Puerta Umbria

This is a new high speed train station which will be build in Huelva, Spain, and will connect to Madrid.
It was designed by architect Rafael de La-Hoz, and he says he started from a 'blank slate'. The roof is perforated, meaning it lowers the sunlight's intensity, making the station shady.
I like the plans for this building as it's very modern and completely unusual to any other train station designs. I think it has been well thought out, because, although it is made from a lot of glass, it will still be cool even in the hottest time of the year.
