Grimshaw Architects已经完成了多伦多地铁系统延长线最新车站的室内设计，巨大的弧形屋顶如同俯冲的巨型翅膀，建筑师还在天花板下布置了镜面玻璃。

Vaughan大都会中心（VMC）站是多伦多轨道交通1号线的北延线总站。

Grimshaw Architects has completed the latest station for the expanded Toronto subway system, with a huge curved roof that swoops down to form walls and is covered in mirrors underneath.
Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Station acts as the new terminus of the Toronto Transit Commission's 1 train line, which was recently extended north.

该项目由Grimshaw Architects负责设计工作，并与咨询公司Arup和Adamson Associates公司的建筑师合作。VMC项目的平面图呈椭圆形。

它的贝壳状屋顶向下弯曲，长边接近地面，而玻璃则填充在末端，在这里便是显而易见的入口处。

Designed by global firm Grimshaw, in collaboration with consultants Arup and architect of record Adamson Associates, VMC has an elliptical ground plan.
Its shell-like roof curves down to the ground on the long sides, while glass windows fill the gaps at each end – where the entrances are found.

在室内设计中，Grimshaw还与加拿大Paul Raff Studio合作设计建造了一个镜面天花板系统。

天花板呈曲线形，内衬有成千上万块方形镜面板，可将自然光和人造光进行柔和的反射。

For the interior, Grimshaw also partnered with Canadian firm Paul Raff Studio to create a metallic ceiling installation.
The concave surface is lined with thousands of square-shaped mirrored panels that redirect both natural and artificial light around the space, and to the platforms below.

“我们希望将日光引进建筑，优化流线和乘客体验。”Grimshaw的合伙人Juan Porral说。

人们在街道上的X形桥上可以瞥见一个大平台，这个平台将建筑的四个角落连接起来。

"We wanted to bring daylight down into the box for wayfinding and passenger experience," said Juan Porral, a partner at Grimshaw.
An X-shaped bridge at street level allows glimpses down into the platform, and connects the building's four corners.

地铁站的安全性也是设计的关键问题。该车站有清晰的视线，可以轻松看到通往楼梯和大门的步行路线。旅客可以清晰地搜索到他们需要的信息，在客流高峰时段也可以有序的分流。

“除了便利和通用之外，建筑的几何形态和空间透明度创造了安全的过境环境。”Grimshaw说道。

Safety was also a key concern. The station has clear sight lines, with walking routes to stairs and gates easily visible. They are clearly mapped to eliminate bottlenecks during rush-hour commuting.
"Beyond convenience and ease of use, the geometry and transparency create a safer, more secure transit environment," said a statement from Grimshaw.

多伦多York-Spadina地铁一号线北延线的运行路线是Vaughan郊区到多伦多市中心。

英国建筑师Will Alsop  最近还设计了两个多彩的地铁站，为Pioneer村和Finch West社区服务，也是地铁的延长线系统。

The Toronto York-Spadina Subway Extension of Line 1, created to provide commuter access from the city suburb of Vaughan to Downtown Toronto and beyond.
British architect Will Alsop has also recently designed two colourful metro stations for the expanded subway system, for the Pioneer Village and Finch West neighbourhoods.

当地未来的经济发展趋势也与这条路线息息相关，这里已经进行了相应的商业规划。

该站的适应性功能包括可拆卸的面板，这让建筑可以进行不同程度的开放，并将其与未来的其他建筑连接。

Development is also expected along the line, and around VCM, spaces have been earmarked for future retail projects.
The station's adaptable features include panels around the perimeter that can be knocked down, to open up the building at different locations and connect it to others in future.

建筑事务所负责人描述道：“该项目的一大挑战在于对于地铁站周边新兴城市空间的发展想象，然后设计一座具有地标性的城市地铁站。”

Grimshaw建筑事务所由建筑师Nicholas Grimshaw于1980年在伦敦创立，后来在世界各地开设办事处。

"Grimshaw was challenged to imagine a new city around the station and create an iconic head house that would become a focal point and organising element," said the firm's statement.
Grimshaw was founded by architect Nicholas Grimshaw in London in 1980, and has since opened offices around the world.

该事务所最近的项目包括中国的大型室内喷泉生态园、悉尼的连通办公大楼，以及北卡罗来纳州杜克大学的玻璃体量学生中心。

Other recent projects by the firm include an ecological park in China with a massive indoor water fountain, an office tower with three interlinking sections in Sydney, and a glass-encased student centre for Duke University in North Carolina.
