I call it bubble architecture. But probably nobody else does.
I’ve said that France is the all time master at turning beautiful historical buildings into hideous monstrosities by encasing parts of them – or sometimes all of them – in giant glass bubbles. Well, they seem to be getting mildly better at this. But the famous Gare de Strasbourg — or main train station in Strasbourg — is in my view a case where the French got things right!
