Bus Station Slough Bus Station – corporate counterpoint in Slough (UK)

Bus Station slough - a spectacular new bus station of the British architectural studio Bblur Architecture . The unique 130-meter dome structure built in Slough (Berkshire, UK), contains a bus parking, waiting room, offices and additional services.

The main purpose of the new sign of the object is to create a transport interchange with the railway station, as well as the creation of a new, comfortable and safe, effective and aesthetic center of public transport.

The tubular structure of the station, wraps two-story building  and covers public route from the railway station through the center of Slough.

According to the authors of the project, they took advantage of the customer’s opportunity to improve pedestrian permeability between the railway station and city center, as well as provide a comfortable infrastructure vehicles. In addition, customer of the new object was given the task of creating eye-catching and memorable “gateway” to the ancient British city.

The shape of the building comes from the idea of ??different wavelengths of light, and was inspired by the discovery in 1800 of infrared waves Royal Astronomer  William Herschel, who lived at that time in Slough. The building, clad in aluminum, has a soft textured metal surface, the ever-changing character, depending on the lighting, weather conditions and time of day.

The landscape of the location of an object implies its review on all sides, including the top – from the windows of the existing and under construction nearby office buildings. That is why the sculptural form is intended to provide a counterpoint bus enterprise architecture area, the formation of which will be completed at the beginning 2012. The work of the authors of the project can be found on the official website of the architectural studio, whose office is located in London: http://www.bblur.com/
