London Bridge Station has been named Architects’ Journal Building of the Year 2019.
Based on a design by Grimshaw, the station re-opened in May last year following a £1bn transformation as part of the Government sponsored Thameslink Programme.
该车站赢得了评论中的评论中的高度赞扬：“非常令人印象深刻 - 一个项目的一个巨大的项目”和“宏伟的巨大谦虚”。
They also praised the scheme for being successful not just as an infrastructure project, but as a civic development. One judge said: “This is a great piece of urbanism beyond its job as a station,” Another observed how the station previously acted as a wall, cutting the river off from its hinterland, while Grimshaw’s design ‘reconnects the tissue of the city’.
The award is the third prestigious architecture prize which the station has received. Last month it won the RIBA London Award 2019 and was also named RIBA London Building of the Year 2019.
In a five-year build, the Thameslink Programme, a partnership between the Department for Transport, Network Rail, Govia Thameslink Railway, Southeastern and Siemens, created the largest street-level station concourse in the UK. Work included a major track upgrade, a new rail underpass on the approach to the station and platform widenings and extensions, all of which means 30% more trains can use the station than before.
Throughout the rebuild the station remained open to ensure rail services were maintained for the 50m customers who use it each year.
伦敦桥是伦敦市中心的最古老的车站，在英国最繁忙。该站最初是两个单独的车站。重建意味着为首次乘客可以从一个大厅到达所有15个平台。
南部地区约翰·赫尔斯尔网络亚搏彩票软件官网铁路董事总经理说：“我很高兴伦敦桥站项目再次被认为是伟大的设计和交付的例子。该站已被转变为交通枢纽适合未来。该奖项承认那些设计和计划这种转型的人的愿景以及那些开展工作的人的技能和奉献精神。它是一个令人叹为观止的建筑物，也有助于为伦敦这一领域带来新的生活。“
Architects for the project were Grimshaw and the main contractors were Costain and Balfour Beatty.
