Network Rail is to launch a design competition for small and medium-sized stations. The competition will be run by RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, and should be launched this month. The competition brief will be informed a new ThinkStation report prepared for Network Rail by the Design Council. Anthony Dewar, professional head of buildings and architecture at Network Rail, said: “The ambition here is to raise the quality of design across our network as well as responding to the evolving role of infrastructure within communities.” ThinkStation is available at https://tinyurl.com/yap9r95b
