Europa-Fira metro station is a deep underground structure located in the vicinity of Plaça Europa. Its architecture is arranged around a large circular shaft where the tracks and platforms are stacked within a single, wide-diameter tunnel. A core of vertical circulation elements made of steel and exposed concrete connects the different levels and organises the whole. The choice of materials and the expression of the structure reinforce a functional aesthetic that links the underground space with the technological character of the area.
This is good to know
The depth is such that the journey on the escalators becomes a visual passage through the station’s structure.
The system operates without a driver. The automatic trains stop with millimetric precision in front of the platform glass screens.
