A brief is a short version of a case study.
King’s Cross Station is a historic train station, first built in 1852, that has been renovated, expanded, and modernized, and now serves as a new focal point for the city of London. In addition to the train station, the 4.5-hectare project includes office and retail space, as well as a soaring new interior public concourse and a new public square at the front of the station. King’s Cross Station is located at the heart of a major redevelopment district in London, aptly named King’s Cross.
