The Green Line

Preface

The most populous region in Israel, the Tel Aviv Metropolitan area is home to 3.9 million people, accounting for 45% of Israel’s population. It is the financial hub of the country, where 50% of the country’s overall population is employed. Not only popular amongst Israeli natives, in addition, over 1.7 million tourists visit Tel Aviv each year. The Green Line will serve as an integral part of the up and coming Tel Aviv Metropolitan area Mass Transit System, which intends to be the preferred form of transportation for the public when complete. Connecting the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern parts of the Metropolitan area to the Tel Aviv city center, the Green Line will also be an engine for economic growth and urban renewal. Its completion is also a step in strengthening the region’s social fabric while improving the quality of life as well as the environment itself. This document serves as a design guide for the Green Line Underground Stations, aiming at achieving good design from entrance to platform. Through good design, it is possible to achieve both a functional, yet detail oriented station that will influence the user’s quality of travel and overall experience. This Design Manual intends to bring good design to the forefront, while honoring the functional requirements and details necessary to make a station work.

Urban Impact The Green Line is a light rail line that will operate in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. The line will connect the southern portions of the Gush Dan metropolitan area (Holon and the outskirts of Rishon Lezion) with the city of Tel Aviv, as well as provide connection to other future lines in the planed mass transit system. Only 4 of the 61 stations on the Green Line are underground (4.5km of the line’s total span of 39km). Those 4 underground stations are: Carlebach, Kaplan, Rabin, and Arlozorov West. The focus of this guide are the 3 Underground Stations that are part of the Green Line project. The Green Line platform at Carlebach Interchange Station is to be designed as part of the Look & Feel of the Red Line. The urban impact that inserting such a complex infrastructure into the center of a city creates cannot be ignored. Since the construction and eventual realization of the stations will have such a great influence on the City of Tel Aviv, we felt strongly to interrupt the natural flow of the city in the most efficient, minimal, yet beneficial way possible. All of the station entrances aim to be sensitive to their location, draw from the city's culture and architectural heritage – and are elegant yet minimal, impactful yet stealth – whether they be located in public squares or on the sides of the street, the entrances will become iconic to Tel Aviv’s ever-evolving identity.

Laskov Entrance

Kaplan Station

Toscanini Entrance

Situated in the city center of Tel Aviv, Kaplan Station is conveniently located on Ibn Gabirol Street, and spans between Laskov and Kaplan Streets. It is surrounded by some of Tel Aviv's most iconic landmarks, including Rothschild Boulevard, Habima Square, The Helena Rubinstein Pavilion of Contemporary Art and The Habima Theatre. This area of Tel Aviv, known as the heart of the city, is full of culture and art, amazing restaurants, and true Tel Avivian spirit. The three entrances to Kaplan Station aim to embody these values. ·· Laskov Entrance

The Southern most entrance, Laskov Entrance, is situated on the corner of Laskov St and Ibn Gabirol. It is defined as a "Street" Entrance given it's layout parallel to Laskov St, as well as it's proximity to the surrounding buildings and street traffic.

·· Toscanini Entrance

Kaplan Entrance

The central entrance, Toscanini, is situated on a quiet street perpendicular to Ibn Gabirol St. It is directly in front of the Habima Theatre and Habima Square, and will be an important junction for people coming and going from events held there. It is considered an "Urban Infill" Type of station because it lies between residential buildings and creates it's own small urban park based on it's placement. In order to give back to those residing in the vicinity of the entrance, a small park has been designated as well as a green roof on top of the station canopy to add greenery and plant life.

