This Graduation Project examined the large issue of Sydney's transport future that called for a renewal of its railway stations. The stations should be designed to context, not a modernist prototype duplicated along every line.

Newtown station was chosen as a starting point. Its current building is a dilapitated turn of the century shed, with no public facilities or contribution to its locale. Its platform dipped below the road's surface, offering a quite respite from the bustle of Sydney's most popular arts & craft hotspots.

The strategy was to link Newtown to neighbouring Erskineville, invigorating it with the overflowing energy. The bridge stretched the length of the platform, simultaneously providing shade to the passengers.

Made of steel and timber, the link is also a live space, hosting a small outdoor autitorium on its decks and green patches to fill in the void in which the railway sits with an urban park. The concourse level bifurcates to create space for the station manager's room, ticketting and retail kiosks.
