TRAM STOP
Sergio CardellPlaza. Alicante.
SPAIN
Light Light
Alicante is
a 400.000 inhabitants city of the southeast mediterranean spanish coast. Over the last years, there has been building a new tram
infrastructure, using the old rails of the local train. This line connects all
the towns of the coast, ending in Denia, a northern city of the province, where
ships departure to Ibiza.
This stop, is the central stage of a new line of the
tram, that links the centre of the city to the residential areas of San Juan beach.
The construction of the Tram Stop was the opportunity to
bring back a stolen space to the city: to turn a traffic circle into a public
space.
Through a fractal access system deformed in each side
to avoid the existing trees, the travellers can arrive in a frontal way to the
platform in 32 different possibilities.
Over the platforms, 2 empty boxes (36 m long, 3 m wide,
2,5 m high) create a floating void slightly over the travellers? heads.
It matches the size of the train, creating an intermediate
scale between buildings and urban elements.
There is no difference between structure and envelope,
neither between roof and walls.
It is an isotropic material in both conception and
construction.
The holes reduce the weight as increase the resistance
to normal tensions, and equally decrease wind pressures among the surfaces.
Light and air pass through, smoothing the shadow and
generating a soft breeze in summer months.
At night the boxes are transformed into two giant
lamps.
Benchs are spread over the garden close to the
vegetation and the paths, creating a public place overlaying the quiet of the
seated people and the movement of the people walking.
