澳大利亞「極簡」車站設計

設計 03-09

弗蘭克斯頓地鐵站是通往莫寧頓半島的門戶，也是弗蘭克斯頓市中心的主要交通樞紐。該項目是維多利亞州政府平交道口改造項目的一部分，約為69億美元。

由西北項目聯盟交付，及平交道口移除管理局監督施工。弗蘭克斯頓站項目已提供了競賽簡介，該競賽要求建築既能滿足車站的功能性要求，又能改善通勤者的舒適度。

Text description provided by the architects. Frankston Station is a gateway to the Mornington Peninsula and the primary transport hub for the centre of Frankston. The project forms part of the Victorian State Government』s circa $6.9b. Level Crossing Removal project and was delivered by the North Western Program Alliance, with construction overseen by the Level Crossing Removal Authority. The Frankston Station project delivers the Office of the Victorian Government Architect competition brief that called for a building that could both satisfy the requirements of a functioning station and improve amenity for commuters.

此外，該站還滿足了對公民尺度結構的需求，這種結構可以回應環境，並振興法蘭克頓市中心。由於其在弗蘭克斯頓市中心，當地社區與該站有著長久而牢固的聯繫。

Furthermore, the station also meets the need for a civic scale structure, that could respond to the context and revitalise central Frankston. The local community has a long and strong association with the station due to its location at the heart of Frankston.

了解這種聯繫並認知到建築的願望，並將在社會層面上向多元化的弗蘭克斯頓社區講話，這促使設計師設計一個為市民帶來便利，賦予人性化的地鐵站。

Understanding this association and recognising the desire for a building that would speak at a social level to the diverse Frankston community drove Genton to design a station with civic conscience. The forecourt and geometry create a grand sense of arrival and recognisable back drop for meeting and events that is distinctly Frankston due to the continuous beach-inspired terrain and light ephemeral nature of the canopy screen.
