Abstract
Europe Central Station is a new kind of station in the global railway network, airming to replace air travel with a more environmentally sustainable option. This thesis conducted research on the essential requirements for designing an intercontinental train station, anticipating a future where train travel becomes the standard mode of transportation. As a result, new programs such as border security measures and well-designed arrival and departure halls were implemented. In addition, it illustrates how such a large train station can be strategically positioned within the city of Berlin, serving as a catalyst for future urban development. It also shows how such a large train station can be designed, providing an efficient, safe, and comfortable travel experience for the passengers.
