Více o knize

Contemporary train stations are hubs of mobility, urban centers, meeting places, shopping centers and providers of an ever-broadening range of services and leisure activities. Not just stops along the stages of a journey, they often function as a city's most emblematic public place and carry strong social and emotional significance for those who live there and travelers alike. This volume features spectacular new train station buildings throughout Germany, designed by recognized architects. It also pays special attention to restoration work on historical stations since the 1990s and responds to social mega-trends, offering a detailed introduction to less well-known projects as well as ideas for the modernization of smaller stations-providing a host of innovative ideas for the future.
