Architect Rafael de La Hoz has won the competition for the high-speed railway terminal in the town of Huelva in Andalusia on the southern coast of Spain.
Rafael de La-Hoz?s architectural studio has won the competition to design and build a high-speed railway station in Huelva, Spain. The Spanish architect?s project was preferred over four other finalists: Ateliers Jean Nouvel - Ines Ingenieros Consultores - Coot Arquitectos, Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos - Euroestudios, Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partner - Vidal y Asociados Estudio de Arquitectura - Fhecor Ingenieros Consultores, and Foreign Office Architects (Alejandro Zaera-Polo) - GPO.The architects find that the Latin expression Tabula Rasa best sums up the project concept, proposing a simple architectural gesture: a horizontal line, a plane, a roof to shelter and offer shade; at the same time, it marks a beginning, just as the station is the beginning and end of every voyage.
