Chicago Union Station, as envisioned by German architects, Graft, intends to treat the users of their transportation hub as travelers and inhabitants.

The traveler needs to move efficiently, the inhabitant needs to move efficiently, so the challenge was to create a space that can accomplish both.

Chicago Union Station by Graft does that with a flair for the uber-dramatic.

The inhabitant seeks an extended stay; the coffee shop, the sunday morning market, life anchored to the city. The station becomes a rock jutting out of a raging river. The place of the inhabitant is at the center of the chaos, a place to better experience the city, a place to relax, a place to watch the chaos unfold. A space reserved for those staying, hot for those leaving. (designboom)
