I happened to watch a report of the World Economic Forum that Mexico is building a train station inspired by the ruined Mayan civilization at Tulum city.
In the station, the wood-lined roof regulates heat and sunlight. Experts say that this sustainable architecture is optimal for the tropical climate of Mexico. Some places in the station are open to let the air come in and some parts and shapes are glazed to protect it from rain.
The design of the railway platform, and especially its roofing is quite big, and its geometric design brings to mind Mayan monuments. The pattern of light and shade in the platform keep the passengers cool by which can avoid artificial air conditioning.
I think it’s high time we should think of sustainable architecture and this specific design actually blew my mind.
I’m a huge fan of bringing ancient wisdom to modern times.
My gratitude to the Mayans who were geniuses for so many brilliant technologies like this.
