3 4 Infrastructure 5 Connectivity: The Key to Better Lives CONNECTIVITY: THE KEY TO BETTER LIVES Varanasi Station, Varanasi Belfast Transport Hub, Belfast Crossrail Bond Street Station, London In the twenty-first century we can no longer think with certainty about orderly divisions between categories such as urban, suburban, and rural. More than half the world s people live in towns and cities, and that will increase significantly, year by year. The rate of urban growth in countries such as China, India, Brazil, and parts of Africa, is often astonishing. The pinch between public, private, and commercial or industrial space will become more constrained and challenging in terms of movement and economic development. The distribution of power also goes hand in hand with road, rail, and other kinds of infrastructure developments: the Energy Centres on London s 2012 Olympic site are an award-winning example of good design that add distinctive character to functional buildings; and in Sloane Street, London, the practice s green boulevard proposal is designed to give this famous street a much more elegantly relaxed character. The design of infrastructure projects must be as innovative and future-proof as possible. The practice s early schemes in the 1990s pursued this, and they included the Brunel Award-winning modernisation of Redhill Station, and the architecturally adventurous scheme for Manchester Piccadilly Interchange. In the same period, the practice was commissioned to deliver fast-track designs for ten new stations on the Delhi Metro, which were completed in time for the city s 2010 Commonwealth Games. The ability to design major high-profile infrastructure projects effectively began with the multi-modal interchange at Canning Town Jubilee Line Underground station. These headline infrastructure schemes now include the Anand Vihar Transport Hub and the 19th century Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is India s busiest railway station. In Moscow, the forthcoming Kosino Transport Hub will include significant mixed-use elements. One of the practice s most important current projects is the new Crossrail Bond Street station in London, and its public realm thresholds, which will handle 230,000 passengers a day from In addition, the practice s Crossrail Urban Integration Study clarifies the relationship between the new station and heritage, traffic and pedestrian connectivity in London s most important retail hotspot. Schemes for two more commercial and creative hotspots London s Oxford Street, and Manchester s Oxford Road Corridor featured proposals for high tech tram systems, while the practice s most acclaimed infrastructure project to date has been the award-winning 547m modernisation, renovation, and extension of London s Grade I listed King s Cross rail terminal and multi-modal transport hub delivered in time for the start of the 2012 London Olympics. The new concourse has rightly been described as the most innovative example of transport architecture since Stansted Airport and the Waterloo International Terminal in the early 1990s and is acknowledged as a gateway to London. The practice s expertise in transforming heritage infrastructure projects has international reach - Chicago s Union Station is a case in point, where the practice is exploring proposals to significantly increase capacity and unlock economic benefit whilst preserving the station s historic elements. The practice is also proposing improvements at another iconic station in the US - the 33rd Street Concourse at Penn Station in New York. In India, the practice is developing concept studies for Mumbai Station - a masterplan which focuses on delivering ehanced capacity. And in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the practice is designing a scheme for the Metro system. In Belfast, JMP s Transport Hub will create a fully integrated bus and railway station on a 10ha site on the edge of the city centre a key stimulus to further inner city regeneration.in Glasgow, the practice s proposal for Kelvin Link Bridge crossed the river to carry pedestrians to and from the Glasgow University campus and Kelvingrove Art Gallery. The practice s redevelopment masterplan for London s iconic Marble Arch is another relatively modest scheme with the potential to untangle apparently intractable surface movement problems. The proposal seeks a new relationship between the movement of pedestrians and traffic around and across this iconic site. The projects in this Workbook demonstrate that designing functionally successful, award-winning infrastructure projects is about a great deal more than the pragmatic grunt of functionality. It is increasingly about refining the image of towns and cities by making travel and movement much more pleasurable and efficient.

