westbahnhof train station proposal by shahira hammad

vienna-based designer shahira hammad has conceived a proposal to envision a new train station that would either modify or replace the existing westbahnhof train station in austria’s capital city. by maintaining the original structure, the existing building becomes the foundation for the new form to express itself with complex architecture. influenced by nature and culture, the intervention becomes characterized by spontaneous order throughout its final appearance. the organic fabrication is a reaction to excessive nature’s unique sequential geometry, reflecting on the idea of how time plays a role in metamorphic construction.
