On an average day, the morning peak (07:30- 09:30) and the afternoon peak (17:30-19:30) accounts for most of the train line activities.
The packed cabins and platforms presents a different sense of public space. People try to be at ease in this spontaneous and intimate distances, escape into various anti-social behaviour, such as napping, texting and listening to music.

we were warned at the very beginning, a project in this scale requires a different kind of thinking...decisions of demolitions should be done if necessary, but wisely.
BEING BRUTAL MIGHT BE THE WAY OUT
BENCH MARK CASE STUDYStuttgart Main Station - part of the Stuttgart 21 DevelopmentIngenhowen and Partners, in collaboration with Frei Otto
URBAN DISCONNECTION: Old Stuttgart Main Station
URBAN CONNECTOR: New Stuttgart Main Station
The old station track cuts off the connection of the city centre, sacrificing pedestrian flow between the two sides. The main road in front of the station lies on a wiped-out plaza, rendering the station an island.
The new proposal creates a public space in place of the original track to re-integrate the urban fabric. It also facilitates connection across the road, bringing the station and the Kings Street pedestrian zone together. The new design serves as the meeting point between the old city and the new development.

The current Redfern Station serves mainly for the students of the Sydney University, which had 47,775 students in 2009 and the Australian Technology Park with Channel 7 office housing up to 2000 employees. Causing a huge demand of transport during the peak hours. there is also an influx of new residents and workers set to result from the Redfern- Waterloo urban renewal project.

Why a New Station?
The Current Redfern Station is a traffic knot, caused by the conflagration of pedestrian, vehicular, cyclist and commuter traffics. The troublesome situation is compelling for a major change, with the consideration of the future expansion of both Sydney University and Australian Technology Park in 2030.

“Infrastructure should be a projection of the future, hence the expansion of both Sydney Uni and ATP will be the major concern for the relocation of station.”

The expansion of University of Sydney into the North Eveleigh site, the new master plan will include education building, residential abundant greens pace and retail facilities; the ATP site is also great potential for future development, which will induce a large demand of transportation, exceeding the current situation.

The Station that Connects and Entertain, before and after the train operates
The project consists of two bridge buildings linked by an open pedestrian bridge; each bridge contains its own program. The first bridge contains the train station and an accessible roof, with gallery space and a nightclub, access via a ramp that is open 24 hours before and after the train operates. The choice of program is a protest against the current time-table system of train operation, and the mixing of activities that have previously been perceived as incompatible. The second bridge is the University Learning hub, containing small collections of books and digital media, reading room, class-rooms and lecture theatre, allowing both individual and collective uses.

There are many stairs/ benches space along the journey through the bridge, these spaces, almost like a little stadia, hang out space, are places where you can say, ‘ Let’s meet there!’ within the scale of a city.
