Multi-Storey Car Park And Bus Station, University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Spain. Architect: Jaam Sociedad de Arquitectura/
The building is approached from rationality, which is present in the in urban planning, constructive conception from a prefabricated concrete structure or standardized materials that close the building: aluminum and polycarbonate. We proposed to the Property and to the town council the modification of the current urban development plan to eliminate the basement and lift one floor above the ground. Thus, the building could ventilate naturally avoiding CO2 extraction. This decision brought the obligation to open facades. The volume is in a rectangular parcel with two overlapping orders, the first is an opaque plinth with human scale, a big bench in the buses dock, with occasional openings for access of vehicles and people. The upper order, with an aluminum facade, is a large prism which cantilevers above the bus dock creating a waiting shelter with a translucent blue skylight.
