CGIs by FlyingArchitectureThis visuals were done as a help for our friends with their project at Studio Hani Rashid at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
Since Istanbul is the biggest transport, trade and tourism node between Europe and Asia, this visualization presents appropriate design solution for its new train station – Arc de celerité. This giant cantilevered structure is hovering above the sea level like a giant UFO and a flowing design of this bridge connecting continents takes form of a natural sculpture. The building itself contains train station, shopping mall, hotel and sea port, all penetrated by the public spaces and greenery which runs along the entire 3 km of the building, connecting the station to the city.
