COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE HSAP TRAIN STATION IN PERISSOS

For this station, where trains and passengers are simply in transit, the architect, Nikos Gortsios, wanted to maintain the impression of space and fluidity. For the reconstruction from A to Z of the Perissos station, on line 1 of the Athens urban network, he based his design on only three words, "lightness, movement and speed". Designed to provide maximum shelter from the sun or inclement weather without hampering the flow of light and air, the building resembles two aircraft wings. After all, what can be lighter and more protective than a wing? The two " wings" are 100 m long and slightly curved to follow the lines of the railway track. They are made up of five prefabricated metal roof frames which were assembled on site
