Bus station

The city’s new bus terminal was one of the municipality’s main motivations when promoting the Detailed Plan of the Area of Castelo Branco Railway Station. An operating tool that led to the study of an extended group of alternatives in which to site the principal equipment, namely the new bus terminal. The aim consisted in creating a transport hub that would articulate the north platform of the railway station with a bus terminal and a new car park, providing comfortable connections between the two. In addition to the new building the project included redesigning about 3.7 hectares of public space around the station and the terminal as well as the new Carapalha viaduct over the railway line, constructed on the site of the exist...

The interchange station  in Żory is a public space that combines the functions of a station, a square and a meeting place. The priority while designing the bus station was  safety and the convenience for travellers. It was attempted to consolidate the pedestrian communication area within an island - a waiting-room square around which particular platforms were located. Thanks to this, the pedestrian streams were separated from traffic. The use of clinker in the floor and walls around the square is a bow to the historic buildings of the nearby old town. The authors' intention was to create a structure that would not be a traditional building but more an element that would formally limit the public space. Thus, the station has a form... More

FTL created an urban plaza, covered by a sustainable skin to define space, washed with day lighting and harvesting rain water. Transcending infrastructure to sculpture. There was a much needed desire to create a iconic public space which energizes the urban fabric, helping in uplifting run-down attitudes, partly developing a design that was a drastic departure from the old as well as most of the new, mediocre architecture around.   The new Rosa Parks Transit Center includes a passenger terminal, a roof canopy covering a drop off and outdoor waiting area which will play a pivotal role in providing alternate means of public transportation to the greater Detroit area. The architect, Parson Brinkerhoff, MI, a pioneer in transportation facilitie... More

Located in the center of Monterrey the project comes in mutual agreement by the public and private sector that seek for a mixed use office building to be a potential urban detonator of the area. This project is divided on two phases. It all started when the director of the Central de Autobuses de Monterrey commissioned us to perform an audit of the existing terminal space located on Avenida Colon. This audit included an analysis of the space to determine if the total area which had was the right to operate or require more space for their operations. It was concluded that the redevelopment of the center would be complicated and expensive, mainly due to the current building layout that presented an original approach that no longer corresponds...
