 bus station  Add category

Bus Station in Hoofddorp from NIO architekten. Designed in "free-form" "digital architecture" style. It's made from polystyrene foam - world's largest structure in synthetic materials (50m x 10m x 5m).

'People often wonder about the building's shape and what it represents, and there are a number of possible answers. A correct answer in architectural terms is that it can be viewed as a large boulder that has been worn away by footsteps and sight lines'.
