" 'It embraces the huge sky above; it's an elegant representation of the landscape out there,' one juror said of this airy border-crossing station in northeastern Montana. They were romanced by the 'combination of two forms under a large roof—they have a beautiful relationship. The solid form has external support, and the translucent form for daily use is made slightly smaller.' The barren, windswept landscape and the bulkiness of the commercial trucks and farm equipment that pass through this station posed a formidable challenge, but the result is 'something purely beautiful.'
