| STATION BUSES, LISBON the garage of buses in two
levels, with 90 seats, is located in the part the northwest of the
Station of East, in a land with an unevenness of 17 ms, garage with
two independent entrances to each level from the street, with a
halfed-bury level. For economic reasons of urban quality and, in
ground floor and facade street is a commercial surface in front of
the surface dedicated to garage, that is to say, that aside from the
accesses to the garage the facade is completely commercial and
therefore it is transparent more possible, avoiding therefore an
architecture marked by its main use, the one of garage of buses. The
garage of buses, is functional, with generous dimensions and a sober
architecture, of seen concrete, with one double columnata, a column
each two buses. The treatment of the concrete, in the walls,
columns, beams and ceiling, with a waterproof shining and colorless
antigrafitis, that will facilitate the cleaning and maintenance and
will put in value the quality of the concrete. In the ground, in
addition to a concrete plate with quartz sand, it will be dealt with
polyurethane painting with silica additive, to avoid to slip. The
illumination is very important: functionally, to see correctly the
spaces psychological and, so that the people dominate the space
visually and they do not have problems of claustrofobia. She is for
that reason, that will illuminate the perimetrales walls, the
significant elements like the columns, doors, etc. and the central
part of the circulation, aside from installing an integrated
signals, respecting the security norms fire. From the street and
in the center of the building a great vestibule like entrance to the
superior levels is, forming a vestibule with two panoramic
elevators, that arrive at the level +27.00, level of the superior
street, that is the prolongation of the existing street, with one or
two buildings of offices, according to the alternative that is
approved. The solution with a building, corresponds to the schemes
of the program, with a street open terrace longitudinally. The
alternative solution with two buildings, is a proposal with a
structured urban space more, a true street with facades of each side
in the superior part, level +27.00 and with a vertical facade from
the inferior level, level +10, with one better urban integration and
one more agreed volumetrķa with the scale of the volumes of the
already existing buildings and to construct around the Station of
East. Fundamentally, the alternative with two buildings is a
solution with a more urban character, without forgetting that it can
be the alternative with a better economic balance, from a point of
view global financial balance of the operation. From the superior
street, level +27.00, has access to four halls with stairs and
elevators that communicate the superior levels of offices and the
inferior ones with garage for the vehicles of the users of the
offices and in the strip against the facade there is also a surface
of offices, for the same reasons that the solution of commerce in
ground floor. The environmental characteristics of quality and,
explained for the garage of the buses, can be applied in the garage
for the vehicles of the users of the offices. In addition to being a
singular project, the proposal tries to be a modern project
(contemporary), is transparent, but keeping the privacy in its
interior, made with vanguard technology, respecting the
medio.ambiente: energy saving (to see description facades doubles
skin). With an architectonic design, from its set to the minimum
detail. With an adapted, customized design, to obtain the best
comfort, as much in the spaces common as in the prevailed ones of
the offices. A quality set, with differentiated spaces and
atmospheres. With spaces flexible, functional, diaphanous and
adaptable with partition consequently movable, flexible and
modulables spaces voluntarily, in individual in the offices. The
buildings of offices, are conceived with a criterion of Maxima
flexibility, that is to say, in addition to being two in the
superstructure with an operation of independent way, they can be
official notices with footbridges that cross the peatonal street;
each level of each building can be divided until in four independent
parts, from the central nucleus of the stairs-elevators. In the
central nuclei, besides to lodge the elevators and stairs, to the
technical premises, toilets, rooms of meeting, archives, etc. can be
located leaving free the rest of the surface of each plant, to
organize it as "they open espace", or with the detachable modular
divisions, that are desired and in the location that is desired,
following a modulation or plot international of to 1.35 mililiter,
modulation corresponding also to the facades. The flexibility and
adaptability, are completed by the accomplishment of the networks of
facilities in technical ground, allowing to connect the office
furniture, in any wished point. When organizing the surface of
offices in two buildings in addition to the interest of the creation
of the urban space and the flexibility of its compartmentation or
division, also allows a construction by phases if therefore it is
desired or if imposes the commercialization. The wall facades
curtain of double glass skin, in all wide and the height of each
office in addition to the qualities of heat insulation and acoustic,
allow to have a transparency towards the outside from any position:
of foot, seated and consequently a better visual comfort. The plinth
of the set, from level +10 to the +27, where it is the commerce in
front of the garage of the buses and the offices in front of
parking, has a facade composed by a white marble wall, with windows.
