St Exupéry airport railway station, Lyon, France (1994) The station's unusual design was inspired by one of Calatrava's sculptures: an extended curvilinear form resembling a bird on the point of flight. The steel-arched roof has a laminated glass side-screen, slender steel mullions and horizontally-butted, 2.5 mm laminated glass panes of glass fill the area between the central concrete arches of the platform hall and two outer steel span of the concourse roof, stabilizing the structure.
