The railway station Liège-Guillemins by the architect Santiago Calatrava was officially opened on 18 September 2009. It is covered with a lace-like roof of glass and steel (160m long and 32m high). The transparent roof seems to eliminate the distinction between indoors and outdoors.

Last image- Santiago Calatrava’s Transit Hub, which opened yesterday in NYC, image by Hilary Swift for The New York Times“Santiago Calatrava—known for his gleaming white, sky-high designs—has captivated the globe with soaring structural feats since he began designing modern architecture as a student in Valencia, Spain. His style has been described as distinctly neo-Futurist for its innovative use of materials and sleek, forward-thinking aesthetic. Calatrava’s artistic sensibility hasn’t been limited strictly to architecture—he is also an accomplished sculptor and painter, creating a body of work on a smaller scale that informs his fluid, dreamlike buildings. While his oeuvre spans many kinds of structures, his commitment to building inspiring civic spaces—from bridges to train stations to cultural arenas—and his seamless integration of architectural design and structural engineering has earned him numerous awards.”- via Architectural Digest
