Railroad Area Planning in Durango
2004

Land:
The proposal is based on the detachment of the land formerly used by the train company. It is possible to think that a reasonable destiny for this space should be connected to the regeneration of the natural fabric, a type of primitive landscape restoration. This would act as the main support to further activities.
It is manipulated by means of a triangular weft that allows the continuity of the park to be resolved. From the hollow spaces emerge tower blocks.

Subsoil:
The train reproduces, in its tunnelling, the natural caves that exist in the area. The proposal emphasizes this cave system by incorporating new underground elements to those planned: a tunnel, parking area, train station, shopping centre, transport interchange, etc.

Buildings. Housing units:
- 7 slim towers placed randomly inside the park. This placement gives a higher value to the housing units, as they are inside the park, and offers a wide variety of typologies
- Each tower is a complete and independent unit. It holds commercial space on ground floor and its own parking area.

Buildings. Euskotren / Station/ Shopping Centre
One singular, iconic building is proposed to serve as the reference point for the new urban centre, Euskotren headquarters and station.
The image of the new building establishes a close relationship with the ground, faceted by its triangular geometry.
The elevated building frees ground space for public use.
