Roma Termini Station, Rome, Italy (circa 1952).
Plans for a new ‘Termini’ station were published in 1947 after a design competition to replace the half-built and severely damaged station on site previously. Opened in 1950, the final design was the result of the collaboration between the two winning teams of the design competition.
Despite the scale of the building, and the mixture of uses (such as the 5 storey office building behind the concourse), the layout is extremely simple and its functional success over the past 60 years owes much to this.
