The Guangzhou Station project was a competition winning scheme designed by Terry Farrell Partnership / Farrells Ltd in collaboration with The Fourth Railway Survey & Design Institute, and the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design.

The design’s primary brief was to connect the districts of Guangzhou and Foshan to either side of the station, and the opportunity to create a ‘garden station’ which could act as a catalyst for an entirely new urban area. The masterplan addressed both districts with the creation of two landscaped urban plazas constituting the entrances to the station, with the tracks elevated to allow free pedestrian access through the landscaped arrival concourse. Another important primary driver behind the design was the desire to keep the space as column free as possible.

In addition to its train services, the station was intended as a significant interchange to other modes of transport, including taxi, car, metro and bus. Metro lines and concourse comprised two basement levels, with all other arrivals situated at ground level. Departures occur from an elevated concourse with waiting rooms and clear views to the 28 platforms below.

A collection of working drawings for stages of archiectural project. They are assumed to consist of tender and/or construction plans, sections and elevations with associated revisions. This file has not yet been catalogued at item level.

In 2000, Terry Farrell & Partners won the appointment to design a £100 million public building in Guangzhou housing both the headquarters building of China's then largest newspaper publisher, the Guangzhou Daily News, as well as cultural and commercial activities. The design was a large-scale scheme for a 250,000 square metre public arts complex that integrated a constructed building with a 1 hectare public plaza, a library, an exhibition hall, an arts centre, a five-star hotel, and retail space which included an ice-skating rink and IMAX cinema complex.

The design concept was based on two interlocking geometric shapes which formed the basis of the building's three main components: a raised cube formed by two angled towers, an L-shaped block, and a podium at ground level. The distinctive form grew out of manipulating blocks in such a way that a corner was extracted from the cube and lifted vertically, creating a grand public square below, described as the 'city room'.

The original plan was for the building to be a partnership between Farrell and a state-run Chinese design institute, with Farrell & Partners handing over responsibility halfway through the working drawing stage. However, in 2002 the practice lost the commission following changes in the developer’s brief for the site’s use. At this point the brief focused on developing a commercial building.

This report, which followed a public consultation on advice and information for children and young people on the effects of alcohol facilitated by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, consists of a review of the scientific evidence from these findings. It offered evidence based advice for children, their parents and health professionals and makes recommendations for an alcohol free childhood.

This report consists of supplementary tables of empirical evidence supporting the findings and recommendations made in the main report Guidance on the consumption of alcohol by children and young people . Tables include studies carried out, methods, participants and results and were split into categories covering effects of alcohol consumption on development, risk and protective factors, and acute and longer-term consequences of adolescent alcohol consumption.
