Offener zweiphasiger Ideenwettbewerb
Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Network Rail ruft in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) und dem Design Museum (London) zur Einreichung von Vorschlägen für die Gestaltung eines Zeitmessers auf, der die Fahrzeiten im gesamten britischen Eisenbahnnetz anzeigt und vermittelt.
Network Rail hat sich bewusst dafür entschieden, den allgemeinen Begriff "Zeitmesser" anstelle von "Uhr" für die Anzeige und Messung der Zeit in einem Raum, an der Wand eines Gebäudes oder auf einem Computerbildschirm zu verwenden. Network Rail möchte die Konventionen und Konnotationen vermeiden, die mit der Bezeichnung solcher Instrumente als "Uhren" verbunden sind. Mit dem Ideenwettbewerb möchte Network Rail erforschen und hinterfragen, wie die Zeit und das Vergehen der Zeit im britischen Eisenbahnnetz am besten dargestellt werden kann.
Network Rail hat eine neue Beschilderung, die seine neue Schriftart Rail Alphabet 2 verwendet. Allerdings verfügt es derzeit nicht über ein einheitliches Design für die Anzeige und Kommunikation der Zeit im gesamten Schienennetz und den damit verbundenen bedeutenden baulichen Anlagen. Network Rail sucht daher nach innovativen Ansätzen für die Bereitstellung einer neuen Reihe von Zeitmessgeräten zur Anzeige und Kommunikation der Zeit.
Bei der zukünftigen Designentwicklung müssen die siegreichen Vorschläge für den Zeitmesser skalierbar und anpassungsfähig sein, so dass sie potenziell (in verschiedenen Konfigurationen) in einem breiten Spektrum unterschiedlicher Formate, Verwendungen, Kontexte und Umgebungen eingesetzt werden können. Dazu gehört auch der Einsatz in der geplanten neuen Generation kleiner bis mittelgroßer modularer Bahnhöfe (die zusammen mit ihrer Verbindung zu den Gemeinden des 21. Jahrhunderts im Mittelpunkt des Network Rail-Wettbewerbs 2020 Re-Imagining Railway Stations standen). Dies war der zweite Designwettbewerb, den Network Rail in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Royal Institute of British Architects durchführte, und folgte auf einen 2018 durchgeführten Wettbewerb für das Design einer neuen Generation von barrierefreien Fußgängerbrücken. Diese wettbewerbsgesteuerten Initiativen sind alle Teil des erneut bekräftigten Engagements von Network Rail für gutes Design und die konsequente Umsetzung von exzellentem Design im gesamten britischen Eisenbahnnetz.
Competition assignment
Network Rail, working in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Design Museum (London), invites proposals for the design of a timepiece to display and communicate time across the UK national rail network.
Network Rail has purposefully elected to use the generic term ‘timepiece’ rather than ‘clock’ for indicating and measuring time in a room, on the wall of a building, or on a computer screen. Network Rail wishes to avoid the conventions and connotations associated with referring to such instruments as ‘clocks’. Through the design ideas competition process, Network Rail is seeking to explore and interrogate how time and the passage of time is best depicted on the UK national railway.
Network Rail has new wayfinding that uses its new Rail Alphabet 2 typeface. However, it does not currently have a unified design for the display and communication of time across the rail network and associated significant built environment estate. Network Rail is accordingly seeking innovative approaches for the provision of a new suite of timepieces to display and communicate time.
With future design development, the winning proposals for the timepiece will need to be scalable and adaptable, such that they can be potentially deployed (in various configurations) across a wide range of different formats, uses, contexts and settings. This will include deployment at the planned new generation of small to medium-sized modular railway stations (which together with their connection to 21st Century communities) were the focus of Network Rail’s 2020 Re-Imagining Railway Stations competition. This was the second design competition run by Network Rail in association with the Royal Institute of British Architects and followed a 2018 competition for the design of a new generation of accessible footbridges. These competition-led initiatives all form part of Network Rail’s re-affirmed commitment to good design and the consistent delivery of excellent ordinary across the UK rail network.
