What you are looking at, are pictures released by UNStudio of the new central platform canopies of their Arnhem Station project. The station, because of its location, has seen its passenger numbers steadily increase over the last years. As such, these canopies are set to be one of the first stages of a masterplan for this station, where multiple high speed rail routes to Germany converge.
Each of these four canopies are roughly 210 m in length and varying in width between 9-14 m. Their composition of steel structure, white aluminum cladding and cold-formed glass is part of an overarching scheme to unify the station’s appearance with a sense of light and space.
