PECULIARITIES OF ARCHITECTURE OF PASSENGER BUILDINGS OF RACK RAILWAYS
Abstract
Rack railways were actively constructed in the late 19th century until 1930s. At the moment they mostly act as attraction passenger transportations in mountain areas, mostly in the Alps. They influenced the formation ofarchitecture of highland by connecting the upper stations and objects with multiple stations of smooth track railways and other transport modes. Final stations of the rack railways may have separate railways station
buildings; they also may be combined with other railways and cable car by architectural and spatial means used by other transport modes – separate railway station buildings, pavilion stations, tunnel stations, and simple railway platforms. The platforms are designed due to properties of wagons and are similar to both the platforms of regular railways and funiculairs. The architectural and spatial design of passenger buildings of rack railways foremost uses the approaches of railway transport and cable car. Certain line can combine different design and stylistic approaches for passenger buildings; unified is only the visual and audio information system.
Keywords: passenger building, railway station building, rack railway, architectural and spatial properties.