·· Kaplan Entrance

The Northern most entrance, Kaplan Entrance, is situated on the corner of Kaplan St and Ibn Gabirol. It is defined as a "Street" Entrance given it's layout parallel to Kaplan St, as well as it's proximity to the surrounding buildings and street traffic. 22

Legend - Entrance Types Public Square Urban Infill Street

David Hamelech Entrance

Rabin Station Rabin Station lies on Ibn Gabirol Street, in front of one of the most important landmarks in Tel Aviv: Kikar Rabin, or Rabin Square. A large public city square in the heart of the city of Tel Aviv, Rabin Square is more than just a memorial site to Israels former Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. Over the years, Rabin Square has been the site of many major public events, including everything from political rallies, protests, demonstrations, to parades, concerts, and more. The brutalist style Tel Aviv City Hall building also resides on the site, on the northern most edge of the square. The building's facade is often used to convey messages to the public that respond to events in the city or even globally, with it's dynamic light display. Rabin Station is comprised of two entrances: 路路 David Hamelech Entrance

The David Hamelech Entrance is located on the corner of David Hamelech St and Ibn Gabirol, and is oriented perpendicular to Rabin Square. It's orientation provides a clear sight-line to the Square, aiding in the user's orientation once they exit from the Station. It is considered a "street" entrance due to it's layout parallel to David Hamelech St. as well as it's proximity to the surrounding buildings and street.

Rabin Square Entrance

路路 Rabin Square Entrance

The Rabin Square Entrance sits within Rabin Square itself. It's location, while incredibly important to the urban renewal of the site, is also extremely sensitive due to it's proximity to the Holocaust memorial. The entrance design includes a reworking of the site, turning the existing fish pond into a revibed ecological pool. This entrance is anticipated to be one of, if not the most high traffic junctions on the Green Line (within Tel Aviv), it is considered to be a "Public Square" type entrance.

Station Design Principles 56

In This Section

• Station Design Principles • Design Principle Diagrams • Exterior Design Principles • Interior Design Principles

Station Design Principles The Station Design Principles of the Green Line Underground Stations were developed as building blocks for creating the best possible spaces within the challenges and limitations of the complexity of the project. The principles are based on an architectural design philosophy which provides reliable, efficient, economical, safe, accessible, and attractive facilities for the general public and ensures an architectural design excellence to make a positive contribution to the urban environment. These principles are apparent throughout the project, and are further defined by the following: Entrance Locations:

Entrance Concept:

Station Levels:

Concourse Concept:

Station Layout:

Platform Concept:

→ The location of entrances leads passengers to Ibn Gabirol street. The position and layout of the entrances does not exceed the storefront line of Ibn Gabirol, lending to the openness of the wide, un-interrupted pedestrian and bicycle paths along this street.

→ Stations are comprised of the following levels: Entrances at street level, Concourse levels including the unpaid and paid areas, and Platform levels including the trackways and passenger platforms.

→ Stations are efficient and maximize sightlines throughout the interior layout. → Stations facilitate efficient passenger flows under normal and emergency circumstances.

→ Station entrances are open structures that are minimalistic entities, responsive to their surroundings and location. → Each entrance/canopy design is site-specific. This identifies the entrance and provides it with a design that benefits from it's location while providing a positive contribution to the urban context. → The concourse level layouts allow for optimum user convenience and efficiency, the material choices and intentional decisions to keep these spaces clear of distractions such as advertisements aids in the user’s orientation and awareness. → The stations have a center platform configuration which is highlighted by the large double height opening connecting to the concourse level. These spaces are simple yet informative, with distinctive wayfinding opportunities and lighting features to aid in user orientation and accessibility. 60

Obstruction Free Ibn Gabirol: Entrances are strategically planned to allow Ibn Gabirol to be unobstructed. Their layout, which always leads towards the street, does not excdeed the storefront line of the street. This lends to the openness of the wide, un-interrupted pedestrian and bicycle paths present on this street.

Diagrams Station Design Principles

Concourse Level: Entrances

Concourse Level: Passageways + Entrances

Station Layout: The concourse space is defined by one end of the space being positioned along the shortest connection between two of the entrances, as well as the elevators to the platform level being positioned at the opposite end of the space, allowing for maximum visible public space.

Sustainable

Sensible

These principles are key to creating memorable spaces. They can be combined with creativity and technicality to enhance the spaces, especially in the dark, undergound stations.

U-bahn Subway, Munich, Germany

The Importance of Good Lighting Lighting is more than just a functional element in design. Good lighting can dramatically enhance spaces and transform architecture into a memorable experience.

