Design an imaginary public transport station!
It could be a station that is:
- designed for rail, another mode of transport, or transport that doesn’t even exist yet!
- overground, underground, in the water, or the sky!
- creative, fun and innovative!
Design criteria
You never know when an idea could turn into a reality. Link Alliance / CRL want to know what kind of clever, creative space you would come up with, and are looking for innovative ideas highlighting at least one sustainable design element that:
- reflects the culture and/or history of Aotearoa
- considers the environment
- caters for the needs of other people
Get started
See how the Link Alliance / CRL partnered with mana whenua and consulted a wide range of people to design four innovative and sustainable underground train stations in Auckland.
Research / Consider:
- How did CRL design four innovative and sustainable underground stations?
- What is important to you that you would incorporate into your design?
- What might other people need or want? How could you find this out?
You will have a better chance of creating a winning design if you explore resources in this field trip - Future journeys: Linking people and places sustainably.
