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.
