Stazione di Bologna Centrale
BOLOGNA STATION - description
A
long, luminous, geometric box flies over Bologna and is the new high-speed
station intended to give continuity to the horizontal nature of this particular
city's horizontal architecture. The Bologna Central Station is the winning
project for the design competition launched in 2008 by RFI - Rete Ferroviaria
Italiana. The project was developed by Andrea Maffei Architects with Arata
Isozaki & Associates.
The
morphology of the city around the existing station and the numerous facilities
that have been proposed for the new design are part of a grander scheme to
re-stitch the urban fabric along a division, between the old town to the
south and the northern industrial areas of the Bolognina, that has defined the
city for decades. The new concept for Bologna means to create a dialogue
between the medieval and modern fabrics, yet still allow the architecture to be
autonomous.
The
project hovers horizontally over the axis of the railway lines. To avoid a monolithic
and invasive intervention, the building seems to create a dialogue between the
surrounding architecture via differing degrees of transparency and
opening. The competition asked for a structure that could incorporate
activities well beyond those of a simple train station, thus the program
was expanded to include commercial areas, a sports facility, restaurants, etc.
The new station restructures this particular area of Bologna; creating a new
hub of local activity, and not just a site in constant flux.
