This unique appraisal of contemporary railway stations and termini looks at over 20 new railway stations from around the world, including Waterloo International Station, Lyon Airport Railway Station and Lille-Europe. Using the latest techniques and materials a new generation of architects and engineers are creating some of the most dramatic spaces in western architecture. Marcus Binney highlights a wide-range of stations, including recently completed stations, the impressive reuse of stations and stations now being built in the UK, Europe and Hong Kong. He examines projects by leading architects such as Nicholas Grimshaw, Santiago Calatrava, Andreu and Rice, Ove Arup, Terry Farrell, Sir Norman Foster and partners, and Sterling & Wilford. The material is set within the great historic context of the 19th century and early 20th century stations and in a major historical introduction sets the stage for informed appraisal of the new works worldwide.
