EXPLORED: highest position #1 (February 19, 2011)

 

On tour with Johannes|B at Liège-Guillemins railway station, which is the the main station of the city of Liege, in eastern Belgium. It is one of the most important hubs in the country and is one of the three Belgian stations on the high-speed train network.

 

The designer, Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, crafted the Liège-Guillemins station with the goal of creating ‘permeability.’ As such, the building, which was designed to house the new services associated with Belgium’s high-speed rail network, has no facades. Instead, it is constructed with vaulted glass and a steel canopy that covers five platforms and extends over 145 meters.
