Turia Transport Hub

Architecture | Infrastructure

With the intention of reconverting the area, reconnecting the neighborhood and introducing existing and future infrastructures in an integrated way, Turia Transport Hub was born, a new reference interchange and intermodal node on the city’s sea and river front.

 

The project is formed from large covers intended for each type of transport. These roofs are linked together, forming a system on the surface and another underground system that allow interconnections and communications both horizontally and vertically. This entire system is linked with the park project, creating an interconnected network and a series of public spaces.

To carry out the project, a series of conditions are taken into account, which are the position of the tunnel, the river, the railway and tramway layout, and the functional and spatial requirements of the hyperloop and the trains.

 

Elements such as natural light inside the tunnel, air permeability, and porousness of the building are set to truly act as an urban connector.
