Abstract

The ideas and designing process of train stations had evolved to follow the several philosophies of design-led elements, such as: highlighting the cultural development of the surrounding community, space division for several activities and uses, axes planning for human gathering and the quality of the prevailing economic activity in it and divide the assembly elements and its distribution, and also keep up with the rapid evolution in rail transport technology. The paper assumes that there are 4 main guiding station design components that affected the design process of train stations: Spatial, technical, style, and urban. Those 4 design components are shaped by the basic architectural design elements: of function & form; which express the essential spaces and volumes of any basic train. The methodology of the discussion is an analysis for a case study (Kenitra Station in Morocco); uses several basic elements of form and function -which are specific to the train station as a building type- for discussion about each element: its idea, purpose, and effect; leading to provide comparison factors for a comparative analysis between the station components to obtain enough results that show how the design components of a station are affected; in terms of space, technology, style, and urbanism.
