Railway

The project's guiding concept was to develop the new railway station not merely as an infrastructure facility, but as an urban connecting element that enables barrier-free everyday mobility between the two communities for everyone. A broadly sweeping, generously dimensioned bridge structure made of timber and steel for pedestrians and cyclists is the central element, both functionally and visually. Andreas Buchberger Andreas Buchberger ON SHORT ROUTES At the Fritzens-Wattens mobility hub, the different modes of transport are not simply arranged side by side; instead, the structural design emerges from the integration of multimodal connections along short routes. The distance between the bicycle parking facilities in the interio... More

In Feb 2019, the Taiwanese society criticized heavily an expensive yet unsightly new tourism train. Forus, JC Architecture, instead of complaining, we wrote an open letter with encouragement and positivity to tell the Taiwanese society that Taiwanese designers can make a change.

Bangladesh Railway is an extremely important organization with a proud heritage. Therefore the head-office building of Railway needed to be such a building that will be an iconic building in the city.

This faceting not only improves the quality of light and reduces heat gain inside the building but it also creates an abstract sculptural quality of which will make the building extremely unique in the skyline of the CDB of Dhaka city. The building-abstractness will give it a timeless character which we feel is befitting for an organization like Bangladesh railway. More

Arc2 architecten designed a family style for the engineering works for this main traffic road, which include viaducts for motor vehicles and for cyclists, an ecoduct and a railway viaduct. Their shared features are wooden balustrades with green LED-lighting, embankment hard surfacing with natural materials and an integration of the road into the landscape. Arc2 developed the viaducts on a basis of the Cradle-to-Cradle. More

The Railway Museum is situated at the rear of Maliebaan Station in the city centre of Utrecht. Considerable thought went into how the museum relates to its surroundings. The building consists of a large hall plus three exhibition rooms whose volumes project through the sloping roof. The outer wall is built in brickwork with window strips that are filled with glazing, grilles or sections of weather-boarding according to the interior functions. The structural frame resembles a rib cage, and is supported by columns which branch upwards like trees. Railway Museum Utrecht, the Netherlands by Arc2 architecten. More
