Design Concept The   context   at   present,   in   which   the   station   20   and   its   park   will   be   located,   is   underdeveloped   with   expectation   of future   development.   By   concerning   it,   the   most   important   design   aspect   was   to   set   a   benchmark   of   the   future surroundings   near   ‘station   20’.   Hence,   the   design   was   initiated   with   scheming   for   a   landmark   that   the   city   of   Sofi   a would   make   for   the   unique   identity.   The   culture   and   traditional   elements   are   too   much   there   in   it   already.   The modern   design   with   its   tradition   is   way   too   complicated   to   make   architecture   elements   for   a   single   station.   So   that we   agreed   to   follow   the   context   of   the   site   and   transform   the   initiated   design   elements   into   organic   forms   which   will be easily mingled into the environment.
By   the   functions   of   the   station   and   its   landmark   role   in   the   city,   we   created   public   open   spaces   to   enhance   the aesthetic   beauty   of   the   station   as   if   it   is   an   art   work.   The   station   will   be   the   place   where   people   come   and   go everyday   for   their   commute.   It   is   to   be   the   park   for   people   to   jog,   walk,   meet,   ride,   rest,   meditate,   and   play   and   listen to music. Activities near ‘station 20’ are in our imagination yet it is to be realized by its openness.
The   station   area   is   stretched   from   the   south   to   the   north.   People   coming   to   the   station   or   the   park   will   approach from   those   two   directions.   The   roof   was   formed   to   show   different   shapes   when   people   look   at   the   building   from   the direction   they   come.   That’s   why   the   declination   of   roof   was   initiated   from   the   beginning   of   the   conceptual   design. Finally,   it   creates   the   two   major   views   from   the   south   and   the   north.   The   road   for   car   traffi   cs   was   divided   into   two directions   along   side   of   the   station   from   the   east   to   the   west.   As   the   speed   limit   will   be   set   for   these   roads,   there   will be   possible   traffi   c   lights,   and   lane   merging   areas   for   drop   off   to   help   limit   car   speed   for   public   access   to   the   station. Inside   the   station,   the   high   ceiling   and   passenger   bridge   were   designed   for   its   open   space   of   the   station   not   only   by saving    day    light    and    heating    energy    cost    during    cold    seasons    but    also    its    communication    with    the    nature surrounding. The center structural connections of the two wings of the roof   will   allow   the   installation   of   systemized   glass   brise-soleils   to   provide   the   necessary   shade   during   the   summer time by mechanical control. Required   way   finding   signs   will   be   placed   on   the   fl   oors   and   walls.   Especially   the   circulation   of   the   passenger movement   is   very   clear   by   separating   passengers   to   the   centre   and   to   the   airport.   Thus,   it   splits   inbound   and outbound   by   passengers’   destination.   Therefore   the   signage   locations   will   be   noticeably   obvious   and   clear   with   their installations.   The   station   20   will   create   unique   and   special   characteristics   in   the   world   by   its   aesthetic   form.   We believe in its pioneering role in the region.
