Gallery: Calatrava Unveils Rail Statio...

 
Renowned architect Santiago Calatrava just unveiled his design for a new rail station at the Denver International Airport as part of the location's South Terminal Redevelopment Program. The new expansion will add a rail link from downtown Denver that terminates at the airport as well as a hotel, a retail plaza and a rail bridge over Pena Boulevard. Calatrava, who has become known for his sweeping arches and impressive facades (and particularly, for his rail stations), will add his iconic style to the iconic airport as well the city of Denver.

Denver is one of the few international airports without a rail link — a vital source of efficient and low-carbon transportation. The new expansion will bring important new facilities to the airport and will connect it to the city core at Union Station with a FasTrack line terminating at Calatrava’s new arched transit station. The rail line will travel across a new rail bridge over Pena Boulevard and then heads straight into the heart of the commercial plaza and adjacent hotel.

    Who will pay for the cost of the hotel? Why are we blocking the image of the best airport in the USA with this Great Wall of China?

  2. Hansen Hansen says:

    It is a crime to cover the best iconic building in Denver with this ugly building

    If you’re going to the city of Denver you won’t even need a car! No parking fees, no gas….sounds pretty convenient to me. Imagine the jobs it’ll create?? I can live without seeing DIA…I think this is a work of art that’s even better than DIA.
