Architecture
Gangxia North Station was designed in collaboration between the French architecture and engineering firm AREP Architecture and maarc studio. With an area of approximately 220,000 square metres, it is one of the largest underground transport hubs in China. The architectural concept centres on a large central atrium, known as the “Eye of Shenzhen,” conceived to introduce natural daylight deep into the underground concourse. Large circular roof openings and glazed surfaces reduce the perception of enclosure and mitigate the typical subterranean character of metro infrastructure.
Line 14 concourse
Designed by Jiang & Associates Creative Design and China Railway Design Corporation, with Mr Frank Jiang being the Chief Designer, Line 14 concourse incorporates the "Shenzhen Eye" centre ceiling piece, which is a glass sky window to allow sunlight into the station, to try to eliminate the oppressive and dull feeling of underground space. The ceiling also uses the mathematical principle of Fermat's spiral. The huge columns acts as the main element of space for the large atrium. Louvered grilles regulates the day and night light, and alleviates the temperature pressure.[7] The concourse was designed using parametric software.[8]
