The latest edition of Dezeen's weekly newsletter, Dezeen Agenda, spotlights the newly completed Gare de Mons railway station in Belgium, designed by renowned Swiss-Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The striking transportation hub represents a significant addition to Belgium's architectural landscape and demonstrates Calatrava's signature style of combining functionality with dramatic structural design.
Calatrava has completed the impressive Gare de Mons station, which features a 165-meter-long glass and steel structure that elegantly traverses both railway platforms and bus stops. The design showcases the architect's characteristic approach to transportation architecture, creating a seamless integration between different modes of public transit while maintaining his distinctive aesthetic vision of flowing, organic forms rendered in modern materials.
