The design for station 12 constitutes an experiment on resilient infrastructural civic urbanism. It makes use of the main function of the building as a transportation hub to generate multiple grounds for public space: it articulates the Piazza designed in the adjacent PTI plot with the sunken station’s atrium and molds the station volume as a topography for an urban park that uses the roofs of both the Station and the PTI to establish an independent public space layer, a continuous terrace garden that takes people across the whole Barra district.
