| Hoenheim-Nord Terminal |
To help fight against the congestion and pollution in the city,
Strasbourg developed a new tram-line service that encourages people to leave
their cars outside the city and take a tram to the more inner parts of the
city. Hadid designed the tram-station and a car park for 700 cars. Her main
idea was to create an attractive space with energy that is clearly defined in
terms of function and circulation. Hadid did this by using 3D graphics of light
and openings.
Overlapping fields and lines that come together to form a whole is the
concept used in the planning of the car park. The ‘fields’ are the patterns of
movement from the cars, trams, and pedestrians traveling through the space.
The station has a basic program of waiting space, bicycle storage,
toilets, and shops. There is a sense of three dimensional vectors that is improved
with elements such as a play of lines that continue as light lines on the
floor, or furniture pieces, or strip-lights in the ceiling. In plan, these ‘lines’
create a synchronous whole. From this concept, I made a model that shows the
basic plan of the station. The lines from the station blend with the parking area and makes the whole space flow as one. The white ground below the station ties everything together to make it one harmonious space.
