The project for the Mergellina stop of Line 2 of the Naples metro system is part of a more organic intervention of re-functionalization of six stations of the same L2, financed by the PNRR funds destined for 54 stations in the South of Italy.
For this project LTT was commissioned to provide design consultancy and BIM services for the realisation of the multidisciplinary models of the Developed Design.
The Mergellina railway station is characterised by the presence of a remarkable historic Main Building, built in 1927 to a design by Gaetano Costa, overlooking Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
The historic building and the side entrances lead to the semi-hypogean station areas, through which one reaches the tracks, located in an unusual elevated position, facing the suggestive Parco Vergiliano in Piedigrotta.
First of all, the project envisages the creation of a semi-hypogeum Main Building behind the historical one, connecting the two side entrances, characterised by the presence of a metal false ceiling with a geometric folding structure, and the renovation of the external areas.
In addition, it is planned to build a Railway Park behind the second platform, to serve as a connection between the stop and the Vergiliano Park in front of the tracks.
