Crossrail Place at Canary Wharf Lattice Roof

摘要

Though permanently moored among the docks of London's Canary Wharf, Crossrail Place has a central role in the city's bustling transportation and trade networks. Designed by Foster + Partners (F+P), the long, tubular structure contains one of nine new railway stations for London's new Elizabeth line, due to begin operating in 2018, as well as a shopping center and a public park. In all, the enormous, ship-like building includes more than 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and 45,000 square feet of green space across seven stories, four of which are below grade and submerged underwater.
