HASSELL的Mark Loughnan表示：“获胜方案改进了火车站交通枢纽及毗邻交通节点的各个
方面，本案的每一个衔接面都与该处的环境相呼应，可实现公共功能及穿过基地的连接通
道。
“这些年来，Flinders大街火车站受到各种变迁的影响。如今到了这里，人们通常只是选择
匆匆而过。我们的设计将这个车站打造为人们的目的地，崭新的建筑和特色将吸引人们来
到这里。
“该基地对于土著生活与文化来说都有着重要意义。新的艺术画廊将展示来自澳大利亚和太
平洋地区的土著艺术，反映其历史重要性。画廊还将连接起St Kilda路的艺术机构和联邦广
场，以及Flinders大街上的移民博物馆和旧的海关大楼。
“人们从欧洲移居至澳大利亚之后，墨尔本最早的市场在基地附近建立起来。我们将重现这
座市场，使其服务于近几年来迁移到墨尔本中心的数千新居民。公共广场和圆形剧场在城
市中营造了聚会场所。”
Mark Loughnan, HASSELL:
“The winning proposal improves all aspects of the station transport hub and adjacent
transport nodes with each of the project boundaries responding specifically to its own
distinct context, affording both public function and connection across the site.
“Over the years, Flinders Street Station has been compromised by successive changes.
Today it is a place that people generally choose to hurry through. Our design makes it a
destination, with new buildings and features that will attract people to the precinct.
“The site was an important place in indigenous life and culture. The new art gallery will
house indigenous art from Australia and the Pacific, reflecting that historical importance.
The gallery will also provide a link between the arts institutions of St Kilda Road and
Federation Square and the Immigration Museum and old Customs House on Flinders
Street.
“After European settlement, Melbourne’s first official marketplace was near the site. We
are bringing the marketplace back for the many thousands of new residents who moved
into the centre of Melbourne in recent years. The public plaza and amphitheatre create
new meeting places in the city.”
