Pearl Island

On a small insular territory, logistical, commercial, and mobility infrastructures converge, demanding an integral and highly precise design approach. The proposal establishes a robust and flexible framework for the next thirty years, capable of adapting to future transformations and addressing the growing demand of passengers and goods.

The intervention seeks to optimize transit flows through the expansion of processing areas, the increase of vehicular capacity, and the reduction of operational times. At the same time, it proposes a reconfiguration of the public realm aimed at enhancing the experience of users and workers, integrating principles of well-being, comfort, and efficiency. In this way, the island is redefined as a contemporary model of programmatic hybridity, where the coexistence of transport systems, logistic areas, and commercial spaces is articulated in a flexible manner, with the ambition of becoming an international benchmark in border infrastructure
