Daniel Wright – The Beauty of Transport – Unblocking the Bottleneck – Reading Station

<<<

To ride an escalator up

into Reading station’s giant footbridge

is to experience a station transformed.

Sleek, ribbon-like canopies

flow up from the platforms,

swooping over the footbridge,

which itself links two dramatic concourses, one at each end.

Curving steel columns raise the canopies over the footbridge

while sculptural concrete ones support the footbridge itself

and provide visual drama at platform level.