4 PROJECTS
5 8 Infrastructure 9 Projects KING S CROSS STATION CAMDEN, LONDON The transformation of King s Cross Station creates a remarkable dialogue between Cubitt s original 19th century station and 21st-century architecture. Opened to the public in March 2012, in advance of the 2012 London Olympics, King s Cross is now an iconic architectural gateway to the capital. The scheme has restored Grade I listed historic fabric, and added the highly innovative new Concourse. At 7,500 sqm, it is three times the size of the original concourse and has become the beating heart of this multi-modal transport hub, linking St Pancras Station, Thameslink services, London Underground, taxis and bus services, and accommodating up to 150,000 passengers daily through a spacious and dynamic multi-modal interchange. Opposite: view of new concourse; top: mezzotint showing cross-section of the original Train Shed (1852); above: construction of the Metropolitan Line (1861) and congestion in the former concourse; bottom left: site plan; bottom right: aerial view during redevelopment of the station, showing early stages of the regeneration of the immediate context.

12 22 Infrastructure 23 Projects CENTRAL STATION SYDNEY Left: exterior of Central Station in its current state; below: proposed Metro Box and new Northern Concourse; bottom: view of proposed new Concourse The world s leading cities, Sydney among them, are under extraordinary pressure in terms of the development of transport infrastructure and its relationship to urban fabric. There is an urgent need to improve the way in which people flow into and around key transport hubs, generating complex and often contradictory situations. The transformative renewal of Sydney s historic Central Station represents a key element of the $20 billion Sydney Metro redevelopment currently Australia s most ambitious public transport project. With 96 per cent of all Sydney train services currently using Central Station, the $1 billion contract will transform the station s capacity while celebrating the important heritage elements of the 112- year old station. The transformation of Central Station to accommodate a state-of-the-art Metro interchange requires the design of spatially and structurally significant segments, and sophisticated, multilevel passenger-flow strategies. But it must also be designed with the future in mind, so that the station can become the centrepiece of further place-making and regneration initiatives. Central Station is the backbone of Sydney s public transport network, with more than 250,000 people passing through the station every day - a number that is forecast to double in the next two decades. The Central Walk concourse will better connect customers to trains, buses light rail and the new Sydney Metro, witha 19-metre wide tunnel from Chalmers Street, linking to new Metro platforms, new, easy access points to Sydney Trains platforms and for the first time provision of escalators leading directly to the suburban platforms. The scheme - including the main concourse, Central Walk (connecting the Sydney Metro platforms to Chalmers Street), the Northern Concourse (interfacing between the new metro and the existing station) and the Metro box platforms - introduces dramatic new architectural and engineering elements, marking a step-change in the station s functional, urban and cultural contribution to the city. Above: two views of Central Station c.1910 (exterior and Grand Concourse); right: view of the existing Grand Concourse at Central Station
13 24 Infrastructure 25 Projects The Metro insertion must accentuate the key heritage qualities of the existing architecture, introducing new, architecturally inspiring elements that will not rupture the fundamental character of this fine Edwardian station. The clock tower, the original canopied concourse and the general architectural gravitas remain iconic and any new interventions, however, contemporaty in style, should elevate the station s unique historic status. The craft and richness of stonework of the existing building are reinterpreted to form new textured sandstone walls leading into the new Metro Box, referencing the architecture of the historic precinct to create an inspiring civic quality to the new spaces within the Station. Central Station s new underground Central Walk will be generous, distinctive and memorable, allowing passengers to orientate themselves intuitively through uncluttered and beautifully designed spaces, facilitating movement between trains, buses, light rail and the new Sydney Metro. The design also creates a series of urban rooms civic scale spaces such as new volumetric concourses that form part of the scheme s broad urban and civic approach. The dramatic volumes and natural light characterising the new Northern Concourse create a clear relationship with Walter Vernon s architecture of the historic station above. This Main Concourse with a viually lightweight and clear span canopy dramatically oversailing the space between the Central Electric Building and the original historic facade of the station, would give the Station and specifically the Metro an imposing front door. The new structure must dovetail seamlessly with the bold, robust architecture of the original building, in order to give the station an entirely new functional and experiential vibe. The vibrant new spaces will allow 100,000 train and Metro passengers to flow every hour through this new, inspiring and highly efficient 21st-century transport hub. The transformed Central Station will act as a catalyst for Sydney s civic and economic renewal.

