Tram Stop in Alicante : A City Landmark By Subarquitectura

TRAM_STOP_ALICANTE

Designed by Subarquitectura. Building the Tram stop was an opportunity to give back to the city a space that had been taken from it; transform a roundabout in a public square. The frontal access to the platforms is reached in 32 possible ways trought a fractionated system of paths that get round the existing vegetation. Over them, two hollow boxes, 36 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, create a floating emptiness slightly above the travelers’ heads in a scale closer to the Tram than to the street furniture. At night, they become two powerful lamps that light up the platforms directly. The benches are related to the paths, allowing the passengers to wait in contact with vegetation, lighting the route softly.
