Design & Architecture: Canary Wharf Elizabeth line station Crossrail Project 2022-07-05 | Sitting below a five-storey mixed-use development known as Crossrail Place, the new Canary Wharf station helps connect this key business district to the City of London, the West End, and Heathrow. At the same time, it acts as a bridge between two communities - the Canary Wharf Estate and Poplar to the north. The journey to the Elizabeth line is a simple one: two promenade level entranceways each have four escalators and a lift which connects to the ticket hall. From the ticket hall, a further nine escalators and two lifts enable access to the over 240 metre-long platforms. Glass-protected large openings in the floor between the ticket hall and platform help guide customers where they need to go. The journey from the train to the street is one of dark to light, with darker colours on the platform leading to lighter materials in the ticket hall and daylight from the entranceways. The colour yellow is used as an intuitive wayfinding measure within the station - you’ll notice it on all the vertical movement elements such as lifts and escalators.Join Michael Gore, Associate Principal at Adamson Associates, to learn more about some of the challenges of building in a dock, how the building has been designed with a nautical reference, and how the station helps guide you to where you need to go.

Delivering the Elizabeth line Crossrail Project 2022-06-30 | The Elizabeth line is the most significant addition to London’s transport network in a generation, but the impact of the railway extends beyond London and the South East. People in every region of the UK have helped to deliver the Elizabeth line. The impact of the Crossrail project on the UK economy and employment has shown that businesses from around the UK have benefitted from work connected to the delivery of the Elizabeth line. This reach includes companies from Glasgow, Cardiff, Dromore in Northern Ireland, and Bolton in the northwest of England.- 96 per cent of contracts awarded went to companies within the UK- 62 per cent of suppliers were based outside of London- 62 per cent of Tier 1 suppliers and 72 per cent of Tier 2 suppliers have been SMEsDuring construction, the Crossrail project supported tens of thousands of jobs all around the UK. Hundreds more will be employed by TfL, MTR Elizabeth line, and the wider supply chain in the operation and maintenance of the new railway.Our thanks to all those who have contributed to the delivery of the Elizabeth line, and in particular our suppliers in this video: Laing O’Rourke, Costain, Balfour Beatty, Ferrovial, Knorr-Bremse, FUTURE Designs, Booth Industries, Arup, Siemens Mobility, Hawkins\Brown, Alstom, and Bechtel.Video released in 2022

Design & Architecture: Liverpool Street Elizabeth line station Crossrail Project 2022-04-28 | Nestled in one of the City’s leading financial centres, surrounded by a continually evolving landscape of new buildings, the design for Liverpool Street Elizabeth line station makes the most of what little space is available. Stretching from Moorgate in the west to Broadgate in the east, the two Elizabeth line ticket halls are connected by mined platforms over 200 metres long and a central concourse. At Broadgate, the ticket hall entrance is through a striking, five-metre tall glass canopy that filters natural light into the station during the day, and acts as a lantern at night. At Moorgate the 65-metre wide entrance is framed by angled blue glass. The ticket halls provide direct interchange with the Northern, Central, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, as well as National Rail services to Stansted and Southend airports. Both ticket halls feature an architectural design that helps to maximise height. A shallow, folded ceiling made of concrete breaks the perception of low flat ceilings to create a greater sense of space, scale and movement. Outside the station new pedestrian-friendly, accessible spaces allow people to gather and dwell whilst maintaining clear pedestrian flows in and out of the station. Join Oliver Tyler, Director at Wilkinson Eyre to learn more about how the station has been designed to maximise light and space, and has a unified architectural design.

Design & Architecture: Line-wide design Crossrail Project 2022-04-27 | An important part of the Elizabeth line design principles was a shared design language between stations, with common materials and components. In the new mined stations below central London, you’ll notice large tunnelled spaces, much larger than what you will find across most of the rest of the transport network. These spaces are clad with glass fibre reinforced concrete, leaving smooth, sweeping curved edges that promote intuitive wayfinding and reduce blind spots for passengers. In each of the new underground stations full-height platform edge screens with integrated doors on the platform and totems in concourse spaces provide lighting, signage, speakers, CCTV and more, de-cluttering these spaces and providing a quality environment for passengers. Other components, such as the iconic purple Elizabeth line roundel, seating, handrails, and more are common features across the entire line. Join Neill McClements, Director at Grimshaw and Julian Maynard, Director at Maynard Design to learn more about how the line-wide design helps give Elizabeth line stations a familiar identity, and how totems and platform screens help to de-clutter stations, improving the passenger experience.

Design & Architecture: Custom House Elizabeth line station Crossrail Project 2022-04-13 | Bound by the DLR and ExCeL London on one side, high voltage cables above and Victoria Dock Road to the other side, Custom House #Elizabethline station had to fit into a complex site. The simple design takes inspiration from a Greek temple, with a long row of columns and beams. Access to the station is via an elevated bridge connecting Victoria Dock Road, the DLR and ExCeL London and the upper-level concourse is deliberately open-sided to give a sense of safety and security. The station has been designed with a slight angle of 18 degrees, which matches the angle of the existing topography and road network. The columns, ceilings and paving are all parallelograms. Join Robert Maxwell, Partner at Allies and Morrison to learn more about how the station has been designed and built in a way that combats substantial engineering challenges, producing a simple legible building.

Design & Architecture: Paddington Elizabeth line station Crossrail Project 2022-02-24 | The design of the Elizabeth line station at Paddington was inspired by the work of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Matthew Digby Wyatt in the Grade I listed mainline station. The new station incorporates the DNA of their original grand design, with a build based on Brunel’s 10-foot grid pattern, and a design that makes the most of daylight; resulting in a contemporary and elegant addition to the mainline building.Key to the Elizabeth line’s presence in the area is a new urban realm running the length of the mainline station in Departures Road. This urban realm features seating beneath a 120-metre-long glazed canopy, information screens, improved access to the mainline station through existing and new archways, and buses and taxis on Eastbourne Terrace. Join Rob Naybour, Founding Partner, and Raffaela Rospo, Senior Associate from Weston Williamson + Partners to learn more about how the station has been designed as a bright and easy to navigate space, with design elements inspired by the historic Brunel and Wyatt mainline station.
