description | The process of knowledge and protection of a monument building starts from the recognition of its value and is intended to keep it throughout its lifespan. When the feeling of self-identification with it by a whole community is added to its historic and architectural value, so as to turn it into a national symbol, the active conservation of a symbolic place over time becomes a fundamental commitment, and has to be adapted to the needs of contemporary life. This is the case of the Stuttgart main railway station, designed by the German architect Paul Bonatz in the early twentieth-century and consists of transit crossroads which have been in constant transformation, since its construction to the present day. It was the subject of extensive urban and architectural research, until defining a final hypothesis of transformation conscious and respectfulness of its existing use. |
