Transport

Landmark infrastructure termini projects have enjoyed a golden age, not since the Victorian era have architects enjoyed such a broad range of rail, air and ferry projects. Many British practices being commissioned for landmark projects at home, in Europe and beyond. High performance specialist glass has been key in many of these structures, once again reflecting the parallel of the 19th century revolution in iron & steel technology seen in the design of many existing railway stations following the groundbreaking 1851 Great Exhibition 'crystal palace' of Joseph Paxton.

Transport based projects for managing the human traffic of arriving, departing or transferring passengers have provided many award winning glass-based designs, combining stunning creativity, structural feasibility of shape and form with low maintenance, security and the maximised use of natural light and heat. Sharda involvement across this sector has included work on both Heathrow's Terminal 4 and 5 Buildings.
