Light Rail Stop(Final Version)

Final View of the Light Rail stop
-located next to UNSW Mall

Electro-liquid Aggregation

_Being Unbounded for Relativity
This is originally from 2 concept "Undefined Threshold" and ""Changing Perspective for view".
Being unbounded does not only refer to the physical enclosure of the building, but also the sensation given by the structure itself, does it make people feel like contained or pressured. And Relativity does not only refer to changing in height level( as shown in above picture the rise of the platform), but also the comparison between the change of spaces.

Theme: sustainability

Inspired by Japanese, using Wood and Stone column to create an space that has undefined threshold.







As timber has the lowest embodied carbon among most construction material,  in long terms it has positive effect to the global earth and create less pollutant in the living years.

The white color of the building is TiO2, Titanium dioxide. It can substantially reduce concentrations of airborne pollutants from the busy under sunlight.

The curvy part is turned into a chair in later development of the light rail stop


Breakdown of the Light Rail Stop


As UNSW is a very crowed destination in the morning/ gathered with people waiting to go home after a day of work and lecture, 2 exits have been created. With the aid of the greenery space, the flow of people should not overthrown the capacity of the light rail stop.


Simple shapes have been used to created the light rail stops. Its form has formed a bench and shelter under the sun for people waiting for train.

The above diagram has shown people are able to look through rings to check the arrival time no matter which platform they are on.
Also, people sitting in the stop can look thought the ring and feel changing relativity sensation.

With the stops and nearby buildings, shadows are created for people to have a comfort environment to wait for the light rail.
(from 8am -5pm - 8pm)

Snapshot of Light Rail Station (how it echoes with Electroliquid Aggregation)



The form of the light rail stop is not fully enclosed, allow the enter of lights and people seeing through the change different space( on the stop and outside the stop) without clear boundary.





The rings as mentioned allow people to check arrival time no matter which platform they are on, looking at the coming light rail, see through the special view of all 3 stops and the bounded sky above. With the ring, everything outside seems bounded like a picture relatively and people inside seems unbounded.
