| The project main ambition is to re-regulate the existing station area so as to open for a new system of public spaces, providing downtown Oslo with an attractive, real destination. A new outline defines 3 city blocks within the site and its existing buildings, creating an indoor passage and central space which will perform as meeting point and urban connector; east, west, and south will be linked through this public room. This new transfer chamber consolidates all transportation flows with a central layout, canalizing and distributing pedestrian circulation to trains, buses, tram, taxi and subway; as well as the flows generated by new programs like hotel, shops and offices. Each access point is tailored to the requirements of its immediate context: The west entry becomes a sloping plaza which open for views toward the opera and bring commuters smoothly up into the main hall, the north entry creates a new station façade addressing the east neighborhoods, and the south entry incorporates offices and hotel in the form of towers, reconfiguring the cityscape towards the fjord. |
