Train Station in Bucharest
The idea of this project was born at the meeting point
of two discoveries; on the one hand, the abandoned industrial sites that still
occupy great areas of Bucharest, forming barriers inside the city and
encouraging unhealthy environments, and on the other, a proposal made by the
Bucharest City Hall, to build a train station terminal on such a site.In the context
of all investments being private, and for private use, the project tries to offer
the alternative of a public use investment, a station on the city’s main
circulation ring. Located between two problematic
neighborhoods of Bucharest,
the site is currently occupied by a former textile factory, now out of use,
accompanied by improvised warehouses and workshops. Due to the fact that none of the existing buildings on
the site has special architectural or historical values – they are simply
functional industrial buildings, the subject of reconversion and rehabilitation
was excluded from the beginning.The proposed station hosts regional, interregional and
international traffic, being a node of the same importance as that of the North
Station – the only station of international use of Bucharest. It has 5 platforms leading to 8 train
rails, as resulted from the passenger traffic study made for the station.The chosen area has 7ha and its configuration resulted
from unifying the industrial chaotic parcels, and re-parceling them
accordingly. On the surrounding terrains, a hotel and office buildings are
proposed.Introducing a public, extroverted architectural
program on this site, creates the appropriate environment for an economic and social
growth of the entire influenced area. There’s also an influence on a
larger scale, meaning an increased mobility and accessibility, and where the
city iconic image is concerned.By its mere definition of being a come-go node, an
urban magnet, and by the variety of connected public programs included in the
station’s machinery, this use of the site seems to be a proper one. More so, it
represents a true cure for the re-launching and re-entering into the city life
of those industrial sites that lost their initial functional use.
