A transparent and clear concept of architecture transport and greenery is designed in such a way that the project can be implemented in parts and at the same time divided between individual investors.
The winning design shows how a modern transport terminal can function as one clear whole. By moving bus stops closer to the tracks and emphasizing barrier-free accessibility we will reduce transfers to a minimum and significantly increase passenger comfort. Such a solution creates a high-quality public space and respect for history finds its place in it says the CEO of the Railway Administration Tomas Toth.
The current historic station building will be reconstructed and supplemented with a modern extension of the bus terminal. By connecting the departure and arrival hall and adding other services a large common check-in area corresponding to the importance of the fifth largest city in the Czech Republic will be created the governor of the Liberec region Martin Puta praises the project.
Jiri Jandourek deputy mayor of Liberec for architecture public space and transport structures considers the winning proposal to be functional and sensitive at the same time. The terminal perfectly connects to the future rest area the parking garage and towards the city center also to the buildings of the former Skloexport and the main entrance avenue 1 May. The way in which the design works with the preservation of the original style of roofing of the platforms whose profile resembles the shape of a swallow is also unique. The entire area of the roof also becomes a source of solar energy for the station he says.
The association SIAL architects and engineers and VALBEK finished in second place in the competition and Perspektiv studio took third place. In the second phase models were also processed in virtual reality. The exhibition of the competition designs that advanced to the second round will be on display at the Linserka cultural center in Liberec at the turn of May and June.
