阿特金斯集团（Atkins）计划翻修肯尼亚内罗毕的中央车站，增加了由中非Boma围护结构设计的顶棚。

该项目将由Atkins设计，改造后的车站将由一对位于主轨道两侧的扇形天篷组成。

International studio Atkins is set to renovate the central station in Nairobi, Kenya, adding canopies that were informed by central African Boma enclosures.
Designed by Atkins, the renovated station would consist of a pair of fan-like canopies positioned on either side of the main tracks.

该项目建在车站旁边，车站是该城市的早期石材建筑，而主要的天篷将向一个重新开发的广场开放。

它的顶部是一个由钢结构支撑的起伏屋顶，并由一座桥连接到轨道另一侧的顶棚上。据该工作室介绍，建筑的形式是根据非洲中部的Boma围栏的形式设计。

Built alongside the station, which was one of the first stone structures in the city, the main canopy will open onto a redeveloped square.
It would be topped by an undulating roof supported on a steel structure and connected by a bridge to a similar canopy on the other side of the tracks. According to the studio, the form of the building was informed by central African Boma enclosures.

Atkins工作室的设计总监Chris Crombie解释说：“车站形式的灵感来自于Boma，这是一种植根于肯尼亚传统和拥有更广泛非洲文化认同感的圆形社区。
他告诉Dezeen：“由于其独特的强化形式，Boma在中非很常见，并创造了人们可以聚集在一起的地方。”

“我们以类似的方式设计车站，该车站将是一个位于城市中心的宽敞、民主的空间，提供一个独特、开放、受欢迎的地方，远离城市，但与城市相连。”

随着肯尼亚铁路网的升级，该车站的开发计划是每小时能够容纳30000名乘客，但Atkins工作室还计划创造一个空间，也供那些不旅行的人使用。
Crombie说：“为了应对预期的乘客增长，车站还引入了‘大屋顶、小车站’的概念。”

“该设计概念倾向于设置直接与公共领域相连的开放式公共大厅，并最大限度地减少有票乘客专用的空间，创造了一个新的城市综合公共空间，这不仅仅是一个简单上下车的城市基础设施。”

"The station form is inspired by the Boma – a circular community enclosure rooted in the heritage of Kenya and broader African culture," explained Atkins design director Chris Crombie.
"Because of its distinct fortified form, Bomas were commonplace in central Africa creating places where people could come together," he told Dezeen.
"We envisage the station in a similar way – a generous, democratic space at the heart of the city, providing a unique, open, welcoming place protected from but connected to the city beyond."
The station is set to be developed to handle up to 30,000 passengers per hour as the Kenyan rail network is upgraded, but Atkins also aimed to create a space that would be used by those not travelling.
"A concept of 'big roof, small station' was developed in response to the expected passenger growth," said Crombie.
"The plan favours open, public concourse, linked directly to the public realm, and minimises ticketed passenger-only spaces, creating a new city-integrated destination, which is more than a facility to simply board and alight trains."

车站的公共区域，包括售票亭和咖啡厅，将被主要的顶棚遮挡，并向城市周围开放。

Crombie说：虽然内罗毕位于赤道，但海拔只有1800米左右，这意味着它拥有一年的温带气候，使该车站能够在没有机械通风或空调制冷的情况下自然通风。”

他继续说道：“大雨也是气候环境的一个关键特征，它会导致城市中心地区的山洪暴发。”

“为了解决这一问题，车站屋顶设计了用于收集雨水并将其引导至水箱，然后回收用于公共领域种植或车站用水系统内的灌溉。”

The station's public areas, including ticket booths and cafes, will be sheltered by the main canopies and open to the surrounding city.
"Although equatorial, Nairobi's elevation at around 1,800 metres above sea level means it enjoys a year-long temperate climate and allows the station to be designed to naturally ventilate without mechanical ventilation or cooling," said Crombie.
"Heavy rain is also a key characteristic of the climate and results in flash flooding across the city's central areas," he continued.
"To address this, the station roof is designed to collect and direct run off to attenuation tanks then recycled to irrigate of the public realm planting or within the station's grey water system."

该车站是重建内罗毕市中心425英亩广大土地计划中的一部分。

它只是世界上众多在建的火车站之一，Dezeen最近的项目包括扎哈·哈迪德（Zaha Hadid）事务所设计的横跨维尔纽斯火车站的大桥，以及Aidia工作室在图卢姆（Tulum）设计的带有网格屋顶的火车站。

The station forms part of a wider plan to redevelop 425 acres of central Nairobi.
It is one of numerous railway stations being built around the world, with recent projects on Dezeen including Zaha Hadid's design for a sweeping bridge across Vilnius railway station and Aidia Studio's design for a train station in Tulum with a sweeping latticed roof.
