The most obvious structure is its shape which simulates two wavelights that covering more than 130m long, which includes bus parking lane, the entrance of passengers, transport exchange point, and pedestrians walkways, with all relevant safety elements, that eventually making the boundary between the station and the city.
One of the interesting things from this project is the shining roof that is obtained from wrapping aluminum shingles that makes the metallic surface has varying look depending on the light it receives.
