Bus-Metro Line Shelters for 'Boavista-Imperio / Alvaro Siza Vieira
Briefly

The project initially faced opposition due to concerns over traffic design, including a proposed roundabout. The final design focused on maintaining Av. da Boavista's linearity and improving pedestrian connections.
The integration of the stations among existing trees reflects a commitment to preserving the area's green spaces, and the design opts for materials that resonate with the low-density, residential character of the neighborhood.
The Serralves Foundation's interest in the project's proximity to its gardens influenced the decision to create a cohesive design that includes three stations, enhancing the overall connection to the urban landscape.
Thoughtful landscaping and the scenic pedestrian path serve not only functional purposes but also enhance the aesthetic experience for users traveling between the new stations.
