Transportation hubs in any city might hardly be visible and yet play an increasingly crucial part in urban life. ZOA realized the importance and the artistic possibilities of a buzzing station along the creative process, therefore contributed to Spooraarchitect’s latest competition-winning architectural proposal for the Budapest Development Centre (BFK) and the National Infrastructure Development Company (NIF), namely, the third new railway stop on the Southern Circular Railroad in Budapest.
The new Népliget Railway Station had to find its place between Népliget (or People’s Park) and the high-traffic downtown and will become one of the most important transportation hubs of the city.
The primary goal was to provide a fast transfer option between suburban train lines, coaches, the M3 subway and the Liszt Ferenc International Airport in the future.