14 26 Infrastructure 27 Projects CROSSRAIL BOND STREET WESTMINSTER, LONDON The practice is delivering Crossrail s Bond Street station. Consisting of two distinct station elements at Davies Street and Hanover Square, the scheme forms part of Europe s largest single construction project. The new Bond Street Station consists of two deep east-west platforms, emerging at street level via two new ticket halls south of Oxford Street. Connecting to the existing London Underground station, the new interchange will serve 230,000 people daily when complete in The practice is also undertaking an urban integration and landscaping study in collaboration with the City of Westminster, Grosvenor and Great Portland Estates, to embed the station in its immediate and wider context.

19 36 Infrastructure 37 Projects BELFAST HUB NORTHERN IRELAND The Belfast Transport Hub is key to city regeneration in Belfast. A new fully integrated transport hub will replace the existing bus and railway stations on the ten hectare site at the edge of the city centre and key in the ongoing regeneration of the city. Due to the success of public transport in Northern Ireland over the past few decades, the current bus and rail stations have reached capacity. In addition, further growth is predicted of 50% by 2040, prompting the need to provide a new facility. Following extensive consultations with the client, it is proposed that the fully integrated transport hub will include 26 bus stands, including three alighting stands, and eight rail platforms. The project also includes a masterplan of the 10 ha site; the proposed development providing approximately 135,000sqm of mixed use accommodation.

23 44 Infrastructure 45 Projects PENN STATION 33RD STREET CORRIDOR NEW YORK, U.S.A The practice study into the proposed improvements to the Pennsylvania Station 33rd Street Concourse focusing on improvements intended to bring immediate relief by rationalizing the layout of the existing concourses to create a smooth, seamless, safe, and efficient trip for LIRR and NYCT customers. Wayfinding should be intuitive and efficient to speed the transition between railroad platform and subway platform through modern dynamic and static signage, harmonious architecture and finishes, as well as including public art. Opportunities to enhance the journey for customers with disabilities should also be identified. The interface between the 33rd Street Concourse and the 7th and 8th Ave subway stations and the areas immediately within the stations that directly link to the platform also require new wayfinding, lighting, and technology upgrades as well. Opposite: view of the proposed station concourse improvements Above: existing concourse
24 46 Infrastructure 47 Projects METRO-NORTH RAILROAD STATION ENHANCEMENTS, NYC Existing Station Station Frontage Station Entrance Station Marker Car Park Metro North connects 122 stations over 384 miles serving counties in New York and Connecticut linking with downtown Manhattan. The project relates to developing a pilot station projects focusing on kiss and ride, canopies, platform, lighting and if affordable, over bridges and stairs with a particular focus on creating a legible entrance and amenity points. The two stations which we will be focusing on are Crestwood and White Plains within the context of a study which also includes Riverdale, Port Chester, Harlem 125th St and Bronxville.

25 48 Infrastructure 49 Projects MUMBAI STATIONS MUMBAI, INDIA Together with Mott MacDonald, the practice are developing concept studies for Mumbai Station Development project, specifically relating to Mumbai Central (BCT) and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) Stations in Mumbai, India. Focusing on station redevelopment and capacity enhancement for both stations as well as a wider masterplan study focusing on potential development proposals adjoining the station, will provide the funding requirements to fund the necessary upgrade works to the station. Both stations require significant remodelling and re-development to deliver modern standards for station operations as well passenger movement and to accommodate the increasing patronage numbers for stations across India. The proposed station development would act as a catalyst to regenerate the local area and create distinctive local neighbourhoods.

