Serving as gateways to the cities, train stations were the most important urban building developments at the turn of the 20th century. On a world-wide basis new facilities are emerging that need to fulfill various functions very often they have to serve as shopping malls. One century later this building mission is experiencing a fascinating renaissance.
They also have an important influence on the urban identity. However, even small stations for regional trains, subways and trams belong to the past, if they are purpose-built only. Just like the larger facilities, they have to be able to develop in a confined space and in a historically often densely built-up environment.
70 international projects were chosen to present current station architecture both in terms of long distance traffic as well as local transportation structures, including underground systems.
