Architectural Design Concept of ′Confucian Elegance and Plain Expressions′ for Jinan Rail Transit Line 1

Journal Title: Urban Mass Transit - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 1

Abstract

[Objective] The cultural attributes and architectural landscape of modern urban rail transit projects are gradually becoming a focal point of public attention. The architectural design in such projects carries significant implications for urban social development and the manifestation of regional culture. [Method] Focusing on the architectural design of Jinan Rail Transit Line 1, an innovative architectural concept named as ′Confucian Elegance and Plain Expressions′ is proposed. This concept is integrated throughout the entire line, including architectural, structural, and decorative elements. Notably, it involves the creation of a fish-belly island-style elevated station with a 10° outward-leaning structural side elevation, enhancing the landscape aesthetics for elevated stations in the middle of the road. [Result & Conclusion] The architectural landscape of elevated stations follows ′one station, one scene, harmoniously diverse′ design approach, which combines station surroundings and cultural attributes in featured designs such as ground-level curtain walls, interior cultural walls, and roof skylights. The elevated segment bridges incorporate round-shaped piers, jewel-shaped beam caps, and prefabricated U-beams, harmoniously blending with the elevated station architectural landscape, sustaining a cohesive nature. The underground station decoration design follows the approach of ′cultural integration, classical inheritance′, coalescing the regional culture of station surroundings to create thematic stations. The station structure construction employs fair-faced concrete construction techniques, integrating modern construction process with building structure, decorative aesthetics, and cultural artistry. This synthesis gives rise to a stylish architectural taste that is elegantly unadorned and naturally dignified, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of Confucian culture. The research findings provide valuable insights and guidance for the innovation and development of urban rail transit architecture design.
