      Hehe Kenny, I don't know squat about architecture.
      I work in a hotel... 😢

      I just don't like the train station in my city, so I want to design a new one!

        Eduardo, as architects do, start with a concept that derives from parameters in the surroundings.

        The volumes you show us are just form and it doesn't anything about that particular site.
        In other words: it does not communicate.
        Not that pure form exploration can't be fun as a play, but to design for a specific location asks for a lot more depth...

        (I only say this as you explicitely ask for feedback on design.)

        What happened to the original station?

          I'd like to post some images from the surrounding area.
          What resolution can I post here? 800 x 600 is to large right?

            Ah! You're an enthusiast like me! Well ... might be a good idea to stock up on architecture books. If you want to keep it cheap (as you Dutchies generally do 😄 ), De Slegte is a good place to start. Drop by there from time to time. They have a tendency of offering pretty decent stuff at extremely low prices.

                Got an update.
                This is what the train station looked like in the good old days.

                Than it got replaced in the 70's by this:

                And some images from LiveEarth:
                This is the Stationsstraat, the street that leads to the train station and the main square.
                Beautifull street with historic buildings, mostly lawyers and real estate brokers.

                I've made some changes to my 3rd model. Toned down the number of glass surfaces.

                @ stinkie
                Yep, I've got quite a few architecture books now. Last week I picked up "Architecture Now! Vol 3." for only € 9,95!

                  Got a new design for the train station.
                  I'd like to have a glass rood so the whole building has a light interior.

                        You know, perhaps it would be a cool idea to design the new station in a similar way to the old one, but a bit more modern. I think the surroundings would benefit from that 😄 Could you show us a view including the tracks?

                        More varied than the Borg, more powerful than the living dead, and better shots than Imperial Stormtroopers.

                        You've gotta love Slivers.
