TRAIN STATION OF CERRADOLooking at the whole perspective of development of Brazil and state of Mato Grosso, along with the growth of the rail industry, the idea arises to propose a design of a station for passengers to become a local icon and to be recognized also by a striking architecture.This project symbolizes the current technology and economic advancement. But in other hand it has strong references for appreciation and contemplation of nature, along with methods of sustainable reuse of rainwater, use solar energy, use of natural ventilation and lighting.This work aims to demonstrate that it is possible to combine technology and sustainability in a unique project, that also could keep the man in a deep contact with nature. The reintegration of man with nature becomes increasingly important in a world in which we live just for work, living in overconsumption, and always in pursuit of happiness. An eternal quest that makes us forget the small and simple things found in nature that make us happy just because we are live.This nature which we simply do part.Architect Angela Kurmann22th June 2009
