Arnhem Central Station, Arnhem, Netherlands. Architect: UNStudio, 2014. Roof structure with integrated seating on platform.
Arnhem Central Station is at the centre of many people’s local and long-distance journeys. Every weekday, around 55,000 travellers move through the station, where six modes of transport converge. The Public Transport Terminal handles the bulk of this interchange. The new terminal makes use of a unique freeform concrete shape to provide passengers with a smooth transition between different modes of transport. Gently inclined surfaces and carefully designed lighting guide pedestrians intuitively through the building. By building above and below ground, room was created for offices, shops, homes, a new station hall, a railway platform and underpass, a car tunnel, bicycle storage and a large parking garage.
