Description |
|
The architects
say of the station that, "... The
station as a whole is conceived as a
local landmark through the integration
of the bridge and feature lift towers.
The canopy sails over the bridge
structure as a lightweight aerofoil fin
suspended from two towers, mirrored in
plan at either end of stairways to the
bridge deck. ...![]() ... The lift towers themselves are beacons in the landscape creating a visual identity for the DLR Station discernible from Chrisp Street and across Langdon Park. Use of transparent materials and careful consideration in layout affords the passenger a sense of security whilst moving through the station and its environs by the elimination of blind spots." ![]() ![]() |
