Annotation text. Architecture of the late XIX – early ХХ century causes great interest in researchers. At this time, railways and railway stations were actively built all over the world. At this time also, a new architectural style, called Art Nouveau, has distributed around the world. The representative of this style in Ukraine is the architect O. M. Verbytskyi, whose work is largely reflected in the architecture of railway station complexes.
 Today, the question arises of restoring the original appearance of historic architectural objects, including railway stations. Therefore, the research of history railway, and also the research of town-planning, planning, volume-spatial structure and stylistics of the railway station complexes as a type of buildings are relevant in the framework of historical and architectural researches of Volhynia in the second half of XIX – early ХХ century.
 The research methodology is based on general (observation, comparative analysis, etc.), interdisciplinary (structuring, classification, etc.) and disciplinary, that inlude architectural and town-planning (analysis of the urban situation, functional structure and morphology of individual buildings and their complexes) research methods.
 Holoby and Kovel railway stations are original and exquisite buildings by their architecture.
 The volume-spatial solutions of the Holoby and Kovel railway stations are characterized by the following features: innovation, architectural expressiveness, boldness of compositional solutions, combination of curvilinear forms with rectilinear ones, Art Nouveau style.
 The article deals with the history of creation, planning structure, volume-spatial composition and stylistics of the railway stations Holoby and Kovel, which are designed by the outstanding Ukrainian architect O. M. Verbytskyi and built in the beginning of the ХХ century.

Architectural space evolution process and form of railway passenger station are studied in this paper. Firstly, architectural connotation evolution of railway passenger station is distinguished into three phases, namely railway-oriented passenger station, comprehensive transportation hub and urban complex. Then, architectural space evolution of three basic functional divisions, namely yard, station building and square, are studied. Furthermore, architecture space evolution of overall railway passenger station is divided into five stages with respective features of yard-dominated, yard-building-square plane layout, yard-building-square three-dimension layout, comprehensive transportation hub, and station complex. Finally, railway passenger station architectural space evolution in China is analyzed.

The article considers the artistry in the architecture of the first railway station building in Barnaul (1914-1915). Typologically, it is a special purpose building in the emerging railway style. This is a listed architectural heritage building of Siberia dating back to the early 20th century. It is important to ensure description and conservation of this heritage building in connection with the program of railway station modernization being implemented in Russia. The architectural features of the building are considered in relation to the processes occurring in the architecture of Russia and railway design, and to the regional architectural environment and the author's intent. An art-historical analysis of the station building's architecture is performed. The stylistic appurtenance and originality of the project are summarized. It is to be hoped that the unique building will be preserved and the research findings will be used in the modernization of Barnaul’s railway station forecourt.

The colonial’s architecture was spread in cities in Indonesia. It was influenced by the modern architecture that was emerging in Europe. For the time being, acculturation happened between the Dutch and the heterogeneous Indonesian. Its design adapted with the local condition and climate. Mostly, it is called by Indis Architecture. It was the result of the culture and lifestyle which was begun since the Dutch colony. As for example, Binjai Railway Station, which was established in 1887. This adapted two different culture, the Dutch and the Malays. This research describes Indis architecture in Binjai Railway Station by qualitative methods and descriptive approach. Data will be taken by observing form and architectural element of the building. As of it, Binjai Railway Staion adapted two different cultures which resulted in a new culture, Indis architecture.

This paper examines large development projects as a function of finance in the context of Hong Kong, taking Kowloon Station as an exceptionally revealing case. Hong Kong's property market is one of the most established in Asia, and it points to the ways in which large-scale development schemes proliferate along efficient and affordable mass transit railway systems with great speed and success. At Kowloon Station, finance redefines architecture; instead of focusing on aesthetics and community, it is now promoting standardization, market visibility and semantic control. The financial viability of these developments depends entirely on these new goals; mega-developments such as Kowloon Station – and those in other parts of Asia – are successful in inventing major mass transit railway stations as terminals, in capturing commuters within spatial enclosures surrounded by barrier-like physical features, and in terminating architecture as it has long been established as a discipline. Mega-development is increasingly reinventing the contemporary Asian city.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the assumptions of a modern management model of railway stations. In this model, the station is perceived as part of a multimodal hub which includes, besides the building used for passenger’ check-in, also railway platforms, access routes and surrounding infrastructure in the form of public transport stops and parking lots and other facilities. The authors point to the necessity of constructing interchange nodes integrating the station with the urban tissue. The article discusses the issue of categorizing stations and standardizing services at railway stations to best meet the needs of users. The authors point out that innovative solutions are the key condition for improving the quality of stations. The station design process should be linked to the current review and the search for innovations in the field of materials, energy, ICT, architecture and passenger services. An interesting direction for the development of railway stations are services related to the sharing economy, such as co-working, car-sharing and bike-sharing. The article also presents the concept of creating an integrated entity managing the passenger station area, a model of solutions in other European countries.

Abstract - Dutch East Indies Empire architecture in Indonesia must be preserved as a result of acculturation between a foreign culture and a local one. The century-old Tawang Railway Station in Semarang has been hit by annual rob floods and has undergone somerenovation, but the latter has made the impact of reducing the architectural values of “Indies” style in its features. This research study may deepen understanding of this type of colonial architecture, exploring its application to this railway station. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis determines how function, form and structure have affected the spatial hierarchy of this railway station. This study is descriptive, analytical and interpretative, employing theories dealing with archetypes, ordering principles and Dutch East Indies Empire architecture. After data collection, the analysis compares these theories with the object of study. The findings indicate that this station has indeed applied the concept of the Dutch colonial style, starting from the context of the local area to the building elements, except for the floor. At present, the latter has already been changed in its entirety, from the initial building stage to its current state, where the specific “Indies” character can no longer be discerned. The zenith of hierarchy can be observed in the main lobby whose function is to receive visitors in its cube-shaped space similar to the Sokoguru (central Javanese pillar) and the cupola not found in any other part of the building. The building mass of the station is symmetrical in keeping with its typical “Indies” character, but the function of the interior space is asymmetrical. This shows the importance of achieving a high degree of spatial efficiency to make the activities run smoothly and effectively. Keywords: Hierarchy, Space, Dutch East Indies Empire Architecture, Semarang’s Tawang Railway Station

Abstract The Queen’s Hotel in Birmingham was one of the world’s most pioneering railway hotels. However, it has particular characteristics that do not readily fit within conventional analyses of architecture: it was not purpose built but was rather the result of a building expansion and modification; it was neither the product of a single architect, nor rooted to a single location. To understand these transitions requires a different approach. This article draws upon current discourses at the nexus of Architectural History and Design History. It is through disciplinary overlap and ‘messiness’ that we can achieve new insights into the development of the Queen’s Hotel during its first two decades. The rapidity of change during this period demonstrates how architecture was striving to keep pace with the progress of the railways. This article brings fresh understanding to the emergence of this particular form of railway hotel—which formed the frontispiece of the station—a typology that would become a dominant feature of Victorian England’s major towns and cities and emblem of the new railway age.
