The Project aims to transform an old railway warehouse into a cultural facility within the new Valencia’s Central Park which nowadays covers the old railway tracks of the main city station. The shed was built in 1917 by Demetrio Ribes and it is a valuable example within the railway architecture of Valencia.    The design allows maximum flexibility of use so different activities can happen simultaneously while respecting the industrial character of the building.   The shed is divided into five bays, which will geometrically guide the project. This structural rhythm, as well as the possibility of developing two levels in height, are fundamental for the proposal.   The building has two entries. The front one, fo... More

The project design attempts its best to be outside of the natural scheme of project design, the use of industrial material that is normally considered “poor” in the project is dignified as to represent the total new façade systems.  The project aims to build a constant dialog with the urban context, the user and create a unique integrity; From form to space, to material to use. Without gravity, without time, in silence where man can stand and observe the city, architecture in within its making. Even the new structure is exposed to “evoke more than what is there to be seen”. Marina di Cerveteri railway station restyling is a unique project because of the landscape position, near the seaside and the old C... More

The city of Likasi, South-Eastern city of the D.R. Congo, is known to have been established in 1917 mainly for the use of its railway infrastructures to connect the industrial areas around the city. The existing station building, which was built in 1954, and which essentially served only the eastern part of the city (since the eastern part of the city was attached to the outskirts of the existing city at that time), was to be rebuilt in 20 years after its construction. The new conceptual project takes into consideration the actual situation within the city, with two main entrances on both sides of the city and responding to the need for an increasing passenger traffic demand, providing a modern level of passenger service.   The stati...
