Cross-platform Interchange
A cross-platform interchange is a type of Interchange station, interchange between different lines at a metro (or other railway) station. The term originates with the London Underground; such layouts exist in other networks but are not commonly so named. In the United States and Canada, it is often referred to as a cross-platform transfer. This configuration occurs at a station with island platforms, with a single platform in between the tracks allocated to two directions of travel, or two side platforms between the tracks, connected by level corridors. The benefit of this design is that passengers do not need to use stairs to another platform level for transfer. A cross-platform interchange arrangement may be costly to build due to the complexity of rail alignment, especially if the railway designers also arrange the track with overpass, flyovers (which is typically done to increase efficiency). A typical bidirectional cross-platform interchange configuration consists of two ou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caisson (Asian Architecture)
The caisson (), also referred to as a caisson ceiling, or ''spider web ceiling'', in Chinese architecture is an architectural feature typically found in the ceiling of temples and palaces, usually at the centre and directly above the main throne, seat, or religious figure. The caisson is generally a sunken panel set into the ceiling. It is often layered and richly decorated. Common shapes include squares, octagons, hexagons, circles, and a combination of these. Name The ''caisson'' is a general name for a coffer. In the case of Chinese architecture, however, the caisson is characterised by highly developed conventions as to its structure and placement. Structure The caisson is a sunken panel placed in the centre of the ceiling. It is raised above the level of the ceiling through the use of the ''dougong'' (斗栱) structure, which, through interlocking structural members, as beams were not used, creates successive levels of diminishing size. Beams may also be used to create a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The branch was extended to the Kiyevsky railway station in 1937. In 1938 the branch was split into a separate line, and a stretch connecting Alexander Garden and the Kursky railway station opened. Despite the outbreak of World War II, the construction of the metro continued, and i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
