    The document discusses three major transportation projects designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava: 1) The Liège Guillemins railway station in Belgium connects two areas of Liège divided by railway tracks with a glass and steel vaulted structure. 2) The Lyon-Satolas TGV station in France resembles an enormous bird with spread wings supported by steel and concrete. It connects Lyon to the airport. 3) Sondika Airport in Bilbao, Spain features a striking steel and concrete structure integrated into the hillside that resembles a dove taking flight. It has a sweeping aluminum terminal and soaring departure hall.
