Catalysing Transformation

Brno Main Station, Brno, CZ

Redefining public space in a monumental multimodal transit hub: The station is the catalyst for the city of Brno’s desire to physically and mentally develop the new district as an integral part of the city.

Benthem Crouwel Architects + West 8 urban design and landscape architecture are collaborating on the design for a new multimodal hub of Brno, urban realm and adjacent station quarter. The urban layout of the station district allows for an optimal layout for all modes of transportation. By putting people first, all traffic modes are safely untangled. With a construction budget of 1,8 billion euros, the expected completion of the station is between 2032 and 2035.

Creating a barrier free district, the design both weaves and embeds pedestrian routes into the urban fabric and concentrates them through high-quality passages in the railway body.
