Wuhan Railway Station, China

Client: Fourth Railway Survey and Design Institute, China


The new railway station at Wuhan is to act as a catalyst to redevelop the city. The building has been designed in harmony with the surrounding environment.		   The landscaping on both sides will form a natural forest screen to reduce and isolate the noise of trains and vehicles. The large areas of water at the front of the station will connect with the Yangchun Lake to create a cooling environment.   Together these elements form a protective ribbon around the development. The station has a colourized aluminium roof made of a light steel frame. The transparent glass curtain wall maximises on the natural climate conditions by using natural ventilation and also providing a large bright central space.
