How can the site contribute to the adaptable city? 

The main challenge of the site is to adapt and transform a transport interchange space reversing its process of decay and obsolescence with a new meaning and wider territorial integration. Within a city waterfront urban regeneration process, the aim is to develop a new centrality, combining heritage and landscape current features with new activities. Its outstanding position allows rebuilding the connections with the city and neighbouring fragmented territories. The location and diversity of elements demand solutions to be versatile and flexible, envisioning they can be phased or independently built, always ensuring intervention´s global and state coherence.
