What will the Rail Baltica future infrastructure look like?
Visualisations of the infrastructure elements are a part of
a larger project implemented by RB Rail AS in partnership with an Italian
architectural and design company 3TI Progetti. During this project, 3TI
Progetti developed architectural, landscaping and visual identity design
guidelines for the entire Rail Baltica network. These guidelines provide
harmonised solutions for the infrastructure elements to be applied in all three
Baltic States.
Importantly, during the preparation of the network identity,
numerous stakeholder groups were involved to capture their expertise and to
identify their expectations regarding the visual appearance of the Rail Baltica
infrastructure. Those included architects, landscape architects, universities,
railway administrators and municipalities in all three Baltic States.
Furthermore, RB Rail AS explored and addressed the needs of various passenger
groups including people with reduced mobility, parents with young infants and
senior citizens to ensure that the Rail Baltica infrastructure will be
accessible and safe for all passengers.
Agnis Driksna, acting CEO of RB Rail AS says: “Architectural
and visual guidelines aim to provide railway designers and architects with
clear instructions on how to ensure a common identity to all the elements of
the railway network. It was a challenging task, but we have managed to align
different expectations and ambitions of each country into a common approach
which defines the identity of the Rail Baltica network”.
