Bell & Preston车站改造提升，澳大利亚 / Wood Marsh

澳大利亚的Bell和Preston车站是Victoria沿线铁路道口拆除工程的两个节点。这些车站是Mernda沿线更大范围的铁路重建的关键部分。项目拆除了 4 个铁路道口，并且提供了价值 3MCG的社区休闲空间。建筑师和轨道顾问公司合作，通过改善设施和连通，包括美化环境、会面空间和共享的用户路径，以此来激活高架铁路下方的绿地。

Bell and Preston Stations have been developed as part of Victoria’s Level Crossing Removal Project. These stations form two critical parts of the greater rail redevelopment along the Mernda Line, removing 4 level crossings and providing 3 MCG’s worth of recreational community space. Developed in collaboration with Tract Consultants, this green space created beneath the elevated rail is activated with improved amenities and connections, including landscaping, gathering spaces, and shared user paths.

Bell车站的立面参考了场地周边列入历史遗产名录的建筑。Darebin市的屋顶景色被抽象概括成3D图案，形成新的混凝土立面。有棱有角的图案使建筑立面充满活力，其中的多色玻璃窗将彩色光线过滤到双层高的大厅空间中。这些色彩取自照亮邻近的Darebin艺术娱乐中心的色调，减少了大厅对人工照明的需求。Bell车站的发展包括设计一个兼作蓄洪池的公共露天剧场。该双重功能的空间，和Darebin的艺术娱乐中心相连，使现有的社区资产拓展到车站开发项目。

Bell Station’s façade references the heritage-listed housing stock surrounding the site. The City of Darebin’s roofscape was abstracted into a three-dimensional pattern that forms the concrete façade. The angled patterns animate the façade, which includes multi-coloured glass windows that filter coloured light into the double-height concourse space. These colours are drawn from hues that illuminate the neighbouring Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre and reduce the need for artificial light in the concourse. Bell Station’s development includes the design of a public amphitheater doubling as a flood basin. The dual-purpose space, adjacent to the Darebin Arts & Entertainment Centre, allows the existing community asset to extend into the station development.

Preston车站的设计体现了周边Preston市集的影响。外立面设计成一系列黑色垂直褶皱，类似于市场商贩使用的条形码。这些黑色的褶皱充满了从Preston市集提取的商品中提取的生动颜色，将市集的活力延续至车站。这种活力接着被延续至车站的室内，饰面层一直延伸到大堂，窗户将彩色光线过滤到这一空间中。不仅如此，车站的设计也考虑了适应未来Preston市集的发展需求。

Preston Station’s design reflects the influence of the neighbouring Preston Market. The façade was designed as an array of black vertical folds, resembling a barcode used by market vendors. These folds were filled with vivid colours drawn from the produce at Preston Market to extend the vibrancy of the market into the station. This vibrancy was then extended into the station’s interior; the cladding continues into the concourse and the windows filter coloured light into this space. Additionally, Preston Station has been designed to be adapted to the future development of Preston Market.

在整个项目中，色彩和形式都被用来创造场所。Mernda线被赋予了淡紫色的形象，因此，粉色和淡紫色的桥墩配合着灯光设计，一同形成了城市中的标志。作为不太出现在建筑环境中的颜色，这些充满辨识度的颜色强调了车站的突出地位。图案组成，多彩的装饰元素和车站不同朝向的灯光，使建筑发挥了场所营造的作用，并将轨道作为公共建筑的一部分。这两个车站的设计都倡导环保意识，这一点也体现在车站的可持续发展资质上，该车站达到了ISC铁道项目的最高标准，和六星绿星（Greenstar）要求。

Throughout the project, colour and form are used as tools for placemaking. The Mernda Line is attributed a lilac identity. As such, pink and lilac piers and feature lighting perform as civic markers. As colours that do not naturally occur in the built environment, these identifiers enhance the stations’ prominence. The patterning, coloured cladding elements and lighting of both stations’ façades enable the buildings to perform as placemaking mechanisms and celebrates rail as a piece of public architecture. Both station designs champion environmental consciousness seen in the station’s sustainability credentials including meeting the highest ISC for rail projects, and 6-star Greenstar requirements.

为了推动并且形成生态网络，该项目的设计也配合了城市设计和区域规划，其中包括绿地和当地的原生植被土壤。周围以及车站内生活设施的增加，拓展了使用者的活动，也提高了使用者的积极性。通过加强生态网络周围的被动监控，也保证了使用者的安全。这些生活设施的空间也为以前被铁道走廊阻隔的街道提供了更好的进入方式。

The project features urban design and civic zones, including green spaces and native planting grounds, in order to promote and act as an ecological network. The increase in amenity around and within the stations increases user activity and activation. This activation promotes safety by increasing passive surveillance around the network. These spaces used for public amenities also provide better access to streets previously blocked by the rail corridor.

Bell车站和Preston车站都结合了当地的设计举措来创造有意义的包容性的空间。这一举措的产出包括一系列的景观和城市设计元素。这其中包括在周围景观中的yarning circles（原住民社区中的传统社交场所），以及本土设计元素，例如高架桥上屏障的图案和两个车站电梯的图案。该项目促进了文化学习和交流的机会，也成为了一处具有功能性的社区空间。

Both Bell and Preston Stations incorporated Indigenous design initiatives to create meaningful and inclusive spaces. The outcomes of this include a range of landscape and urban design elements. These include space for yarning circles in the surrounding landscaping, and Indigenous design elements such as the viaduct screen pattern and the lift pattern at both stations. The project fosters opportunities for cultural learning and serves as a functional community space.

两个车站的平面都仔细的考虑了项目的功能，因而这些业态可以高效的运作。例如，Bell车站将主要功能都设置在建筑的四个角落，让宽敞的大厅保持无条件的开放。不仅如此，Preston车站的楼梯使车站站台可以从两端装卸货物，而不需要打扰到站台上的乘客或者运行的列车。

The plans for both stations carefully considered program so that they could function effectively. For example, Bell Station was planned with programs inhabiting the four corners of the building, so that the generous concourse remains unconditioned. Additionally, the staircases in Preston Station allow the platform to load from either end, evenly distributing passengers along the platform and thereby the train.

作为旅客们到达和出发的交通场所，该项目连接了当地的社区和大墨尔本地区。为了实现这一目标，经过改造的车站提供了安全公平的通达条件。该项目展示了交通设施如何通过改造复兴该选区。

As civic places of arrival and departure, the project links the local community to greater Melbourne. In doing so, it provides safe and equitable access. The project exemplifies how transportation infrastructure can be reimagined to revitalise the precinct.
