The article discusses the importance of creating architecture that is adaptable to change, emphasizing a shift from traditional heavy structures to lightweight, modular designs. The Tarragona Public Passenger Terminal embodies this philosophy through its innovative, non-orthogonal geometries that enhance spatial flow and evoke Mediterranean heritage. The design incorporates organic forms reminiscent of marine life, distinguishing itself from conventional port infrastructure. It promotes sustainability by enabling easy modifications or dismantling, while also prioritizing natural lighting to create an inviting environment for passengers, reflecting both practicality and cultural significance.
This architecture capable of evolving over time, allowing expansions, transformations, or reductions to adapt to new demands without losing its architectural qualities.
Sustainability and current demands call for lightweight, modular architecture that facilitates future adaptations and aligns with modern production methods.
The proposed geometry also represents a triumph of organic underwater forms over the rigidity typical of concrete port infrastructure.
Natural light is designed to suggest an underwater landscape, creating a pleasant atmosphere for passengers.
