  • Introduction Way Does the Typology of the Dutch Train Station Need To
    Msc. 4 New Directions In The Public Interior The Architecture of the Interior REFLECTION Introduction In recent years, train stations in the Netherlands have become more public because of the accumulation of more and more retail and catering functions, making the stations destinations all by themselves.. At the same time stations are also becoming more private because of the introduction of the OV-chipcard, which requires travelers to check in and out with their card at OV-chipcard gates. Not only does this development often block the access to the new functions, in many cities it also creates a barrier for people who just want to use the station to get from one side of the tracks to the other. These developments where the main focus of my research studies and have led to my research question: In what way does the typology of the Dutch train station need to change in order to remain a connecting element in the city while at the same time accommodating more functions? Location The location for my graduation project is the train- and metro station Amsterdam Zuid, which lies at the heart of the financial district known as the Zuidas. The plan of the municipality of Amsterdam for Amsterdam Zuid is to reconnect the inner A10 part of the city to the outer part by placing the train- and metro lines along with the highway in a 1 kilometer long tunnel called the Zuidasdok. However, due to financial reasons the complete dok cannot be built altogether so the municipality has decided to split the project up into two fases.
