Bus Station with Park-and-Ride Building in Nördlingen
With its bus station and park-and-ride building, the small Bavarian town of Nördlingen has acquired a new traffic node. The central location, directly adjoining the railway station on what was hitherto disused land, facilitates a quick change between various types of transport: trains, buses, cars and bicycles. The new bus station, with its striking golden roof, has a signal effect. Its stepped form of construction mediates between the heterogeneous surroundings and at the same time distinguishes between two different realms: the open waiting area with the bus stops and the pedestrian route that leads along one side to the forecourt of the railway station.
