Appreciation towards Ilex Paysages & Urbanisme for providing the following description:

查尔斯火车站是马赛重要的交通设施，其日益加重的地位需要火车站前需要一个大广场，适应火车站规模和功能并展现出良好的风貌。

火车站前的坡面被三个主要的平台划分，每个平台用当地的石灰石铺就，植被采用的是耐旱植被，树荫下有舒适的休憩座位。这是一个庄重优雅的多功能流动空间。

St Charles station is one of Marseille’s major infrastructure facilities. Its dominant location was recently accentuated by the addition of a monumental concourse, which enhanced its scale, image and functions. The design had to take into account the numerous functional constraints that are inevitably associated with such projects. But this has not prevented the treatment of the space from remaining on the human scale.

Vegetation has been reintroduced into what was a somewhat arid cityscape, providing shade for a vantage point that looks out over the city, with spaces for rest amid bubbling fountains. The project uses local limestone in a homogeneous manner, conferring sobriety, elegance and distinctiveness on a space characterized by fluidity.
