METROMOVER PARK STATION
A VEGETAL SLOPING TERRACE MADE OF A SYSTEM OF STAIRS, RAMPS AND GREEN AREA CONNECTS THE METRO MOVER TO THE PARK AND THE SURROUNDING AREA (BISCAYNE BLD, THE WATERFRONT AND THE NORTH AREA). A STEAL SHELTER GUARANTIES PROTECTION FROM SUN AND RAIN. THE REPETITION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE ELEMENT FORMS A HORIZONTAL SCULPTURE THAT PLAYS AS A HINGE BETWEEN THE VERTICALITY OF DOWNTOWN AND THE HORIZONTALITY OF THE METROMOVER LINE, THE PARK AND THE SEA. THE STEAL SHELTER BECOMES AN ICON, A RECOGNIZABLE SIGN FOR THE NEW METRO MOVER STATION AND AT THE SAME TIME IT CONSTITUTES THE BACKGROUND STAGE OF THE MUSEUM SQUARE. THE PROJECT INTENDS TO BE AN ELEMENT OF CONTINUITY WITH THE PARK; IT HOUSES SEATING PLACE AND BECOME A PLACE OF RELATION, TO MEET PEOPLE AND ENJOY THE STRATEGIC POSITION OF THE SITE.THE METALLIC SHELTER IS MADE BY A STEAL STRUCTURE OF PILLARS AND BEAMS WITH A DISTANCE OF 3 METERS. STEAL PANELS, LOCATED BETWEEN THE BEAMS, MAKE A RHYTHM OF OPAQUE AND TRANSPARENT AREAS. THEY FILTER THE SUN LIGHT ON THE PLATFORM AREA EVOKING ABSTRACTLY THE SHADOW OF A PALM TREE. IN THE NORTH SIDE THE METRO MOVER STATION PRESENT ITSELF AS A REITERATION OF VERTICAL ELEMENT THAT MAKE A PORCH DENOTING THE ENTRY OF THE STATION. IN THE SOUTH SIDE, THE SHELTER BECOMES A HORIZONTAL FILTER ROOF THAT FRAME THE VIEW OF THE PARK AND THE SEA.
