Lecture 50 : Places to Move - 1

This lecture explores transport architecture as “places to move,” focusing on the evolution of railway stations and metro systems as major urban infrastructures and civic landmarks. It examines how modern stations have transformed from simple transit hubs into complex multi-modal transport centers that integrate technology, architecture, and user experience. Through case studies such as Liège-Guillemins Station, Oriente Station in Lisbon, and the Bilbao Metro by Norman Foster, the lecture highlights themes like large-span structural innovation, expressive architectural forms, biomimicry, daylight-filled concourses, and integrated transport networks. It also discusses how contemporary stations function as urban connectors, catalysts for redevelopment, and symbols of mobility, technology, and cultural identity in modern cities.
