Abstract This study examines how urban axes, Pedestrian, Ecological, and Functional, are translated into architectural elements during the design process, focusing on Stuttgart Main Station(SMS). By analyzing official documents including S21, Green-U, and Rahmenplan-IBA27, an analytical framework was developed to trace how each axis is reflected in design outcomes. The findings show that the Pedestrian Axis restores urban continuity by lowering above-ground tracks and integrating transfer and pedestrian flows; the Ecological Axis builds a climate-responsive network through wind corridors, elevated green spaces, and natural ventilation systems; and the Functional Axis expands urban activity by linking the new and old station structures with the Rosenstein area through mixed-use development. Together, the three axes operate as a complementary system addressing urban discontinuity, environmental and climate needs, and functional expansion, ultimately forming a mediating structure between policy, urban planning, and architectural design. The study provides foundational insights for railway-station-centered urban integration and data-driven design strategies.
