LA CITTÁ DOPO IL PROGRESSO: LA STAZIONE DI STOCCARDA E L’AEROPORTO DI BERLINO
2014
The city post-progress: the station in Stuttgart and the airport in Berlin. by Florian Hertweck. In 2012 the Biennale di Venezia dedicated an entire room to the Hamburg Philharmonic. This was a tribute to the project by Herzog and De Meuron, but not for its splendid architecture, rather for the disaster represented by its construction. In a country which has built its identity around its faith in progress and growth, as much as its capacity for developing, on the national scale, a complex of technical, social and cultural infrastructures that is among the most competitive in the world, the inability to bring projects of this scope to term reveals a change in paradigm. In fact, the failure o…
Modelling Airlines Competition on Fares and Frequencies of Service by Bi-level Optimization
2011
Abstract The research aims to understand how airlines make operative decisions on fares and frequencies of service in a competitive envi-ronment. A game approach has been developed to model the airlines’ choices in a duopolistic market. In particular, the short haul market for intercity linkages has been investigated. In this segment the air mode is in competition with other ground modes (i.e. road and high speed rail). A bi-level optimization program has been realized. The variables of model are: fares and frequencies of airlines.
LYON PART DIEU, HUB METROPOLITANO CONTEMPORANEO
2014
Lyon Part Dieu, contemporary metropolitan hub. By François Decoster, Djamel Klouche and Caroline Poulin. This article introduces a series of concepts developed by the AUC in its research on the theme of mobility, transportation, and stations in contemporary cities. The “inexorable station” in fact debates the need, for contemporary stations and more in general transportation venues, to evolve as projects for open spaces, to be porous with respect to the city while establishing with it an organic relationship. Stations are not just specialized venues dedicated to transportation, but more than ever they are becoming “initiators”, essential levers for urban development and regeneration in toda…
L'infrastruttura scomparsa. Il nuovo suolo della stazione Sagrera Alta Velocità a Barcellona
2014
The vanishing infrastructure. The new ground of the Sagrera High-Speed railway station in Barcelona The current railway station mega-project in Barcelona Sagrera highlights the link between the construction of the new High- Speed station and a vast linear park that will cover the existing railroad tracks. In the framework of one of the largest and most ambitious railway and urban redevelopment projects currently underway in all of Europe, this article focuses on the subordination of the Station to the park, which apart from being a mere issue of location (the station is literally under the park), can be reframed within a theoretical debate on the role of architecture in these truly signific…
L'implantation des gares TGV en France: tensions interscalaires, jeux d'acteurs et recompositions spatiales
2010
L’extension du réseau de lignes à grande vitesse renouvelle le problème du positionnement des gares, notamment en France qui privilégie une logique d’efficacité fondée sur des dessertes rapides et cadencées entre grandes métropoles au détriment des espaces intermédiaires. Cette option se traduit par deux types de localisation : gare principale centrale pour les plus grandes villes et gare périphérique pour les villes petites et moyennes. Ces choix d’implantation résultent de processus interactifs qui concernent tous les niveaux de l’organisation spatiale. Ainsi, si on examine les processus de décision ayant conduit à l’implantation des gares TGV en France, ces choix et les stratégies de val…
Nuove stazioni, periferie e città
2016
L’infrastruttura contemporanea amplia e fa slittare il proprio campo semantico, trasformandosi definitivamente da artefatto tecnico di carattere titanico ed epico ad elemento riparatore dei tessuti urbani, flessibile, trasformabile. In questo quadro in mutazione, numerose esperienze negli ultimi trent’anni hanno affermato in Europa occidentale il ruolo dei grandi progetti ferroviari come vettori di trasformazione urbana. A quindici anni dall’avvio della prima stagione di concorsi internazionali banditi per le nuove stazioni dell’Alta Velocità in Italia, è possibile un bilancio volto non solo al semplice confronto dei risultati direttamente pertinenti la realizzazione e l’esercizio dell’oper…
L'Alta Velocità in Cina. Politiche, strategie, territori
2014
High Speed railways in China. Policies, strategies and territories. by Marc Guigon The history of High-Speed railways in China is not a linear one, traced in the course of a rigorous planning process. It has on the contrary experienced moments of rapid surge, only to be followed by periods of slower growth. Fervid action, decision-making and euphoria have been accompanied by scathing failures, against a background of corruption and complex relations with the foreign providers of fundamental technology. The ! nal result is noteworthy however, because China currently has the largest High-Speed railroad network in the world, with a very high level of customer satisfaction, though the cost has …
STAZIONI DELL’ALTA VELOCITÁ IN GIAPPONE. TIPOLOGIA ARCHITETTONICA E URBANA DI UN MODELLO PRAGMATICO
2014
High-Speed railway stations in Japan. The architectural and urban typology of a pragmatic model. By Corinne Tiry-Ono The Japanese high-speed railway service was launched in 1964, during a time of rapid economic and demographic growth. It gave birth to a new, standardized generation of railway stations, and embodied the Tokaido Megalopolis. Originally centred on the capital city, its network now stretches across the entire country, seeking a better balance in terms of regional economic development and the revitalization of peripheral areas. Topographical constraints, natural risks and technical choices (elevated tracks, frequent tunnels, and speci! c rail gauge) led to a physically and techn…
Stazioni e città - Trasporti e cultura n.38
2014
This monograph section of “Trasporti & Cultura” examines the relationship of new high-speed railroad stations to their cities. The objective is to investigate the depth and meaning of the transformations being wrought by the new stations, in a comparative international scenario. Articles on Japan and China are followed by European case studies. The academic premise that looked to railway stations and tracks as a tool to regenerate blighted urban and industrial areas is clearly reasserted. Links can be established between urban transformation, new rail technology and the siting of the stations. Reframed by the new challenges of sustainable actions, energy transition, shrinking economies, the…
