Train Station and Market: Large-Span Steel Structure with Brick Shell

A public building with a brick exterior and an iron interior. From the outside, it presents a complete brick facade: a large horseshoe arch entrance, coupled windows, a corbelled cornice, and two corner towers; stepping inside, it is something entirely different—exposed cast iron columns and trusses support a large-span glass roof, with modern engineering directly juxtaposed with a historic shell, without any transition. Avoid: making the interior also a brick historical style, cladding the iron structure with brick, making the exterior and interior styles consistent, omitting the large-span glass roof.

一棟外磚內鐵的公共建築。從外面看是完整的磚砌立面:馬蹄拱的大門、雙連窗、疊澀簷口與兩座角塔;走進去卻是完全不同的東西——外露的鑄鐵柱與桁架撐起一個大跨距的玻璃屋頂,現代工程與歷史外殼直接並置,沒有任何過渡。避免:把室內也做成磚砌的歷史樣式、用磚包覆鐵構、讓外殼與內部的風格一致、省略大跨距的玻璃屋頂。
