Aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capability is not new, but doing it with electric power is and one aircraft has captured the Air Force's interest.
Behold: the stunning 87-acre rebuild and renovation of the historic Jiaxing train station.
Jiaxing s new train station is set to be completed by July 1, 2021, though the project s sleek design and thinking reaches much further into the future. Borrowing elements of biophilic design, MAD Architects vision aims to bring nature to the forefront, alongside some seriously sophisticated style.
Located in southeastern China and interconnected to Shanghai and Hangzhou, Jiaxing is a key city for several industries. Built in 1907, Jiaxing s original railway station was destroyed just 30 years later at the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War. The current project, which covers a renovation of 87 acres, includes a one-to-one scale, archival-led rebuild of the original station, as well as updates to the adjacent People s Park and the north and south plazas.
