korenice-becvary-high-speed-station
A transport infrastructure precedent by WW+P combining integrated landscape berms with a sweeping timber-slat transit canopy for high-speed rail stations.
- What we like about this project
- The station platform structure is completely submerged into a planted green earthwork berm to merge rail tracks into the landscape.

- Geometry
- Wide horizontal sweep featuring a curved overhead timber slat canopy on the right and an extensive green earth berm with integrated tracks in the background.
- Facade system
- Open-air transit platform with continuous linear timber slat overhead canopy.
- Structural guess
- Steel or timber cantilever truss frame supporting a curved battened roof.
- Spatial scale
- Expansive infrastructure scale bridged by pedestrian figures and sheltered waiting zones.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with soft, dappled shadows cast by roadside trees and overhead structures.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, airy, and organized public transport hub framed by green earthworks and natural timber tones.
- Environmental context
- Open suburban or transport hub setting featuring planted water retention edges, mature birch trees, and distant hills.
- Spatial experience
- Open-air multimodal transit forecourt balancing broad sweeping vehicular infrastructure with pedestrian-scaled gravel walkways and canopies.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stratification of roadbed, gravel pedestrian promenade, curved timber canopy edge, and distant planted rail berm.
