2 Gare de Lille-Europe Place François Mittérand 1 Lille-Europe is a railway station in which is primarily used for high-speed Eurostar and TGV services The station was built in 1993 to be used as a through station for trains between the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands, except those coming from Paris which normally terminate at Lille Flandres There is a 500 m walking distance between the two stations Lille-Europe is part of the larger EuraLille masterplan by The main feature of the Lille-Europe station is its open perspective on the city Architects at Agence des Gares (SNCF) designed the building as a long, three-level balcony looking out over the city protected by high glass walls covered with a great wave-like expanse of metal, interestingly called 'the flying carpet' Rem Koolhaas, the Dutch architect who planned the adjoining Euralille business district, suggested that the moving trains should be on view because he wanted each TGV arrival to be a memorable event (Japan Railway Review 28) Main designer, Architect Urban planner Structural engineer AREP Ingérop SNCF ticket office is open Mondays to Saturdays from 05:45 to 22:00 On Sundays and national holidays it is open from 07:30 to 22:00 2

3 EuraLille masterplan Euralille Lille The 1989 Euralille plan consist of + 800,000 meters squared of urban activities This project is based on the hypothesis that the 'experience' of Europe will change beyond recognition through the combined impact of the tunnel that links Britain and the Europe, and the extension of the French TGV network to include London The plan also delineates links to public transportation facilities, the layout of the public spaces, the street layout, parking facilities, the conversion of the périphérique (ring road) into an underpass, and the areas between and bordering the elements of the plan The existing infrastructure is emphatically visible in what Koolhaas calls the "Piranesian space", an area 'cut out' of the parking garage which reveals the complexity of the infrastructure by simultaneously offering a view of the motorway, over the train station and subway and into the garage By partially opening up the tunnel tube, the TGV is visible from the city Floor area/size m² Architect, Urban planner SAEM EURALILLE 3

4 EuraLille shopping mall Av Willy Brandt The triangle of the stations is a complex which groups together on one site the Euralille shopping centre, housing, a business school, offices, a hotel, concert halls The high-tech grouping is used as a busy transition between the two stations from Lille Europe and Lille Flandres As on other projects Jean Nouvel played with graphics and lights and pushed the industrial typified external vertical circulations forward 1994 Main designer, Architect Urban planner Roof & facade consultant Structural engineer Jean Nouvel Jean-Louis Besnard OTH Nord, Projetud private Daily 8:30h - 22:00h train to station Lille-Flandres or Lille-Europe, Métro lines 1 and 2, Tram lines R and T 4

5 Tour de Lille Boulevard de Turin 140 This office building in an Urban Plan by Rem Koolhaas was programmed as a bridge across the TGV railway station A direct line, at the same time bridge and tower, a great angle drawn up towards the sky creates an enigmatic presence which floats on the city In EuraLille, Rem Koolhaas imagined a series of towers of 120 meters spanning the railway tracks and giving the TGV station an air of freedom thanks to a square which descends through The tower, detached, is in suspension No edge is parallel to another The building defies parallelism on all its faces, which disturbs ones perception, what can one make of its logic, its height, its coordinates It is like an object in levitation Project is not public! 1995 Architect Christian de Portzamparc Crédit-Lyonnais 5

6 Espace Piranesien Boulevard de Turin Architect and painter, Jean Pattou has delivered a huge fresco inspired by the works of Piranesi to decorate the concrete walls of the metro station Lille-Europe by OMA, in the railway station serving the Lille-Europe station On three walls of 50 m by 18 m from this place of transit and interconnection between cities, Jean Pattou represented a dreamlike vision of London, Brussels, Barcelona, Athens, New York, The artist has firstly done his work in a smaller format The image was scanned, then enlarged and "developed" on huge sheets that are attached to walls by rails The architectural space itself was designed by OMA as part of the EuraLille masterplan 1995 Architect Artist Jean Pattou 6

7 Lille Grand Palais Boulevard des Cités-Unies Lille Within OMA's own masterplan for Euralille, they designed their own building on a site separated from the station and the commercial centre by the railroad tracks Congrexpo is 300 metres long and has a very diagrammatic organization, with three major components: Zénith Arena, a 5,000-seat concert hall; Congress, a conference centre with three major auditoriums; and Expo, a 20,000m2 exposition hall In the east-west direction, each of these components can be used independently, but openings between the components make it possible to use the building as a single entity on the north-south axis, to mix programs, to generate hybrids There are two huge metal doors between Zenith and Expo that can close or open, and if they open the separate parts become one, so you can also think of it as a theatre with a 200-meter deep backstage, or any other combination of these parts Architect, Urban planner 7
