This project aims to create a high-speed railway station in Brasov's business district, with a structural solution that is innovative, sustainable, and has the capacity to inspire. The station gives a new identity to the place by recreating the complex geometry of Transylvanian vernacular roofs with contemporary timber construction methods.

The economic development of the country is fuelled by the growing information technologies and services sectors, with business districts in the leading cities of the country at the core of this growth. However, the neighbourhood and the wider metropolitan area are poorly connected to the national transport infrastructure. The consensus in the country is that the lack of fast and reliable intercity transport connections will hurt the economy in the near future.

A high-speed railway that connects regional cities with the capital Bucharest as well as Budapest and Vienna, will assist speeding up Romania’s economic growth. The development will also help EU-wide policies that seek to replace short-distance flights with high-speed railway services to cut pollution.
