This playlist is covering part of the construction of the new Kaohsiung railway station. The project started 2014 and is scheduled to be completed 2025. All construction works are happening in downtown Kaohsiung. There are many temporary works during the project as construction is done under operation of the railway and MRT. The new Kaohsiung Station is the key element of the massive Kaohsiung Metropolitan Area Underground Railway Project, which includes seven underground stations along a 9.75 km railway tunnel. The TRA railway line was put underground and the main station will be a true transportation hub integrating train, metro, local and intercity bus services, taxi and bicycle. As a key project for the city’s urban development, the above ground station has been designed to add valuable public green space and activate the local community. Kaohsiung Station’s central hall unfolds underneath a brightly lit patterned ceiling that is much more than a station entrance and becomes a public stage for the city. The station’s large curvilinear shaped canopy reaches out to the city in a powerful gesture, acting as a green connector that unifies different modes of transport. With a cycling path running east west on top, the station’s multi-layered landscape introduces a generous amount of public space into the city center. Designed as a destination rather than merely an efficient mobility hub, the station offers a myriad of facilities for the local community and travelers. The sprawling landscaped canopy protects the open public plaza underneath from Kaohsiung’s tropical climate like large trees would do. Here people can meet, enjoy a refreshing breeze, or visit events that take place at the station. The colonial Japanese station building, which has been relocated to its original site, is embraced by the canopy and symbolically reconnects the old and new Kaohsiung.
