Surrounded by lush green foliage, the project uses best-known and earthy elements such as limestone of Mayan architecture. The railway station design adheres to green standards and minimizes its carbon footprint. The steel and concrete roof is highest in the center to house various retail shops and restaurants on a mezzanine level over the railway lines and platforms.Īlso Read: World’s First Spiral Lattice Loop Structure ‘Hole Zero + Timeless’ Will Allow You A Trip Within A Black Hole | Mask Architects | Mexico City Sustainable Project with Low-Carbon Footprint “A play of lights and shadows traveling throughout the space and evoking different sensations on the users,” the design team added. Smaller openings in the room receive daylight projects complex geometric patterns on the floors and walls of the station. Filtered Sunlight Creates Geometric Patterns on The Floors and Walls “The aerodynamic geometry of the roof sucks the ocean breeze in and funnels it through the station,” quoted the studio. The geometric grid will be glazed in some places and fitted with polished hardwoods on the inside to keep out the rain and allow sea air to waft through the station. The roof of the train station features a perforated roof made from structural steel and glass-reinforced concrete panels. “The climate in the Yucatan peninsula is tropical with rain and high humidity in the summer, to deal with this extreme weather, we envisaged a large open lattice roof, glazed in strategic locations, enabling public semi-open spaces that function without mechanical ventilation,” wrote the designers on the project site,” said studio founders Rolando Rodriguez-Leal and Natalia Wrzask. The architecture studio modelled the railway station as per the Tulum's climate. Open Lattice Roof Designed To Respond To Tulum’s Climate Following the same ancient Maya building methods, Aidia Studio conceptualized a new station to service the Yucatán town of Tulum on a 950-mile (1,525 -kilometer) Mexican railway line, which connects Palenque, another famous Mayan city, with Cancun.

The project will break ground in January 2022 and its construction is slated to be complete in June 2023. It is designed to respond to Tulum's climate. The unique shape of the station that is built on the Tren Maya railway line in Mexico brings the sea air in but keeps the rain out. The Mexican-English architecture firm Aidia has envisioned a gorgeous train station for Tulum that is covered by a massive sloping eyeball-shaped roof featuring lattice-work based on ancient Mayan construction methods.
