Multiple land-use through effective usage of subsurface dimension
by Frank van der Hoeven
____________________________________________
Landmark for the identity of underground space
The multiple land use of the railway tunnel site can not yet be used
as an outstanding example of strategic use of underground space. The
underground trainstation on the other hand is leading example for
the integration of underground architecture in its urban surroundings.
Situated directly above the Willems-railtunnel, arc and saucer give
dramatic expression to the underground presence of station Rotterdam
Blaak.
The entrance to the station, located directly underneath the transparent
saucer, combines architecture, daylight entry, social safety and circulation
into one comprehensive solution.
