In addition to the portrayal of the Transportation Center and attached buildings such as workshop, washing area, bus hangar, gasoline station, etc., the candidates will be required to insert in the required projects and to place within the existing urban context: parking areas for ìPark and Rideî automobiles, for tour buses, for taxis, and for bicycles; a restaurant, a discotheque, offices, stores, and approximately 20,000 cubic meters reserved for a residential building. It will also be necessary to consider functional connections to the new structures and to the traffic flow for the inhabitants in the broadest possible context, as well as to find solutions for overcoming natural elements of division represented by changes in elevation or other architectonic elements of division such as the railway tracks and the current urban situation. The second phase - ìCompetition of Designî - will require the participants accepted by the jury (a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 30) to design that which the commission considers to be possible to realize in the short term. In any case, this design will include the Transportation Center and the attached buildings. The second phase will be specified in detail with an additional special official notice having as its guide all of the interesting suggestions that resulted from the first phase. 6 Basic Requirements and Area of Eligibility Participation in the competition is open to work groups consisting of architects and/or engineers together with experts in mobility and transportation.
