BUS STATION JUSTO GARCÍA RUBIO

Contemporary architecture

By bus, you don't expect to discover an architectural price: Well, this will be the case in Casar de Cacéres. Created in 2004 by Justo García Rubio, a estrémègne architect, the station earned its author to be a finalist in the Spanish National Award of Architecture and awarded by the Estrémègne prize of creation, with numerous photos in the newspapers. The building is a white concrete ribbon painted on itself to do two loops, similar curves, one small and the other big, wrap over. The largest loop welcomes buses and serves as a shelter for travellers by protecting them from rain or wind. The second is a very chic and stylish bar area. If the ensemble of the ensemble does not reflect Oscar Niemeyer's architecture, aesthetics have not been the only bias of this project since, for the sake of functionality, its curve is also studied so that the exhaust gas of buses is diverted from nearby schools. A board, go to see it and enjoy a drink in the bar: The cellar is good and you will be used, among other things, for tentempiés (small snacks destined literally to keep you on foot).
