STOCKHOLM CENTRAL STATION DESIGN COMPETITION FOSTER + PARTNERS
A team led by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Marge Arkitekter has been revealed as winners of the competition for the development of Stockholm Central Station in Stockholm. The winning design, put forward by the team which includes LAND Arkitektur, Thornton Tomasetti, Ramboll, Wenanders and TAM Group, will bring several modes of transport together in a single integrated transport hub, while prioritising pedestrian areas and creating a “new mixed-use urban district.” Luke Fox, head of studio, Foster + Partners, said: “As the world’s collective focus shifts to more sustainable ways of living, working and travelling, it is vital that we enhance and redevelop our transport nodes and repair and connect the urban fabric around them.” Located at the heart of the city, Stockholm Central Station caters to more passengers than it was originally designed for with future plans to increase the number of trains coming into the city. The new district, largely built over the existing tracks, will re-link the surrounding streets to create an “active, friendly, and safe public realm that will stitch together the east and west sides of the city, improving passenger connections across Stockholm, without impacting the historic skyline.” Pye Aurell Ehrström from Marge Arkitekter, said: “It is fantastic to be involved in redefining Central Station's role at the heart for Stockholm, while at the same time providing new additions that reference the surrounding streetscape of traditional Klara block architecture, respecting the cultural values of the city.” Planning consultations are scheduled for the project in 2023.
MAPU 5 RESIDENCE, TEL AVIV BAR ORIAN ARCHITECTS
NORTHERN EXTENSION OF METRO LINE 14, PARIS ATELIER ZÜNDEL CRISTEA (AZC)
Design studio Atelier Zündel Cristea’s (AZC) main objective when designing the northern extension of the Metro’s line 14 was to “relieve the saturation of line 13.” Four new stations have been built, at Pont Cardinet, Porte de Clichy, Saint-Ouen, and Mairie de Saint-Ouen, connected by 5.8 km of tunnel tracks. The extension serves some 96,000 additional inhabitants in the districts of Clichy-Batignolles and the inner suburban towns of Clichy and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine. The depth needed for the platforms required that they be very thickly moulded, to 1.5 metres. Supplying the materials to this depth was difficult, said the architects, and the installation of certain elements – such as installing wall tiles – required ‘cathedral-style’ scaffolding. The building’s structure relies on vertically moulded walls, stabilised by horizontal stays and slabs. The walls were poured first, after which the ground was dug out to create a volume 30 metres high, 130 metres long and 22 metres wide. The depth influenced the positioning of the stairwells, with the main spaces arranged and designed based on the principles of “simplicity and robustness,” said AZC.
Bar Orian recently unveiled its latest project, ‘Mapu 5’, a new-build residential property located in the heart of Tel Aviv’s White City. Unusual both in size and shape, it is three times larger than a typical plot in the district, and positioned so that the balconies benefit from sea views. The home is built over five stories atop a ground floor garden apartment, with an upper floor that steps back from the front. According to the architects, the facade is a “contemporary interpretation that merges the ‘zeitgeist’ balconies of the early 1920s and a dichotomous concept of a sunken or projected balcony, blurring the relationships between the exterior and interior of each residence.” The result is a “more sculptured, asymmetrical form which frames landscapes.” Humid weather conditions required framings to be screwed, rather than welded, and window sills were concealed in plaster. HPL boards and aluminium systems were used for most facade surfaces.
