There is a clear connection between the aforementioned chosen combined axonometric sketch and the final architecture of the light rail station with the juxtaposition of a curved ribbon-like canopy over an asymmetrical rectilinear structure made of glass and timber.
The concept of sustainability is displayed by the abundance of greenery not only surrounding but incorporated into the final architecture. The use of multiple openings and large glass panels show passive design and encourages the use of natural lighting.
The canopy, being an amalgamation of modules, conveys a sense of innovation and a contemporary style of internationalist architecture. This allows the light rail station to blend into its urban context as a sophisticated monumental structure.
Numerous free-flowing and sensual parabolic curves are used to create the canopy; as well as passageways that connect various spaces which reflect the design philosophy of Oscar Niemeyer.
Natural light is carefully controlled through the perforated mesh-like canopy and glass is used prolifically. This is reminiscent of Kazuyo Sejima's design philosophy.
