Campanhã High-Speed Train Station
This competition proposal for the new Campanhã High-Speed Rail Station in Porto envisions a future-proof mobility hub integrated into the city’s urban fabric. Developed for Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP), the project combines architectural clarity with technical precision, emphasizing sustainable infrastructure, urban permeability, and the reinvention of public space around one of Porto’s key transport nodes. Through a collaboration between three architectural studios and leading engineering firms, the design strategically merges the station’s functional complexity with an understated civic presence, framing the arrival of high-speed rail as an opportunity for urban regeneration and intermodal fluidity.

The implication for suburbs, situated between the urban and pastoral, suggests an impending regional re-think, asking the primal question “How do we want to live?”BRINGING AIRPLANE SPEED TO GROUND LEVEL TRAVELBringing airplane speed to ground level travel, a hyperloop is a high-speed transport system capable of closing the distance between the city and its rural periphery. Thanks to worldwide testing of th... More
