Kyoto Station is the most prominent transportation hub of Japan”s ancient capital of Kyoto. It is accepted as one of the largest railway stations in the world and considered to be the most striking. The giant futuristic glass structure replaced the old Kyoto station, which burned down in 1952. The new Kyoto Station building was designed by the architect Hiroshi Hara and was constructed to celebrate the 1 200th anniversary of the foundation of Kyoto as the Heian capital. Hiroshi Hara (原 広司 Hara Hiroshi, born 9 September 1936) is a Japanese architect and author on architecture. His major works, including Kyōto Station, the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, the Yamato International building in Tokyo, the Sapporo Dome in Hokkaidō, and other important structures in Japan, have earned many awards. With a doctorate in engineering, he was a professor at the University of Tokyo until 1997, and has held an emeritus position since that time. Photographs and Editing were done by me. I hope you enjoy it. :) Transcend de Audionautix está autorizado la licencia Creative Commons Attribution (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artista: http://audionautix.com/ Touchpoint de Audionautix está autorizado la licencia Creative Commons Attribution (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artista: http://audionautix.com/
