The station acts as a starting point of a new urban project, which restores connectivity between areas north and South of Logroño and in turn gives rise to a large public park where the station´s deck is an integral part and gives its geometric and topographical mark to the volume. What makes the project unique is to have faced it with an intensity that is distributed among the infrastructural and urban, landscape and architectural, ecological and economic issues; that is, with a model of management and a total design, which looks for quality and innovation in all the stages of the process and that caters to both the quantitative and qualitative aspects.
