Abstract

This thesis aims to analyse the coexistence of traffic-served spaces and meeting spaces in a railway terminal complex, with a particular focus on The Hague Central Station, designed by K. van der Gaast in 1970. The study is going to evaluate the significance of incorporating meeting spaces in the railway terminal complex and analyse the design strategies and typology approaches employed by Van der Gaast. The research will provide insights into the architect's perspective on the coexistence of these spaces and their influences on the travellers’ experience.
