Synopsis :

This books presents a history of the railway station, from the Gare de L’Est in Paris of the 1850s 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. Spanning over 100 years of innovative design, this volume provides an overview of a building type that has long captured the imagination of architects and non-architects alike
