The proposed design has two objectives: To convert the site, located in the middle of a park, into the protagonist of the area, and to establish continuity with the rest of the neighborhood.
On this plot, the project has sought to convert this area into a meeting point between the different forms of public transport: metro, trams and local buses, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian lanes.
By concentrating all forms of transport in a single interchange center, public space that would be reserved for green areas is released.
The park, as the plot’s axis, generates microclimate and biomass, and it is also a leisure center and meeting point for the neighbors and marks the boundary of urbanization, while providing superb views to the neighborhood.
