“Getaway to Europe”

Thus was described the Waterloo International Terminal which offers a rail connection between Europe and England. To learn more, see the following article.

It is one of the world’s longest rail stations incorporating glass into the entire building. This magnificent structure is completely covered with glass, which provides extreme litheness and elasticity to the entire composition. The astonishing curved shape of the glass was determined by the radius of the trains and the confines of the city-center site. Find additional information and photos on selected links.
