Architecture firm Grimshaw's station that will connect Los Angeles International Airport to the city's light rail network is shown in these new renderings.

Scheduled to open in 2023, the $500 million (£390 million) Airport Metro Connector (AMC) transit hub will connect LAX to the public transport system, as part of the car-centric city's wider transit improvements.

"The Airport Metro Connector will play a vital role in reducing dependence on the private vehicle to access the often-congested LAX airport," said Grimshaw principal Andrew Byrne in a statement.

The UK-headquartered studio is acting as the project's lead design architect, with local firm Gruen Associates as architect of record.

The AMC will link the Metro system's Crenshaw/LAX Line, which is currently under construction across the southwest of the city, with the extended Green Line.
The station will eventually connect to an elevated electric Automated People Mover (AMP) operated by the airport, which will shuttle passengers to and from the terminals.
