Station masters
Article Abstract:
A clear architectural shape is now emerging for the 12 new stations on the Jubilee Line Extension in London, England. These stations show considerable variation in form, with Westminster and Greenwich, for example, looking like very large underground caverns and Canning Town and West Ham featuring surface platforms and ticket offices. They are in many different urban settings, and have different interchange requirements. There has deliberately been no attempt to give them a unified architectural image.
