阿特金斯集團（Atkins）計劃翻修肯尼亞內羅畢的中央車站，增加了由中非Boma圍護結構設計的頂棚。

該項目將由Atkins設計，改造后的車站將由一對位于主軌道兩側的扇形天篷組成。

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.

該項目建在車站旁邊，車站是該城市的早期石材建筑，而主要的天篷將向一個重新開發的廣場開放。

它的頂部是一個由鋼結構支撐的起伏屋頂，并由一座橋連接到軌道另一側的頂棚上。據該工作室介紹，建筑的形式是根據非洲中部的Boma圍欄的形式設計。

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工作室的設計總監Chris Crombie解釋說：“車站形式的靈感來自于Boma，這是一種植根于肯尼亞傳統和擁有更廣泛非洲文化認同感的圓形社區。
他告訴Dezeen：“由于其獨特的強化形式，Boma在中非很常見，并創造了人們可以聚集在一起的地方�！�

“我們以類似的方式設計車站，該車站將是一個位于城市中心的寬敞、民主的空間，提供一個獨特、開放、受歡迎的地方，遠離城市，但與城市相連�！�

隨著肯尼亞鐵路網的升級，該車站的開發計劃是每小時能夠容納30000名乘客，但Atkins工作室還計劃創造一個空間，也供那些不旅行的人使用。
Crombie說：“為了應對預期的乘客增長，車站還引入了‘大屋頂、小車站’的概念�！�

“該設計概念傾向于設置直接與公共領域相連的開放式公共大廳，并最大限度地減少有票乘客專用的空間，創造了一個新的城市綜合公共空間，這不僅僅是一個簡單上下車的城市基礎設施�！�

"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."

車站的公共區域，包括售票亭和咖啡廳，將被主要的頂棚遮擋，并向城市周圍開放。

Crombie說：雖然內羅畢位于赤道，但海拔只有1800米左右，這意味著它擁有一年的溫帶氣候，使該車站能夠在沒有機械通風或空調制冷的情況下自然通風�！�

他繼續說道：“大雨也是氣候環境的一個關鍵特征，它會導致城市中心地區的山洪暴發�！�

“為了解決這一問題，車站屋頂設計了用于收集雨水并將其引導至水箱，然后回收用于公共領域種植或車站用水系統內的灌溉�！�

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."

該車站是重建內羅畢市中心425英畝廣大土地計劃中的一部分。

它只是世界上眾多在建的火車站之一，Dezeen最近的項目包括扎哈·哈迪德（Zaha Hadid）事務所設計的橫跨維爾紐斯火車站的大橋，以及Aidia工作室在圖盧姆（Tulum）設計的帶有網格屋頂的火車站。

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.
