THE SPACE BETWEEN

The 36 Custom Textures

The Two Concepts

Marc Fornes: Play of light and shadow to create ever-changing ephemeral space.

Oscar Niemeyer: The promenade towards/throughout the architecture as a human experience of space.

Electroliquid Aggregation: The interaction of the light and shadow creating the dynamic human experience of space.

Concept 1: The light in space changes with the construction of the building. In Marc's previous works, most of his design use the different effect of light to create ever-changing ephemeral. In my light rail station, the top shelter has some circular opening(with glass cover), which make it become hollow and produce the access of the sun light. And the supporting columns also have plenty of holes that can produce same effect. These light and shadow combine can create some interesting pattern in space.

Concept2: Human experience was considered for the site of the station. The station is along the Anzac Pde because the light rail always go with the common traffic. Alought the station is on the passageway, it still have clear space for the people who will not waiting for the rail way. They can still keep going straight or make a turn. The station will not dtsturb a lot.

Theme

Sustainability

As for sustainability, skylight make natural daylighting down onto the ground of the station. For the material used, the seating is made of renewable wood (bamboo). The top of the roof is cover with curved solar which can supply some power for the station.

Chosen Texture


light This texture with light hatch as background have been places to the border of the screen (provides rail info and time), and the color is light brown. This can attract people to focus the screen.

medium
The geometric blocks of this texture have been places on the direction of normal passageway, it is black and white which gives the effect like light and shadow. It texture is quite different to the ground of the station, so it also lead people who don't take the light rail to cross the station.

dark
The curve lines form this texture have been places on the four sides of the station roof, people can see this strong lines in the distance because the most of station is in light color.
