The building would unlock the urban potential of its site at the Liniers Train Station by reclaiming Rivadavia Avenue, where disconnection between north and south is keenly felt.
The project stitches together these two urban axes by its programmatic distribution. The localized intervention ties into the vision for Buenos Aires as a pedestrian friendly city with lively public spaces such as an auditorium, nursery, retail places, and programming such as a hospital and a courthouse. All of them distributed throughout.
The project seeks to combine a multitude of uses in a single element that symbolizes and stands out in the urban profile. The space surrounding the site would become an elevated urban park. Extending upwards from the train tracks and reaching a highway on the other side, it is a true gateway to the city from the province.