The facades of the buildings of the offices, superior to level +27,
are composed by a wall curtain of glass, and finished off with a
retranqueo, forming a planted attic of two levels, leaving in the
outside a columnata between two frisos of aluminum lacado in white
color. Commerce, bus-station and building of offices, the bus-station
is in front of the Station of East. Thanks to the unevenness of the
land, more than 5 ms, the station can be located below a great
peatonal platform, of public access, base of two buildings of
offices that form a street from the Av. Infant D. Enrique to the
Station of East, opening themselves, fitting and putting in value
the work of the Arq. Calatrava, this street is at the same level of
the present footbridge. From the platform, access is had: 1. - to
each one of the platforms of the bus-station, lowering by stairs or
elevators, after retiring the corresponding ticket in the kioscos
located in the peatonal street, 2. - to the commerce, located in
this platform, 3. - to the entrances of the buildings of offices.
The station has a capacity for about 50 buses, station that has two
accesses and two exits and are camouflaged from the outside, to be
below the platform, of this one way the set has a more urban aspect.
Besides to be protected of the inclemencies and a better control of
his watchmen, it can be closed according to the schedules that
agree, being avoided therefore the problems of vandalism. The set is
cut by the passage of the aqueduct of the Edge, in which, in a wide
one of 10 ms it is not possible to be constructed and the
constructions to 10 ms of each side must be in favor authorized of
society EPAL. What one sets out in the project, respecting the
previous thing, is to both unite the volumes of buildings of
offices, in 4° level over the platform, that is to say, in 5° level
from the bus-station, thus to have a continuity and one better urban
integration. In wide a superior one to the 10 ms, it would be
planted, as if a cross-sectional linear park one was. Which could
not only be contemplated from the level of the station, but also
from the platform, because the trees would exceed this level and
would be an important element of the urban composition of the inner
street. The peatonal street will have two different, but
complementary scales, one on the scale of the set, from the Av.
Infant D. Enrique to the station of East and another one more
"domestic servant", formed by the kioscos of tickets and commerce.
The street will be able to be united by means of one or two
footbridges, when 1er level of the Station of East. This street
could be cover and in that case, in the cover can have panels with
photovoltaic cells (modernity image), that can catch the energy of
the light, transforming it into electrical light for nocturnal
illumination directly or using the energy for the elements of the
spaces common public or, like for example the elevators of the
bus-station. Obtaining, along with the facades, an economy of energy
to importante(ver official, local, national and even European aids
of financing). The buildings of offices projected with such
flexibility principles, transparency and comfort that the buildings
that are upon the garage of buses, have volumes on the scale of the
district and the street that form, in addition their construction
can represent the financial balance of the set. Voluntarily the
outer and inner facades are different. The facades of the outside
are formed by a white marble wall, fitting the windows, like the
facade of the plinth of the set of the garage of buses and the
facades of the peatonal street are of wall glass curtain, like those
of the buildings of the offices that are upon the garage of buses.
The volumes are different, the peatonal street also. The angles of
the outer facades, next to the project of the Arq. Calatrava, are
like a volume of a rock broken on which it emerges prisms from
glass, in counterpoint to a set with a more rigorous order.
Counterpoint between the facades of glass of the street and stone in
the outer facades, with an Architecture different and in
counterpoint also with the Architecture from the Station of East,
but forming a balanced set, with a force of urban design.
