New Transport Architecture

'New Transport Architecture' is broken down into thematic chapters according to transport type. Within each chapter detailed case studies (36 in total), profile each travel hub, enabling a thorough understanding from overall scheme right down to the details. Illustrations of each project range from professional technical drawings and plans, through shots of the work in progress, to stunning shots of the finished structure. In addition the author, architectural authority Will Jones, invites five internationally acclaimed thinkers from the fields of architecture and architectural theory to consider themes pertinent to every transport type, from the importance of retail to the need for flexibility and future expansion. The foreword is also provided by Ivan Harbour - architect and partner with Richard Rogers Partnership. Together, case studies and essays form the most complete exploration of the travel hub ever published.
