While most bus stations are ugly, perfunctory and utilitarian, there are plenty that break the mould and show that stunning architecture can be found in the most unlikely places. Bus stations are hardly synonymous in most people’s minds with glamour and great design; indeed we’re far more likely to think of airports and even train stations as examples of innovative and stylish architecture. But among the dust heap of dull prefatory concrete sheds lurk some true diamonds of design, including the brutalist masterpiece that is Preston Bus Station (recently rescued from being demolished and given grade II listed status by English Heritage) and the Bus Station at Spaarne Hospital in Switzerland(?) by NIO architecten, which has been described as looking like a whale’s jaw.
Here’s our pick of 10 of the world’s best-designed bus stations.
