Architecture of Transportation

Transport interchanges and related environments create a special architectural challenge and instigate social and political discussion. The contemporary "Urban Gateway" has increased vitality as we move into the new decade; this volume highlights the strength of its progress. Articles investigate political issues and emotive forces. The dynamics are confronted and the pragmatics explored by innovative projects from around the world. Some of the transport projects featured are: Ellerbe Becket's Metro Rail Line, Vermont/Santa Monica Station; Nicholas Grimshaw's Waterloo International Terminal; Will Alsop's Hamburg Ferry Terminal; and Richard Rogers's Berlin Underground.
