HSR Train Station, Dwight Illinois


The rail station and town center in Dwight, IL was a structurally determinant project; 
meaning that the design was to engage the role of structure in the act of architectural design. 







The rail station represents a reinvention of the rail transportation area. The design is intended to 
represent the promise of the industry and promote the vision of the national and local high speed rail initiatives.

The station at Dwight presented an opportunity to extend the definition of the rail station into a place that was to be a town center, one greatly needed in a place that lacked social and cultural space and infrastructure.
