Flinders Street Station / Zaha Hadid

Posted in Architecture - Infrastructure by * FORMAKERS

zaha hadid along with brisbane-based practice donovan hill have proposed a dramatic folding roof for the flinders street station design competition.

the bold linear form covers the concourse, letting natural ventilation and light to penetrate through, as it weaves in and out across the site.

the scheme respects the existing heritage station by reviving its inherent properties.

key view shafts to the historic structure still remain visible - the proposal is a logical progression for future use.

more than just a train station, the design focuses around a multi-mode transport hub and attractive city destination, creating a distinguished mark on melbourne's skyline.

the urban design integration to the city's hoddle grid and connection with southbank, is achieved through new pedestrian links and a reconfiguration of the surrounding street transport networks.
