China's modern station building: in the modern style in the pursuit of geographical
With the "globalization" process, China's railway station in the use of materials, design is the pursuit of modernization, the pursuit of environmental protection, the pursuit of speed and convenience. And then in the "globalization" Behind geographical style also maintained a strong tension.

China's rail transport is moving very quickly these years, there will also create a number of modern China's railway station.

New BeiJing South Station: inspired by the Temple of Heaven

BeiJing South Station is a new railway terminal in body size and the volume of the largest and most modern station. If only a simple calculation of the area of passenger services is the largest in Asia.

In accordance with the standards of world-class design and construction of large-scale modernization of the passenger stations of the district by way of three-dimensional layout, a total of five, on the ground floors, the ground floor of the three. The project was funded by the British Terry Shui design, creative architects from abroad have been in Beijing Temple of Heaven Hall of Prayer for Harvest inspiration. Designers from the design concept of the Temple of Heaven, the use of modern means of construction technology, will evolve into the top of the Temple of Heaven central station roof, will be the Second Temple of Heaven, the evolution of the three were dropped for the station house on both sides of Canopy style. The whole building was scallop-shaped appearance to the effect of the Temple of Heaven as the basic shape of a bird's eye view of the new main station building BeiJing South Station roof shape, therefore, the main station building for the oval-shaped, but also with the Chinese ancient architecture of the curve coincide with the roof, not only embodies the classical solemn, and burst out of a new era in the air. In order to ensure the appearance of coordination, the east and west sides of the steel structure of large layers of Canopy to extend outward to form a larger ellipse, the curve of a two-tier stacking Canopy down constitute the remaining three levels, implication of the mood of the age-old traditions. BeiJing South Station the roof of the main material for the silver metal plate, the roof of the middle with three levels, the Royal Architectural metaphor in China and status of the level of flu.

Waiting for the train passengers waiting hall elevated 9 meters high. BeiJing South Station the waiting room waiting room with the past is different from its use of tilt-type steel column to support the roof, only separated by glass walls, divided into three regions. This design concept makes the hall more spacious waiting elevated permeability.

Waiting room is a glass dome roof, covering an area of great natural light can be introduced directly overhead waiting room, while all levels of the ground have made a deal with local transmission. This design philosophy makes more bright waiting room, at the same time to achieve energy-saving effect.
