As part of the expansion of the Vienna – Bratislava railway line, the Aspern train station was built, which forms a mobility hub for the new Aspern district together with the adjacent underground station. The main access to the island platform is via a pedestrian bridge that connects the train station with the subway station to the south. To the north, the bridge will span the planned expressway and establish a connection to the future Park & Ride facility.
Arriving in Delft is an unforgettable experience. From the outset, Mecanoo’s idea was to design a station that makes it clear to visitors that they have arrived in Delft. The station, in combination with the new city hall, sits atop a new train tunnel built in place of the old concrete viaduct that divided the city in two since 1965. Coming up the escalators, the impressive ceiling with the historic map of Delft unfolds. When you look outside, you see the city and the old station as a contemporary version of Johannes Vermeer’s painting ‘View of Delft’.
The expansion of the Downtown Line (DTL) is part of the government’s sustained efforts to further bolster Singapore’s vaunted MRT system. Efficient, fast and convenient, daily commutes in the city-state are effortless thanks to a growing network of trains and lines. Relying on the experience and expertise of key firms, Singapore has managed to create a vast network of transportation infrastructure – a true corner stone to national development.
The DTL will total 35 stations, with the project separated into multiple phases. The most recent, Phase 3, launched on October 17th 2017, with 16 new stations opening. Like their predecessors, the latest DTL station’s will showcase individuated styles and themes, resonating with the heritage and personality inherent to the specific locations; while also reflecting the local Singaporean communities they primarily serve.
ONG&ONG is honoured to have completed 9 of the recently opened Phase 3 Stations. Each station boasts touches reflecting the cultural heritage of their milieu, including pieces from the Art in Transit initiative, intended to give each stop distinctive character and style.

New building for the “Glauburgstraße” stop on the U5 line, Frankfurt on the Main 2016
The heavily used local train service between Frankfurt city center and the district of Preungesheim is being upgraded to provide barrier-free access. Just/Burgeff Architect’s design for the “Glauburgstrasse” stop on the U5 line emerged from a design-and-build competition organized by VGF, Frankfurt’s public transport company. Informed by the particular urban situation of this stop, an idea developed that goes beyond simply providing a platform and shelter for the waiting passengers.
The Multimodal Interchange project in Vitré comprises the creation of:
– A pedestrian footbridge in Vitré Station, spanning the railway
– An underground car park with 620 spaces, constructed in two phases, and an overhanging pedestrian footbridge, connecting the first footbridge to the “Place de la Victoire” (Victory Square) and thus creating a pedestrian thoroughfare from this square to the Station’s north car park

Spatial organization
The mixed-use complex that was the object of the competition was clearly divided on 4 spatial-functional units: A) North (Bus station), B) South (Hotel-Office-Commercial spaces), C) future metro station and D) Railway station. Introversion was the main organizational principle that was used in conceptualization of the complex due to the lack of adequate views and spatial markers towards which the complex could open up to. Proximity of busy transport hubs (Bus station, Railway station and the Inner city ringroad) which go through the location aspire positioning the main content around inner spatial motives (atrium gardens), distant from unsuitable surrounding.
