥伦布圆圈展示了与重新思考交通基础设施相结合的回收社会空间的潜力。重新设计减少了车辆的面积，但交通现在流动更有效率。将交通规划作为交通规划的一部分，并成功地将其与社会需求平衡是一项艰巨的任务，但在哥伦布圈成功解决，可以作为其他城市的典范。

OLIN’s redesign of Columbus Circle is based on concentric rings of movement and light to elicit the feeling that the circle is not only the center of the city, but also the center of the universe. Today, people stop, meet and relax in the hub of a swirl of traffic late into the evening. The fountain is formed by a series of concentric ledges with cascading water and jets arching toward the center to reinforce the circular design and primacy of the monument, mask traffic noise and temper the summer climate. When turned off, the concentric ledges serve as seating to avoid the typically forlorn character of unused fountains during winter months. Custom-designed benches are scaled to complement the civic space and are wide enough to allow individuals to sit comfortably back-to-back. Columbus Circle demonstrates the potential of reclaiming social space in conjunction with rethinking transportation infrastructure. The redesign devotes less area to vehicles, yet traffic now flows more efficiently. Disciplining traffic as part of transportation planning and successfully balancing it with social needs is a difficult task, but one that is successfully addressed at Columbus Circle and can serve as a model for other cities.
