Bus Station

What can only be described as a spectacular bus station in Casar de Cácere, Spain, by Justo García Rubio.

I can only imagine the worst fate that would come of a design like this if it were proposed in Australia...

from the client

"The pidgeons will roost in the void between the curves, this will become a maintenance issue. Can we have this design without the void?"

from the local government

"Our public liablilty insurance won't cover us for people climbing on top of the roof and falling off, there will have to be handrails around the edge or someway of preventing people from getting to the roof."

from the DDA consultant

"I am afraid you will need to have tactiles and handrails at the base of those overhanging curvy walls to prevent visually impared people from hitting their heads."

etc etc
