Résumé

Similar in format to the successful Electa Architecture title, Twenty Houses by Twenty Architects, this book presents a history of the railway station, from the Gare de L'Est in Paris of the 1950s to the striking proposal by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's for a new Pennsylvania Station in New York City at the end of the 1990s.

The author's introduction provides an overview of the history of railway architecture, citing its most significant developments. Individual project documentation begins with the Gare de L'Est, the first major railway station of the nineteenth century. The elegant Grand Central Terminal in New York City, of 1903-13, is documented through archival material, including engineering drawings and period and contemporary photographs.

Other striking stations featured include the Santa Justa station in Seville by Antonia Cruz and Antonio Oritz, a station in Kyoto by Hiroshi Hara, the Lyon TGV Station by Santiago Calatrava, and the Arnham Station by Dutch architects Ben von Berkel and Caroline Bos of UN Studio, one of today's leading design firms.
