Abstract

As the high-speed railway develops rapidly, a large number of high-speed railway stations are completed within a short time. However, the design of these railway stations also encounters some dilemmas: the gradually normalized station functions and passenger line model in the architecture design as well as the designers paying more attention to the effects of building facades deprive the style features from the railway station architecture, lacking the identifiability. The purpose of this study is to solve the problem. Through concluding the various station types and space features of current high-speed railway stations, this paper carries forward the importance of the structural style innovation to building space shape, specifically analyzes the four structural styles’ innovative application in the design of high-speed railway station architectures and then expresses the significance of the architectural space design approaches leaded by the structural form to modern railway station design.
