Like the art noveau design of the metro stops in Paris, Los Angeles can also have an eye catching recognizable design for its transportation development through the area. To use the convenience of cost effective and design flexibility options we have today, Pre-Cast concrete seems like the best option.
The design solution consists of concrete panels that are constructed of two layers that combine structure and organic skin into one. The panels can be rearranged to make numerous combinations to construct the walls, roofs and slabs with.
One panel can be cast from the same mold numerous times and can be reassembled to have many uses. We took the design further and focused on walls, floors, benches, bus waiting areas and other built in furniture.Pre-cast concrete offers many benefits to construct affordable long-lasting structures. The train station is a public facility that needs to be designed to accommodate the movement of masses. The pre-cast concrete panels are customizable, easy to assemble and eye-catching.
Each train station can be a separate design but carry the same modular and language from one another, making the system for Metro designs to last for decades uniting and promoting all public transportation in Los Angeles.
