Hi Iwert,
Thanks for your thoughts. You, being an architect yourself, are of course
very keen on the usability of the structure.
I did not look at the station with that in mind. I only looked at the beauty
of it's lines and I still think the building itself looks great.
The way the building combines with it's surroundings is horrible, I must
admit. No blending at all, just plain opposites.
While you are talking about wind and rain, I am afraid I must admit that
almost all trainstations I ever visited at drafty places to say the least.
For the rain part I can imagine that Liege Guillemins can be quite wet with
the big open arches on two sides. Beauty and function don't always combine
very well.
Wiliam

I agree on the pictures, less so on the architecture: it might be balanced
in itself, but from an urban viewpont it couldn't be worse.
And mr. Calatrava lives in Spain, where they like rain. Here the concept is
oriented completely the wrong way, blowing rain in and cold from the hill.
Nice for the books, 'bad' for the people.
Iwert.
