In the future, an extended canopy will offer pedestrians inviting and clearly arranged access and waiting areas at this important central interchange.<br \/>\nDespite the similarity of the design names &#8211; Seafish and Wave &#8211; our two projects have different design approaches. The &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luechingermeyer.ch\/en\/project\/erweiterung-haltestelle-bahnhofquai-zuerich-altstadt-1\/\">Barracuda<\/a>&#8221; design focuses on complementing the existing platform roofs with the new roofs to create a coherent overall facility. The jury praised the proposed supporting structure solution as &#8220;robust, light and adaptable to the variable geometry&#8221;. The new supporting structure essentially consists of steel frames with vertical supports and tapered cantilever beams with a box cross-section, whose shape in the higher central area of the bus shelters is based on those of the existing building. The roof slab is proposed in all areas in the form of prefabricated slender board-and-plywood elements, whereby the dead loads of the supporting structure can be advantageously reduced. Overall, the jury found that &#8220;Barracuda&#8221; succeeds in &#8220;tying the protected platform roofs together with the extension to form a convincing dynamic unit.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We would have loved to realise another roof construction at Zurich Main Station in direct neighbourhood to our platform roofs at Zurich Main Station and the Europaallee staircase roof.
