一个包含自己可再生能源生成的火车站设计赢得了塑造英国未来铁路的竞争。
Network Rail and theRoyal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)选择了爱丁堡为基础7N建筑师’ entry for a station design that considers the needs of passengers and local communities.
It also aligns with our aspirations to be carbon neutral by 2050 with the capacity to generate renewable energy to provide most of a station’s power.
The contest sought architects, engineers and designers from around the world to re-imagine how small to medium-sized stations could improve your travelling experience.
It attracted more than 200 entries from designers based in 34 countries.

赢得概念
7N的拟议站正面包括一座醒目的钟楼，该钟楼提供了强大的公民目的，作为当地地标和社交活动的自然聚会场所。
Beyond the station entrance, elegant, sweeping platform canopies provide shelter for passengers. The modular station design can be integrated into a variety of locations that complement the local landscape.

小组成员表示，7N巧妙地削减了其获胜的概念，以创造一个开放和灵活的系统，可以改变您的车站的体验。
The design also cleverly incorporates renewable energy generation with translucent photovoltaic panels, which also provide dappled shade and shelter from rain.
7N建筑师will now work closely with Network Rail project representatives to develop its design into a formal proposal that addresses a prescribed set of technical requirements, including consideration of construction methodology.
A station for the 21st century
Anthony Dewar, head of Buildings and Architecture at Network Rail, said: “This competition offered a unique opportunity to reimagine what a railway station can be in the 21st世纪，创造一个更好的环境，更好地服务于依靠英国铁路网络的乘客和社区，并在车站设计上留下持久的遗产。亚博账号登录我想祝贺7当位的建筑师在他们的获胜条目中，我期待着看到他们将如何将其设计带到生活中。“
铁路部长克里斯·赫索 - 哈里斯说：“7纳建筑师的创新概念将乘客放在其设计中，从扫除的檐篷提供从要元素和发电的避难所，以担任当地地标。
“Harnessing creative and forward-thinking ideas in competitions like this will be a game-changer when it comes to designing stations of the future that deliver a first-class experience for all passengers. I look forward to seeing this become a reality.”
Better design around the railway
改善设计 - 站和结构 - 对我们很重要。2019年，we launched the Design Advice Panel, and new design principles to ensure better value and outcomes for the long term.
It’s made up of a range of built environment specialists who will review design proposals at an earlier stage of a project than has been typical in the past.
设计建议可以帮助确保整个设计，规划和交付阶段的遵守主题，如安全，建筑保证和包容性设计。
It leads to better construction that takes into account aesthetics,遗产，乘客要求和人类行为。
