Palma’s Intermodal Station was built in 2007 in Plaza de España, site of the existing railway station. The main access to the Intermodal Station was by stairs that went down uncovered toward the center of the station, with the inconvenience of eventual flooding – due to its funnel condition to the underground infrastructure -, creating discomfort for passengers on sunny days or rain and the continuous repairs of the escalators to be suffering the inclemencies of time.
The new €37.5m (£27.6m) Transfer Terminal at Arnhem Central Station in the Netherlands has now completed.
The station is the result of an ambitious 20-year project – masterplanned by UNStudio – to redevelop the wider station area; the largest post-war development in Arnhem. Backed by the Dutch government, this transfer hub rewrites the rulebook on train stations and is the most complex of its type in Europe. The station will become the new ‘front door’ of the city, embracing the spirit of travel, and is expected to establish Arnhem as an important node between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The new terminal houses commercial areas, and a conference centre and provides links to the nearby office plaza, city centre, underground parking garage and the Park Sonsbeek. The area around the station will become a place in of itself, with 160,000m2 of offices, shops and a cinema complex.
You can wander through the Dutch polder landscape while at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The landscape was the main source of inspiration behind the new Holland Boulevard, an international departures hall designed by NEXT architects and that now comprises various typical Dutch-inspired sitting rooms. These rooms are separated by low walls; together, they form the horizon of this vast space of 5,000 m2. Each room has its own atmosphere and ambiance and so the Holland Boulevard takes visitors on a real voyage of discovery.

Confronting An Imposing Station
The future station of the Grand Paris Express (GPE) is located along the South wall of the RER B infrastructure, on the intermodal hub La Plaine – Stade de France. Its construction questions the relationship between the new station and the pre-existing station, the latter illustrating an architecture deeply marked by a hyperstucturalist reading of the transport object.
Instead of competing with this reading, the project for the new GPE station seeks to construct an extruding shape of glass and concrete with the most neutral reading possible. Thus, the new building is visible and discreet at the same time, drawing its strength from an abstract geometry and a sleek outer skin.
It is not a structural machine but an object that serves the town, with multiple uses for the ground floor, the lower ground floor and the usable roof space.
The Clichy-Montfermeil station and its protrusion are located on the Main Square of the Urban Renewal Plan being carried out in the urban community since 2004.
The idea was to work on the symbolism of an urban meeting place, a space where cultural diversity could be expressed and exchanges between cultures could take place. The work on the public space and the interior of the station seeks to bring the specificity of the neighbourhood and the imaginary of the Grand Paris metropolis together.
The inspiration for the colourful petals with organic geometric shapes is drawn from the Bois de Bondy park and the market that is held twice a week on the square with its colourful fabrics on display.
The protrusion of the station is covered by a roof which is more than just a simple cover for the station as it becomes an urban pergola. It is an urban reference point and the symbolic link between the market and the transport infrastructure.
Duomo Station is a stop in Naples’ underground Linea 1 and is situated in one of the most well-travelled areas of the city – Piazza Nicola Amore, an historic neapolitan square at the junction of Via Duomo and Corso Umberto I – in terms of residents and tourists. Excavation works for the station have brought to light the foundations of a temple dating back to the I century b.C, as well as several archeological finds of great interest.
The archeological find is crucial to the scheme of the station and the intervention aims to turn the temple into a unique museum area.

It’s a large-scale renovation work of the monorail station. Because it’s a tourist facility and can’t be closed, we did construction work leaving only the existing platform. Planned with one structure to adapt to the existing law in the extension part. The main structure is steel frames, the secondary structure is wood, creating a rustic atmosphere even in large spaces. In an open space with a roof, it’s possible to cope with sudden climate change on the Japan Sea side such as wind and rain and snow.
In 2014 our project was chosen through an international open call held by Strelka KB upon request of Moscomarchitecture.
The concept is site specific and based on two main subjects: Sun light, its architectural comprehension and a characteristic slope roof of a summer cottage “dacha”. Name of the site inspired the Sun motif and the slope roof motif came from the history of the area, that in 1920s and 30s was one of the first places designated for workers settlements.
Pioneer Village station straddles the border of York Region, beneath the intersection of Steeles Avenue West and Northwest Gate, anchoring a corner of York University Campus. The station will serve as an integrated regional transport hub serving up to 20,000 subway passenger trips daily, providing 1,881 commuter parking spaces and two separate regional bus terminals. The location is otherwise underdeveloped and it is intended that the station entrances and bus terminals will create a public focal point that will serve the future development of the surrounding area, beginning with Steeles Avenue West.

RIVAS-FUTURA underground station [METRO de MADRID] Rivas Vaciamadrid, Madrid (Spain)
The building´s architecture is a consequence of the surrounding context and its brief, which includes a new underground station, the public spaces to access the station and two parking areas. Located between two operating underground stations, the building process was determined by the aim of continuing with the train services during the works.
