San Diego High Speed Rail Station made in Sketchup

For my spring quarter 3rd year design studio, we were asked to design a long span high speed rail station. My concept was the form of dolphins being that our site was right on the bay of San Diego. Designed in Sketchup, some renderings done with Kerkythea.

Nice work. The roof seem really strong, doubly reinforced, is that much structure needed, seeing as that it's not supporting anything?

@GaySingleMulatto

You may be right, the diameter of the tubes in the space frame can be cut in half, but im no structural engineer.

Great design! Hopefully we'll need that station in the near future. Too bad we didn't have it today.

I love this but unfortunately that's the site for lane field skyscrapers... Nd the design doesn't fit in with the "Broadway Hall" part of te north embarcadero visionary plan... If u put this design on the Santa fe depot site then damn right on target nd juz wat we need. BUT I LOVE THE DESIGN U MADE!!! U should submit it to the leaders f the California high speed rail =]
