"The design's primary feature is a series of layered screening walls, between which spaces are punctured and break according to the station's functions. The main puncture is the movement of the fire enigines, perpendicular to the line of the walls and the landscape as a whole (...) The whole building is frozen motion, ready to explode into action at any moment." A. Betsky, 1998
