The
three elements of the scheme
developed by Arata Isozaki,
with Ove Arup and Italian practice
M+T Partners, for the new
railway station in Bologna.
A new station consisting of
a luminous box, an electrothermal
plant and a tube on
two levels that connects them,
housing a series of commercial
activities. These are the
three elements of the scheme
developed by Arata Isozaki,
with Ove Arup and Italian practice
M+T Partners, for the new
railway station in Bologna. The
Japanese designer, with the
concept of a bridge between
the historic centre and the
inner suburbs of the Bolognina,
proposes to “rebuild the
urban grid interrupted by the
railway”. The new station will
cost 340 million euros and
may be finished by 2015. Elena Sommariva
