About
-- 02
The city of Tampere is one of the fastest growing urban centres in Finland and has a promising future as a growing metropolitan area. The Tampere Travel and Service Centre has, not only the potential to become an important gateway to Tampere and Finland, but also function as a generator for the development of Tampere’s urban centre. Approached through an urban point of view, the project sees the Tampere Travel and Service Centre as an essential role both as a local connector within the city as well as a national connector.
It provides a solid foundation for connecting the two sides of the city, now divided by the railway. ReConnecting Tampere unites the city together once and for all and creates a unified Tampere. The existing square in front of the railway station on the Rautatienkatu side is transformed into a new Central Park, where the new urban deck meets the existing city centre with a vibrant commercial arcade. The new park acts as the city’s new green lung. It provides an exceptional urban meeting place all year round as well as a recreational landscape in the very centre of Tampere.
The new Tampere Travel and Service Centre will be the first station in Finland to seamlessly connect all modes of transportation under the same roof.
The new Centre will be located on three levels which enable the placement of all different modes of transportation in close proximity with each other. In the future the new Tampere Travel and Service Centre will not only act as the crossroad of Finnish train traffic, but also become an important connection point to international destinations with the rapidly growing Tampere International Airport. The wooden columns rise from the station’s platform level and bend to form a 4500m2 canopy over the new public heart of the city.
The ethereal roof structure together with trees and small kiosk pavilions give a unique character to the plaza. Work
