The project is an aerial transportation hub that pulls functions across multi-leveled loops above the city. This new civic building features an interwoven three dimensional streetscape that is blending interior with exterior and provides framed views to the city beyond. It endeavors to negotiate the scale of the hub with the fine grain urban fabric of the city.<\/p>\n

The site of the project is located at the edge of a slope between the two densely inhabited cities of La Paz and El Alto in Bolivia. The cities have a height difference of 500 meters and were poorly connected, so cable cars were implemented to improve public transport and to reduce the economic and social divide that has occurred. The site is a strategically important infrastructural node for the both of the cities.<\/p>\n
