The project for the central bus terminal of the city of Majes, designed by the team of Jimmy Liendo Terán, Kátia de Oliveira Vieira and Carlos Arellano Rivera, is located in an irrigated desert area and is part of a plan to provide an equal distribution of the production activities by improving the circulation between the cities in the South of Peru. Their concept, which won the second prize in the national competition, is based on two ideas: first, the separation of the movement for arrival and departure; and second, the plot with a difference in height, about 4,5 meters between parallel sides, which is hard to notice because of the size of the terrain. More images and project description after the break.
Understanding the future urban possibilities allows us to interpret the station as a continuation of Av. Colonizadores and Av. 400, which are situated on different heights. This way, searching a comfortable place where the movement of the pedestrians doesn’t interfere with the roads, we thought of accompanying the different separated flows with a subtle shadow like a pergola, making the covered squares very appropriate for the desert.
