Amazing!

WAW on dirait un grand vésso spatial

My wife and I just sort of stranded there on Oct. 8 because the German ICE train from Brussels Midi to Cologne...as well as the next one..was cancelled on our way back from G(h)ent to Hamburg a couple of weeks ago, and we wondered (in vain) if there was a way to get home earlier by going to Liège. And we could also help out a couple of American tourists to get out at the correct station because their ticket said "Luik-Guillemins" (the Flemish name, in a mostly bilingual country) while the announcements and the platform signs only said Liège. But at least we managed to see this magnificent railroad station building (OK, we like Antwerpen Centraal even better - possibly the greatest art-deco train station anywhere- , but that's another era and Guillemins is simply the crème de la crème of modern stations - better than e.g. Berlin Central Station and the like optically, although the logistics at Liège are certainly less complicated than was required at Berlin Central.

One of my faverite architects, structural engineer I should say. His World Trade Center station in NY is breathtaking also.
