Architecture has evolved significantly in response to changing transportation infrastructure. The following are some of the ways in which architecture has adapted to these changes:
1. Skyscrapers: Skyscrapers are a perfect example of how architecture has evolved in response to transportation infrastructure. With the advent of elevators and other advances in transportation, architects were able to design taller buildings that could accommodate a growing population without taking up too much space.
2. Airports: Airports are another example of how architecture has evolved in response to transportation infrastructure. Airports are designed to handle large volumes of people and to provide them with a comfortable and functional space to wait for their flights.
3. Train stations: Train stations have also evolved over time in response to changing transportation infrastructure. Some of the more modern train stations are designed to be more environmentally friendly, with features like green roofs and rainwater harvesting systems.
4. Public transportation hubs: Many cities have developed public transportation hubs that connect different modes of transportation, such as bus stations, train stations, and airports. Architects have had to design these hubs to be functional and efficient, while also providing a comfortable and safe environment for passengers.
5. Pedestrian-friendly urban design: Finally, as transportation infrastructure has evolved, many cities have become more pedestrian-friendly. This has led to architects designing buildings and public spaces that prioritize walking and cycling, with features like bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, and green spaces.
