The Metro system of the Washington Metropolitan Area  is one of the biggest subway systems in the United  States. Under the notion of Transit Oriented  Development, this book intends to rethink the role of  Metro stations. The stations are considered as more  than infrastructure, but with potentials to serve as  neighborhood centers and vital physical elements in  the city. Precedents of railway stations design are  analyzed and compared to existing Metro stations.  This work anticipates an organic relationship between  the station and the neighborhood. It explores the  opportunity to connect the architecture of the  stations with their urban / suburban, socio-cultural,  economic and physical contexts. Design strategies are  developed and tested in two neighborhoods: Farragut  North and Silver Spring in order to achieve a more  dynamic and contextually integrated architecture of  Metro stations, and thus to strengthen the urban  centers as well as enhance the image of the  neighborhoods in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
