Abstract

High-speed train station
buildings are now becoming social centers for cities beyond being just a mode
of transportation. In addition to being a gathering point that connects different
railway networks, they became a focal point where the city and the city
dwellers come together, almost acting as ‘the gateway to the city’. In that
sense, they are expected to meet different needs other than transportation. In
order to meet daily needs, high-speed train station buildings are supported by
spaces where people can spend time apart from transportation such as shops,
diners, hotels and offices, thus, have become a social center of the city. In
this regard, the high-speed train stations have become a multi-layered
structure that incorporates different functions. The designers have used
different methods and techniques to solve this multifunctional and
multi-layered structure. Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to analyze
the developed design approaches by examining different domestic and
international high-speed train stations, and to develop a design model for new
high-speed train stations to be built.
