'Multistorey Dock' for Amsterdam Zuidas?

摘要

The Zuidas (South-Axis) will develop into the second city centre of Amsterdam. The station will become an important hub and the fifth station of the Netherlands. Several alternatives for the development of both infrastructure and urban habitat have been studied. Till recently, only two alternatives remained: the 'Dike' model, developed from the point of view of the infrastructure, but frustrating urban development and the 'Dock'model, developed from the point of view of the development of city planning, but neglecting the infrastructural and also the real estate requirements and therefore leading to a long building time. This paper will discuss a new design principle for the 'Dock' alternative.
