With its organic, curvilinearshape and landscaped canopy, the new Kaohsiung Station will introduce a generous amount of public green space to Taiwan?s second city. Designed by Netherlands-based Mecanoo architecten, the station reaches out to the city in a powerful gesture, acting as a green connector that unifies different modes of transport, and represents Kaohsiung?s vision for the future as a sustainable city.

The new Kaohsiung Station is the crowning achievement of the massive Kaohsiung Metropolitan Area Underground Railway Project, which includes seven subterranean stations along a 9.75 km railway tunnel. It will be a true transportation hub integrating train, metro, local and intercity bus services, taxi and bicycle. As a key project for the city?s transformation, Mecanoo designed an above-ground station that adds valuable public green space and activates the local community. As a main arrival point for travellers, the station sets a new stage for the city?s spirit, values and identity. Arriving from the underground train and metro platforms, Kaohsiung Station?s central hall is a sunken plaza that unfolds underneath a bright ceiling of oval-shaped lights.
