Zaragoza-Delicias train station Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona-french border high speed train

Abstract

The project proposed an urban complex of buildings, civil train infrastructure, and landscape. The station is composed of large defining white concrete elements. The language of the system of construction, and the possibilities that it create for cantilevered volumes and concrete canopis, relates each situation to the movement, restriction, and protection of the occupants: access spaces, intermediate spaces, vestibules and the central space. The roof; composed of light-weight materials suspended by nine metal arches that m t on the main concrete volumes , creates a triangular composition floating in the light, reflections, and the geometric forms of the structure. The illumination of the arches at night appears as a new icon for 2lflcentury.
