New Realism And New Movement

During the constructing of the high-speed passenger transport network, especially thehigh-speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai, a large number of stations will bebuilt or rebuilt. Based on the facts of our country, this paper studies Japan andEuropean Union's practice, and points out some principles for the station design. There are three parts in this paper. Part I mainly introduces the impulses of thedriving factors as technology, economy, etc. that have been given to theredevelopment of railway traffic, the re-orientation of the railway traffic and there-acquaintance of the station areas under the new circumstances. Part II fully andaccurately discusses the railway stations in three facets: the traffic organization underthe conception of integrated transportation, the new mode of the space compositionwith optimized efficiency and the demand of railway station configuration andcommercialized process. Part III analyzes the current large-scale railway stations inChina and combs the design trend of three new stations. Finally, some suggestions forthe passenger railway stations which are suitable to China have been put forward, atthe same time, are regarded as the good ideals that can provide designing experiencesfor railway station construction in China.
