A 1:50 section/interior study model of Santiago Calatrava's Bahnhof Stadelhofen in Zurich, depicting the lower-level concourse with its sequence of paired tapered piers and sculpted concrete arch-soffit system. The grey structural MDF elements sit on a black baseboard, with a small white human figure placed inside the concourse to communicate spatial scale. The model foregrounds the structural and spatial character of the underground platform zone, capturing the expressive arch geometry and pier profiles that define Calatrava's design.
