- Abstract
Abstract: In Japan, the new steel‐glass architecture of railway stations observes usually not only the typical canons of aesthetics but often also – increasingly – the local habits, traditions and social features. Moreover, such architecture is understood to respect well the natural and built environment – forming friendly compositions, which respond fairly to the needs of contemporary Japanese people. Thus, that architecture becomes certain steel‐glass art of structures. In this paper, on the basis of several practical examples, such special steel‐glass art will be presented.
