LIFTS TOWERS AND WALKWAYS IN AMETZOLA
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE SITE WORKS
MANAGEMENT
Bilbao. 2006-2007
The solution proposed to solve the
continuity of the urban fabric consists of
creating a big park on the slope which
will be used as support of all the
communication elements among the
different points of the area, enabling the
pedestrian mobility by means of the
construction of roads, walkways, ramps
and stairs. The proposal would allow
accessibility among different streets
without architectural barriers and
combine the solution with a
complementary access to the three
levels of the underground car park
located under the Avenida del
Ferrocarril.
This project develops the connexion
solution between Padura Street and
Ferrocarril Avenue through the
construction of a vertical communication
structure compossed of two lifts for
independent use of the car park and
pedestrians and connected at Padura
Street through a pedestrian walkway of
three metres wide. The structure is
located on the space reserved to a car
park emergency exit, leaning on the
concrete walls which forms the shaft. It
was necessary to make both lifts
independent by means of the
construction of two concrete towers,
separated by the distance of the
footbridge, which will also be the support
for it. The low tower, of 14 m high,
includes the connexion lift between
Padura and the car park. The highest
one, of 22 m, stands out in Padura as
the unique element of connection
between the highest part of Irala and
Ametzola area.
Both towers, the walkway and the car
park exit building, form a single element
made of concrete and coloured glass,
located at a strategic spot at the end of
the avenue and with the future Irala park
as backdrop.
• Elevation of lift towers.
• Foreshortened perspective of the built
towers.
• Night view highlighted thanks to the inner
lighting.
Both towers, the footbridge and the exit
structure framework of the car park are a
unique element made of concrete and
coloured glass, strategically located at
the end of the avenue, and with the
future Irala park as a backdrop.
