A SIGN OF SUSTAINABILITY
Our idea is to create an architecture through which a proper action in the field of energy saving and efficient consumption collaborates with the citizens to disseminate and encourage them about these current and important issues. A sign of sustainability, a sign of light for the future. The entrances of the subway stations, frequented by thousands of people everyday, are excellent showcases to transmit this message. The purpose of the project is to create a “kit”, a system which gives possibility to compose entrances of the subway stations in various positions in the urban areas. The cover is a bright element, creating a sign of recognition and acting as an element of safety-comfort.
