\nSince the building is listed, the fa\u00e7ade opening must be planned in close contact with the Agency for Culture and Palaces. Even though significant changes will be made, it is important that they are fused together with the existing surroundings in a frictionless process to maintain the special spirit and appearance of the central station. Among other things, this requires special knowledge of traditions and peculiarities regarding brickwork, which is one of the characteristics of the building.<\/p>\nIn connection with the modification of the shop pavilion, there are many considerations to balance. The pavilions must be flexible enough for varying use and an expected increase in number of passengers with the opening of the new metro lines. Practical needs such as cooling and ventilation installations must be taken into account, and it must be easy to carry on existing procedures for waste separation, delivery of goods, etc.<\/p>\n
In that way, it is a typical assignment for Copenhagen Central Station with the constant balance between requirements related to listed buildings and to function\u00adality, passengers\u2019 expectations and needs, the wish to create a beautiful and image-bearing look, aligning with many difference stakeholders, special railway conditions, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