27 52 Infrastructure DOHA METRO DOHA, QATAR 53 Projects John McAslan + Partners is supporting the design of six Green Line stations within the $35 billion Doha Metro project by Qatar Rail, including landscape and architectural branding. This complex and ambitious underground metro scheme is due to be operational in 2019, with the Green Line stations serving as a 30km-long corridor connecting the centre of Doha to Education City in the west. Right: site plan showing metro line stations and connections; below and opposite: photographs showing the site under construction.
28 54 Infrastructure 55 Projects DALSTON JUNCTION HACKNEY, LONDON The practice designed this major residential development in Dalston, which includes a new station and a public square. The scheme comprises 309 apartments and forms a key component of the East London Line extension linking Hackney to the North with Croydon to the South. The scheme has become the pivot-point of a part of London that, until a few years ago, had no widely-known social or cultural cachet. The situation is very different today, and this scheme has played a central role in raising the profile of Dalston as one of London s most fashionable cultural hot-spots. Right: view of completed scheme; below left: view of platform at Dalston Junction Station; below right: model view; opposite above: façade detail; opposite below: sections showing the connections between the over station development and the transport links below
29 56 Infrastructure 57 Projects NORTHERN LINE EXTENSION SOUTHWARK, LAMBETH & WANDSWORTH, LONDON The practice is at the heart of the 1billion infrastructure investment project to regenerate Nine Elms, creating 25,000 new jobs and 16,000 new homes. JMP is developing the above-ground elements of two new stations and their urban context. These schemes include a significant overstation development at Nine Elms. The practice is working alongside Halcrow, who are leading a technical team designing the subsurface infrastructure, and design work has been progressed on the layout of the stations and shafts. Above: view of new pedestrianised street at Nine Elms; right: two new stations are being created at Nine Elms and Battersea. Kennington Station is being upgraded and two new ventilation shafts are being provided at Kennington Park and Kennington Green
30 58 Infrastructure 59 Projects NINE ELMS OSD LONDON John McAslan + Partners has been appointed by TfL to develop a planning application for a residential-led over station development (OSD) at Nine Elms Station and has assembled a multi-disciplinary team that is currently progressing development proposals, which also include a masterplan for the area encompassing adjacent developments by both Barratt Homes and Vinci St Modwen, together with a significant new public square supported by a retail offer. The scheme will provide in excess of 300 units arranged as three buildings on a site heavily constrained by the operational requirements of the new station. JMP s design focuses on creating a number of compact central cores with units arranged around them, maximising the opportunity for prime views and increased values. We have ensured that units on the north side of the building plan are dual aspect, helping to achieve best values and amenity for residents. Stacking of units over all residential levels avoids offsetting of services. This strategy will help to minimise construction costs. The efficiency of the layout and resultant building form is fundamental to achieving design quality within budget.

31 60 Infrastructure CAMDEN TOWN STATION LONDON 61 Projects HOLBORN STATION LONDON Camden Town station is an interchange station that serves two branches of the Northern Line. Following consultation with key stakeholders, John McAslan + Partners has identified a costed strategy to provide step-free access from street level to all platforms and increase the station capacity by providing a five storey box beneath ground and a new single storey above ground forming the new second station ticket hall. There is also an opportunity to develop a new residential multi-development element which is being explored by the practice. JMP, with engineering partner Arup, has been selected by Transport for London to prepare redevelopment proposals for Holborn Station a 300m priority project for London Underground. To be realised by 2022, the project focuses on congestion relief, capacity enhancement and accessibility, as well as public realm improvements and a significant over-station development at the very heart of the Bloomsbury/Holborn/St. Giles InMidTown regeneration area. Above: the station is V-shaped, with the entrance at the apex. The High Barnet branch runs to the north and east of the station, the Edgware branch to the north and west. The practice is reviewing potential improvements, including a new ticket hall and additional vertical capacity together with step free access; below: artist s view of a regenerated Camden High Street with the new station development.

32 62 Infrastructure KOSINO TRANSPORT HUB MOSCOW, RUSSIA 63 Projects ANAND VIHAR TRANSPORT HUB NEW DELHI, INDIA The practice, along with its Russian partner the Aurora Group, is developing a number of major multi-modal transport hubs in Moscow. As well as the Kosino project, JMP is preparing schemes for five other sites in Moscow: Novokosino, Alma Atkinskaya, Kotelniki, Spartak and Salarievo. These proposals form part of the Russian Government s modernisation programme of major infrastructure projects. Our preliminary multi-level designs for Kosino include park-andride facilities, car parking, metro, rail and bus interchange, as well as commercial, residential and community elements. The 53ha Anand Vihar Transport Hub will be a major new multi-modal interchange hub for New Delhi, one of a number of passenger terminals targeted for redevelopment by The Indian Ministry of Railways. These projects will be delivered with private sector partnership by leveraging real estate development potential. Key to the approach is the aspiration to deliver high quality urban infrastructure and an architecturally distinctive gateway to the city. The practice s scheme proposes the creation of a layered interchange building which will be oversailed by a large, architecturally dramatic long span roof.

