Small Railway Stations_RFI
::Architecture Competition for RFI design+restyling – Small Railway Stations::
The project called for a very systematic work that had to take into account all the possible configurations of railway stops, which varied according to site and train frequency.
The design process was based on the maximization of the project’s qualification from a functional point of view, through the application of different strategies aimed, on one hand, at finding a congruous integration with the specific typological characteristics of the project’s elements and, on the other hand, at searching for affordable materials and technologies applicable to different scales of the project.
One of the main aspects concerning the flexibility of the project is the typological variation and flexibility characterized by a broad range of structural elements and custom designed furniture items, carefully designed in order to be easily assemblable and adjustable to all the possible cases forwarded by the competition’s guidelines and to guarantee a dynamic use of space.
