帕拉马塔交通枢纽作为“城市铁轨”网络上的第5大车站,是新南威尔士州政府悉尼西部都市战略的关键要素。HASSELL事务所的任务是营造一个能在每个早高峰时段承受预计增长50%的铁轨客流量和300车次公交营运的现代化交通枢纽。设计所面对的挑战是要在对被列为遗产的建筑进行保护、并保持完全高效地运作的同时,将西侧的大厅面积和平台长度扩大1倍。 The Parramatta Transit Hub, the 5th largest station on the City Rail network, is a key element of the New South Wales Government’s Sydney Western Metropolitan Strategy. HASSELL’s mission is to create a modern transportation hub capable of sustaining a projected 50% increase in rail traffic and 300 bus trips per rush hour. The design challenge is to double the size of the lobby and the length of the platform on the west while preserving the buildings that are listed as heritage and maintaining it fully and efficiently.
