Main Railway Station of Wrocław

2nd prize in the competition - summer 2008

The project's aim was to interpret the organizer's brief calling for a reconfiguration of the plot owned by Polish Railway Company (PKP) as an opportunity to influence a badly working surrounding.

The context required a number of drastic changes in surrounding street's system and traffic organization, when it comes to pedestrians, cars and tramways. In our opinion the very proposal of the new square in front of the station and internal layout of the building were secondary on the list of priorities.

The station building:
Footprint - 8 900 sq m
Usable floor area – 12 895 sq m
Cubic space – 101 173 c m

Total plot area: 12 ha
Aditional hotel and offices - over 83 000 sq m
