A complete separation is proposed between pedestrian and bus circulation, prioritising the former, and organising the terminal so that the building acts as a filter between the two. The aim is to create a dedicated setting that welcomes the user: a platform with spaces for interaction and privacy, enveloped in an atmosphere defined almost exclusively by the particular quality of light as it passes through the object.

It is conceived as an autonomous, luminous object: a large, lightweight, dematerialised canopy that folds down to the ground, beneath which both the waiting areas associated with gardens and the terminal building are located, treated with the same cladding to form an additional fold. A terminal is proposed that differs from the typically dark stations, as it allows light to pass through it: a roof of translucent polycarbonate panels and cladding on all exposed faces in perforated galvanised steel sheet.

Alongside these general characteristics of the intervention, we would like to highlight others aimed at reducing the project’s impact on the environment, seeking to build a proposal with a simple, functional, economical and ecological image:

-Lightweight building (steel structure), 100% RECYCLABLE, and easily adaptable to new needs.

-Aiming for “zero maintenance”, using exposed materials and construction elements without added finishes, with perforated galvanised sheet cladding that fulfils several functions: giving spatial quality to the proposal (it allows the “veiling” of the different designed environments, integrating and separating them simultaneously), security, solar protection, and economy in construction, maintenance and future recycling.

-Elimination of harmful elements in construction, such as PVC (polypropylene drainage, synthetic rubber roof drains and halogen-free cables), and synthetic paints and varnishes without VOCs.

-Reuse of rainwater for irrigating the designed gardens, with a concrete cistern and through planned drainage trenches planted with native species.

-Asphalt mix contains rubber from recycled tyres.
