Architected by a Spanish-Swiss architect<strong>, the station building is an oval shaped giant structure of steel ribs and glass, with two wings like those of a bird spreading out towards the sky<\/strong>. The building will house an upscale shopping and restaurant plaza which will be unveiled in August this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The interior of the world\u2019s costliest train station in New York boasts a huge cathedral-like space which is soaked in natural light filtering through the glass walls at daytime.
