Gothic Revival: Train Stations

The front facade and platform canopy of a train station. The front building is a stone Gothic facade with pointed arch windows, buttresses, and towers; behind it is a large-span cast iron and glass arched canopy, with cast floral ornaments on the iron arch ribs. Two languages are juxtaposed: one is the dignified stone, the other is industrial function.
Avoid: making the platform canopy also out of stone, removing the decorative floral ornaments from the iron structure, unifying the style of the front and rear buildings, using the clean nodes of modern steel structures.

一座車站的正面與月台棚。前棟是石造的哥德立面,有尖拱窗、扶壁與塔樓;後方是鑄鐵與玻璃的大跨度拱棚,鐵拱肋上有鑄出的花飾。兩種語言並置,一個是石造的體面,一個是工業的機能。避免:把月台棚也做成石造、拿掉鐵構的裝飾花飾、讓前棟與後棟的風格統一、使用現代鋼構的簡潔節點。
