Urban Rail-Link Station in Stuttgart
Situated near the Stuttgart Television Tower in a relatively undeveloped area with various sporting facilities, this open station for the city rail link is covered by a lightweight tent roof construction. The arched form of the structure was a response to the sunken site area. The roof is spanned between the upper edge of the rear retaining wall to the road and a row of piers at the lower level. The supporting structure comprises four triangular stainless-steel arched trusses at 7.5 m centres.
