By the expresión ‘piastra-ponte’, competition bases seemed suggest a suture intervention of all previous railway situations. Provoked by railway traffic development that currently depends on different kinds of stations, this type of urban context is named as ‘railway complex’. The intervention could have simply connect longitudinally above the tracks, nowadays subterranean, in connection with commercial uses to maintain historical station representative value.
Nevertheless, situation in Bolonia is different. In the proposal, station-over-tracks schedule is adopted, a kind of station that is not frequent, not dependent on commercial spaces, despite of requested surfaces and where views of the trains will be important.
Architecture – building’s section was always the appropriate instrument to charge train station project – accompanies flow of travelers and train movement, in a sequence of spaces that generate certain expressionist character.
Roof over railways connects initially with the modest height of historical shelter, growing up to the North in order to integrate in his rising zones that build over High-speed Station. The roof intersect with rising planes to get to new station’s hall and shelter.
