Lyon-Satolas Airport Railway Station designed by Santiago Calatrava The overall structural system was generated on AutoCAD which provided the basis for structural calculations. The concourse wings extend 500 meters to both the northeast and southwest, while the gallery reaches out to the southeast over a distance of 180 meters. The idea of this design refers to the metaphor of a bird, expressing flight and a sense of lightness Built: Location: Colombier-Saugnieu, Rhône (69), Rhône-Alpes, France Structural Type – Truss Roof cost 750F
Lyon-Satolas Airport Station It is based on two converging steel arches 120 meters long and 40 meters high. They represent wings of a bird in flight. Calatrava's design is composed of a main hall, two wings for accepting train, car and bus traffic, and also a gallery leading into the main airport building.
