Steel Student Trophy 2009/10 - Self-Service Train Station

Interdisciplinary competition for students of architecture and civil engineering

The aim was to design a prototypical self-service train station with a modular, innovative supporting structure in Bruck an der Leitha. The goal was to develop a corporate architectural design for small train stations. The material steel and the principle of lightweight construction should play an important role. Attention should be paid to a sustainable concept, not only with regard to the resource- and environmentally friendly use of materials, but also with regard to the efficient use of the structure.

Task

A prototypical self-service railway station with a modular, innovative supporting structure is to be designed in Bruck an der Leitha. The aim is to develop a corporate architectural design for small railway stations. The material steel and the principle of lightweight construction should play an important role. A sustainable concept is to be ensured not only with regard to the resource- and environmentally friendly use of materials, but also with regard to the efficient use of the structure.

The aim of the competition

is to support innovative developments in structural design and steel construction. It also aims to promote interdisciplinary cooperation between students of architecture and civil engineering.