36 70 Infrastructure 71 Projects CANNING TOWN STATION NEWHAM, LONDON This scheme, which won a Civic Trust Award in 2000, is part of London s Jubilee Line Extension network. It includes a six-platform interchange serving London Underground, the North London Line, and Docklands Light Rail. These lines are served by a three-level concrete viaduct with lightweight steel and glass enclosures, all of which were constructed without disrupting daily DLR services. There are passenger and operational facilities and an Underground concourse linking with the London Transport bus station at ground level. This element forms a distinctive gateway to the station and interchange, and incorporates both retail and passenger facilities. Opposite and right: views of the completed station; below: completed platform
37 72 Infrastructure 73 Projects OXFORD STREET TRAM WESTMINSTER, LONDON The practice s Oxford Street Tram study examined how one of the world s most important shopping streets could be improved by changing the mode and pattern of surface transport within transformed public realm conditions. We proposed radical commercial and spatial interventions for the 5.3ha of public realm along Oxford Street, and at the bookend public spaces at Marble Arch and St Giles Circus. The key features of our proposals incorporated a tram system, pocket-parks, and improved pedestrian movement. Other proposals included the potential re-routing of certain bus routes, and the creation of restful island-spaces at many points along Oxford Street. Opposite: night view, Oxford Circus; right: the proposed scheme includes traffic calming measures and enhanced public realm; below: masterplan
38 74 Infrastructure 75 Projects MARBLE ARCH WESTMINSTER, LONDON The practice was commissioned to prepare a masterplan for the redevelopment of Marble Arch, one of the principal gateways into the West End of London. This landmark has a long history as a gathering place for people, but its iconic character has been significantly compromised over time. We examined the balance between pedestrian use of the Marble Arch island and the surfacelevel traffic around it. The masterplan proposed significant improvements to the pedestrian environment, by making movement easier and safer and, importantly, by re-connecting the Arch and Speaker s Corner to the adjacent public realm. Opposite: model view, illustrating the enhanced setting of Marbel Arch; top: view of Marble Arch, isolated by the current traffic giratory system; above and right: sketches of the proposed scheme
39 76 Infrastructure 77 Projects PICCADILLY INTERCHANGE MANCHESTER John McAslan + Partners was commissioned to develop design proposals for a new bus interchange at Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester. The scheme included the redevelopment of the existing bus station, integrating it with the existing Metrolink city centre tram service. Our design options, which used modular components to allow straightforward future extensions, included individual steel tree structures designed to march through the site carrying EFTE canopies. The design creates architectural and spatial drama cost-effectively by using a kit-of-parts approach in the design of structural and canopy elements.

49 Credits Essay Design Jay Merrick, architecture critic Lisa Sjukur, April
50 `We create architecture which improves people s lives. We aim for an architecture which is rational and poetic, robust and delightful; we tread carefully and build with conviction; we tackle problems head on and think laterally; we deconstruct the brief and let a design emerge from a close examination of the pieces; we don t necessarily take no for an answer; we believe the power of architecture extends much further than the dimensions of individual buildings; we believe architecture is about making life better. We believe that buildings should be underpinned by a powerful idea; that the idea should be an intelligent and logical response to functionality and a sense of place; and the power of that idea should be embedded in the built form. That way, clients get the buildings they need and society gets the architecture it deserves. We believe that the city is one of humanity s most impressive and precious cultural achievements. We also believe that cities are more than a collection of buildings; cities are about connections, transport, communications, public spaces and joy. We believe in locating our buildings firmly into their contexts - not as slavish repetition but as a considered response to site, materiality, amenity, scale and culture. We don t believe in the value of a house style; if we have a house style it is one of process, not of form. We are functionalists. We believe a good building is an expression of a clear and rational diagram. We believe in the value of research. We believe in contemporary design for a changing world.
