light rail stop

The Stop

Located at the end of University mall, the stop would replace all the bus stops in favour of the light rail and would span across Anzac parade, easing traffic and bridging the two sides.

The rigid pattern on the columns enforce the idea of the stop being arranged in simple units but extended to create it's seemingly complex design.

The bridging of cultures; the perfect view.

The warping of light and dark; the struggle in cultural assimilation.

Light amongst dark; the past as our mother, the future as our child. The hope of crossing the distance between cultural barriers.

36 custom textures

Light to Dark to Light

Begin by simplicity, of lines and units, and repeat this pattern.

Extend the pattern until darkness overwhelms.

Remove all forms and begin work on it's shadows; simplifying its change and its form.

Continue the waxing and waning as light struggles to prevail.

Simplicity grows to complexity, complexity fades back into simplicity.
Light to dark, dark to light.
The cycle repeats amongst all of us.

Chosen textures

Light- Reconfiguration of forms to its simplest.

Medium- the growing repetition, the generation of the complex through simple units.

Dark- complexity overwhelms itself, fading to simple shadows and the cycle repeats.

Concepts for the axonometric

Aldo van Eyck Peter Eisenman

-Amalgamation of Repetition -Order and Disorder

-Heavy vs Light -Simplicity and Complexity

-Deconstruction and Creation

Amalgamation of Repetition

Heavy vs Light Simplicity and Complexity

Order and Disorder

Deconstruction and Creation Heavy vs Light

Axonometric based of two concepts

"Heavy vs Light" + "Order and Disorder"

"Deconstruction and Creation" + "Heavy vs Light"

Chosen Axonometric for final design

"Amalgamation of Repetition" + "Simplicity and Complexity"

Chosen Architects: Aldo van Eyck and Peter Eisenman

Inspired by Aldo van Eyck's orphanage, the first concept derived is the "Amalgation of Repetition"; the idea that a unity, whether its matter or the living, consists of repetitive factors. Peter Eisenman;s Jewish memorial brings the second concept of "Simplicity and Complexity"; simple components with the slightest change brings out the complex nature of the form and the idea.

The Developed Architectural Concept

A stop should reflect life's amalgamation of comings and goings-a repetition of trips, taken either with or without intention. A stop is also where people of any culture will gather to undertake the same journey, with little to no regard of the other's cultural background. Despite the simplicity in the human design- two eyes, one nose, four limbs; the slightest change in the eyes, hair colour, skin tones, accounts for the complex diversity of the human race, it's multicultural background. There's always a repetitive pattern within all of us, finely separated by the slightest change, creating the distance we all should cross.

Electroliquid Aggregation

A stop should reflect on life's amalgamation of comings and goings-a repetition of the same trip but each time with a different intention. A stop is also where people of any culture will gather the same way to undertake the same journey. Despite the simplicity in the human design- two eyes, one nose, four limbs, etc; the slightest change in the eyes, hair colour, skin tones etc accounts for the complex diversity of the human race, it's multicultural background. There's always a repetitive pattern within all of us, finely separated by the slightest change, creating the greatest, yet unnecessary distance we have to constantly cross.

Design Concept: Both food and fashion must be able to endure the extreme; the food must endure the flame, the clothes must endure the winds, and both must endure time.

Entrance to overall scheme with applied custom texture (heating) on wall.

Sand flows beneath Petanen's workshop (above), creating a sense of ruin, history and culture.

Tessellated hexagonal columns form the arduous steps to Petanen's workshop; a reminder to the creative struggle every designer must endure.

Spiraling, floating steps (from ground to below) are to capture the debris of matter that are trapped within a menacing tornado; an essence of the extreme.

Stairs from below to showroom: a kind reminder that the design is leaving the safe interior and into the world.
