Description: The railway architecture created over the last decade has quietly undergone an exciting transformation as a greater emphasis has been placed upon efficient and modern public transportation systems. In this selection of projects by European architects, both built and currently under construction, including Waterloo International Terminal, Roissy, Lisbon Expo 98 and Lyon Satolas, Marcus Binney illustrates the complex range of factors explored in the creation of this new architecture of rail.
