Kaohsiung Station Introduction
Kaohsiung's new train station, designed by the Dutch architectural team Mecanoo, is based on the concept of "the heart of Kaohsiung." Located in the core area of Kaohsiung City, it features natural ecology and a multi-layered open square design, with a large landscape green roof that surpasses 6 meters in height. The station area is essentially a beautiful landscape park. The underground station hall in the "sunken plaza" allows visitors to look up at the ceiling, which is illuminated by a dome inspired by traditional temple lanterns and adorned with floating light white cloud-like ceilings. Natural light cascades through skylights or the elevated ceiling during the day, creating a bright, clean, and spacious public space.
