Joaquin Sorolla Station in Valencia arose as a provisional solution for the high speed, while the underground railway works were finished. It ended up being permanent. IDOM took care of the architecture and the engineering projects as well as the site supervision. Four decision mark the project’s 13,000 m2: dry joint construction, detachable structure, recyclable zinc and an envelope made out of polycarbonate. The idea is simple: the roof over the platforms is prolonged and risen to protect the concourse. The result is quite pragmatic: a terminus station with a building at its head. The architecture is legible: folded longitudinal bands. A luminous and ventilated inside that lacks the need for HVAC. A neutral exterior lit up at night. And two scales: the platform, where the train and the passenger interchange and the foyer, where the traveller and the city come together. The structure alternates modules with pillar and ones without it that rely on the previous ones. The modular idea goes beyond its construction function to become the image of the station. Its construction essence is repetitive and systematic. Its structural proposal has personality and character. Each year, around 5,800,000 passenger go through Joaquin Sorolla station.
