這是由HOK和Parsons Brinckerhoff共同呈現(xiàn)的華盛頓聯(lián)合車站設(shè)計方案，建于1907的華盛頓聯(lián)合車站是世界上最領(lǐng)先的鐵路設(shè)施之一，現(xiàn)在是美國國內(nèi)最繁忙的交通樞紐之一。如今車站的運輸能力已經(jīng)飽和，美國鐵路公司因此采取了復(fù)興歷史車站的規(guī)劃計劃，希望能夠解決基礎(chǔ)問題，同時使車站的承載量增加三倍，車站的火車數(shù)量增加兩倍。這些改變將為不斷增加的旅客提供便利，同時為未來高鐵的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造空間。項目將增加一個新的列車棚，HOK的設(shè)計還將為車站帶來充足的自然光，創(chuàng)造車站與周邊設(shè)施的良好聯(lián)系。一個綠色屋頂收集雨水，調(diào)節(jié)室內(nèi)溫度。項目建造大概要花15到20年，預(yù)計花費65到75億美元，將會產(chǎn)生總計143億的經(jīng)濟(jì)收益。
These changes will support the increasing levels of commuters with room for future expansion of high-performance, high-speed rail. A new train shed will welcome passengers to the nation’s capital. HOK’s design will bring natural light into the station, and will create better connections to Amtrak, commuter rail, transit and other transportation services. A planted, vegetative roof retains rainwater and tempers the interior environment. The framework for construction is 15 to 20 years, and the estimated cost ranges from $6.5 to $7.5 billion in 2012 dollars. It is estimated to generate a total of $14.3 billion ($2012) in regional economic benefit through direct construction expenditures and other related economic impact.
