| SOM proposes to fanastically expand Penn Station |
SOM设计事务所将一个透明的售票大厅放在中心的位置,用专用车辆和路径将乘客输送到周围的城市。所有的网络交织在宾夕法尼亚火车站,其中央大厅将成为世界各地的游客标志性的通道。除了创建世界最大的综合车站,SOM还提出要建立一个是Bryant公园四倍大的公共公园,一个Rockefeller大小的商业开发中心,一个比林肯中心更大的文化中心以及一个有着都铎王朝的大小的居民区。设计将充分利用其上空的潜在空间,保存完整的四块平地专门为公共使用。麦迪逊广场花园毗邻车站所在地,但不是最主要的交通枢纽。

Nearly 640,000 passengers use Penn Station every day, and yet it does not act as a dignified gateway to one of the world’s greatest cities,” states Roger Duffy, FAIA, Design Partner behind SOM’s vision. “What we propose creates a civic heart for Midtown West – one that is truly public and open to all – while allowing New York City to maintain its position as a global center of commerce, industry and culture.”
A central, transparent Ticketing Hall is placed at the center of the site, with dedicated vehicular drop-off and radial, pedestrian connections to the city surrounding it. [...] With all of these networks intersecting at Penn Station, its central hall would become the iconic gateway for nearly every visitor around the world. [...] In addition to creating one of the largest multi-modal stations in the world, SOM also proposes to build a public park four times the size of Bryant Park, a commercial development the size of Rockefeller Center, a city of Culture larger than Lincoln Center, and a residential neighborhood the size of Tudor City. The design will fully exhaust its potential air rights but preserve the full four block ground-plane exclusively for Public use. The natural location for Madison Square Garden would be adjacent to, but not on top of, the major transit hub. |
