GJØVIK SERVICEBYGG
En ny bygning i dialog med Dues eldre jernbanearkitektur. Ikke i skrikende kontrast og ikke som kopi, men som en respektfull inspirasjon. Med OL-arrangementer på Gjøvik og en ny bussoppstilling ved stasjonen var det behov for økt servicetilbud til de reisende. Dette ble plassert i den
gamle privetbygningen som ble utvidet med tilbygg. Tilbygget har en buet form som formidler bevegelsen mellom togperrongen og bussenes plattform. Den «peker» mot hovedgaten, og gir et spennende rom med god utsikt for de reisende. Tilbyggets konstruksjoner er slanke laminerte trerammer og glassfyllinger.
GJØVIK SERVICE BUILDING
A new building in dialogue with Due’s older railway architecture – not a stark contrast, not a copy, rather, it’s a respectful inspiration. When the Winter Olympic Games were held in Lillehammer in 1994, the nearby town of Gjøvik was the venue of some of the events. This called for a new bus stop
at the train station, offering more service to passengers. The site selected was the old outside lavatory building, which was extended with a new annex. The annex has a curved form, conveying motion between the railway platforms and the bus platform. This points toward the main street and provides an engaging space with a fine view for the passengers. The annex’s constructions are composed of slim laminated wood frames with glass inserts.
