Gare de Lens

Gare de Lens - designed and built 1926-27 by architect, Urbain Cassan (1890 - 1979). The form is said to be inspired by the shape of a steam locomotive boiler, the rounded arches represent the wheels and the tower is the funnel. It takes a bit of imagination to see it, especially with all the clutter in front.
