FLUX 2010 prize-winner

Horgen railway station has been awarded the FLUX prize. This year’s theme was “during the night”. The transport hub offers optimum conditions during the night. The station’s newly revamped infrastructure with its slick connections and clear, light design impressed the specialist jury, turning Horgen into a role model for night-time transport.

The extremely short distances between the various modes of transport offered at Horgen was one of the reasons for its success. The upgrade to the main station road (Bahnhofstrasse) including a meeting zone and new transport system also impressed the judges. The colourful and innovative design of the area by artist Platino produced the much publicized face of the town. The successful redesign of the bus terminal and the bicycle parking area also impressed the jury. Providing information for night-time passengers is a particular challenge. Further improvements are being implemented in this area in Horgen.
