历经三轮角逐，于2001年5月至9月举办的上海南站项目竞标已经落幕，AREP和ECADI共同赢得了该项目的最终胜利。全新的上海南站设计将带领火车站从传统的搭乘换乘枢纽，向城市经济、金融、文化和创意的参与者的角色转变。

An international competition for the Shanghai-South station took place from May to September 2001, over 3 different phases. AREP and ECADI won this competition jointly. With its design, the Shanghai South station goes beyond the traditional function of the railway station as a mere exchange hub, to become an active participant in the role of Shanghai as an economic, financial, cultural and creative world class city.

作为城市旅行的目的地，这里为旅人和游客提供高端零售商店等多种服务设施。环形的设计让车站内部运行简单而直接，即良好的外部交通组织，顺畅合理的步行交通引向和规划。零售商店和服务设施位于距地面9.90米水平层面，候车区位于距地面7.50米水平层面。在此规划下，车站内部如阶梯教室般，使内部空间组织和车辆停靠区域一目了然。

A destination in itself, the station provides travellers and visitors alike many services as well as prestigious retail spaces. Its circular form allows for a simple and straightforward operational mode: it provides good circulation conditions to vehicles, and it offers travellers the most direct and logic way to waiting rooms and platforms. The slight difference of level between the different services and retail spaces located on level 9.90 m and the waiting rooms on level 7.50 m, creates a large amphitheatre-like open space from which all the station is visible, and all functions and circulation patterns are understood, from cars drop-off to trains.

该车站最引人注目的莫过于直径255米的屋顶。尽管该屋顶面积达60000平方米，它仍然维持轻盈的体态，承担了整个项目中最优雅的角色。该屋顶由三个不同的层面构成：外部遮阳板，透明聚碳酸酯表面和内部穿孔金属层。这三层材料的组合使屋面具备滤光功能，自然光在建筑内部展开柔和的漫反射。

The most striking architectural element is the 255 m diameter roof, which, despite an area of 60 000 m², still remains a light, slender and elegant element of the project. It is composed of three different layers: the external sun breakers, the transparent polycarbonate surface and the internal perforated metal skin. The combination of those three layers filters and diffuses natural light throughout the space.

玻璃（透明或压纹）、透明塑料元件，穿孔钢板或拉丝铝等材料的使用，使车站展现出半透明的样貌，既轻巧又现代。

Using materials such as glass (transparent or pattern printed), transparent polycarbonate elements, perforated steel or brushed aluminium to achieve a play of transparency, gives the station both lightness and a modern expression.

照明系统是车站内部设计的重要组成部分。室内灯管按照精确严格的网格均布在车站屋顶上，使室内各处均获得充足的光照。隐藏式灯光布置在楼板和屋顶下方，使车站即便在夜间也能营造出明亮的氛围。定向照明进一步强调了屋顶的结构，并赋予建筑充分的表现力。

The lighting principles of the station constitute an essential design element. Light poles are distributed evenly over the station according to a rigorous and precise grid, in order to obtain a homogeneous light. The use of concealed lighting, lamps trained directly on the under-face of slabs and roofs, guarantees that the station remains a bright beacon at night. Directional lighting is used in order to put a strong emphasis on the roof structure and gives it its full architectural expression.

城市，地区以及远途交通在此汇聚。全新的上海南站已不仅仅是一个简单的交通枢纽，它更像是迎接外宾的城市大门。

Urban, regional, as well as long distance means of transportation all converge towards Shanghai-South station, which in turn becomes more than a simple hub, and fully assumes its role as the City of Shanghai South Gate.