Citybanan Station, Stockholm, Sweden

The naturally dark underground stations provide opportunities to use lighting that can influence spaces in the following ways: • Creating positive emotional responses • Making people feel safe and uplifted • Increasing the overall quality of a space • Providing emphasis and highlights to certain features • Aiding in orientation and wayfinding • Creating memorable moments Lighting should be integrated into the design of the spaces as an important layer that will ultimately enhance the user's experience while also aiding in functionality. It is important to think of lighting as something that is qualitative rather than quantitative: it should never be over used. It is not acceptable to over-light a space, similarly to how it is unacceptable to under-light one. In both instances, the spaces can seem uncomfortable or challenging in their own way.

Metro, Hamburg, Germany 122

Layer 1 : Ambient (Average 100 lx/min 50 lx)

Layer 2 : Accent (300 lx)

The ambient layer is the basic layer of light that provides functional and safe lighting throughout the space.

The accent layer lies on top of the ambient layer, as an additional lighting source to provide visual emphasis on distinct surfaces. It allows for important areas such as ticket vending machines, or ticket validators, to be hightlighted, which aid in user orientation.

An initial base level of illumination throughout the station ensures that the space is lit properly - providing a safe and comfortable space for passengers to travel through.

Accent lighting should be used to create visual hierarchy, increasing light levels in key areas and on key surfaces to draw passenger focus.

Layers of Light At a Glance

Layer 3 : Orientation (100 lx / 200 lx)

Layer 4 : Feature (300 lx)

Orientation lighting aids in wayfinding and helps the user orient themselves in the space, drawing their path from one point to the next.

Feature lighting creates an extra layer of interest, through the use of a variety of creative lighting techniques, it helps to create a focal point and add visual stimulation.

Use orientation lighting to delineate spaces, while aiding customer navigation and wayfinding. By highlighting destination points such as circulation elements and passageways, orientation lighting provides a visual hierarchy to clarify the elements of the space and aid the flow of customers.

Feature lighting can also contribute to the other lighting layers. It is important to highlight key areas and celebrate special moments in the space with feature lighting.

Lighting Intentions At a Glance

Passageways: Use feature lighting in the form of colored LEDs to wash the tunnels in an ever-changing color scheme that can match advertisements, or public events in the urban area.

Concourses: Large linear lights add to the wholeness of the design while aiding in ambient and feature layers of light.

Vertical Circulation: Integrate lighting into the sides of the escalators to provide a base level of illumination. Use concealed lighting above elevators and signage to emphasize key locations in the station.

Platforms: Use an integrated light strip on the platform level to aid in wayfinding signage as well as provide visual interest.

Entries/Exits: Use lighting in these spaces to help users adjust from natural light to artificial light, as well as guide them towards information.

Dramatic changes in levels of light can be uncomfortable to the human eye. It is important to take lighting levels into consideration that when transitioning from the Grade Level to the Concourse Level, and vice-versa. By spreading large changes in light levels over reasonable distances, the human eye will have the right amount of time to adapt to these transitions. Lighting at the top of the vertical circulation elements (closer to Grade), should be brighter than at the bottom (closer to the Concourse). This change in lighting levels aids to the user's orientation as well as helps their eyes adapt from natural to artificial light properly. The Entrance Canopies provide further adjustment to the naturaly harsh exterior light by providing shade throughout the travel out of the entrance wing and onto the street level.

The Green Line won't shut down once the sun goes down, so lighting technologies should be taken into consideration for the stations for both exterior and interior spaces.

Interactive Lighting: ··

Station exteriors should be well lit, as these are public destinations within the city, the lighting here at night aids in user safety as well as orientation.

•

Lighting for station exteriors is not limited to the station canopies themselves - the surrounding landscape should also be lit properly.

•

Create dynamic spaces that respond to everything from time of day to events in the city by using colored LED lighting technologies.

Lighting Intentions The Green Line at Night

Energy Conservation:

Orientation:

•

Use absence-linked dimming to save energy in un-manned, and off-limits areas of the Stations.

Aid the users orientation and interest in the space by using different technologies such as color changing LED lights.

•

Draw attention to important areas in the station such as vertical circulation elements in a different way than during the day.
