King's Cross Station

It's particularly interesting how John McAslan and Partners managed to make such an overwhelming structure appear so delicate - I suppose it's got to do with how it blends rather nicely with the original Victorian era glass roof of the original train station.


I can't help but draw comparisons to Foster and Partners' iconic British Museum though; they seem to have produced one of the most recognisable glass roofs around. Nevertheless, beautiful work by John McAslan and Partners, it's nice to see how the past and modern blend so neatly, each complimenting the other.
