SITE CONTEXTUALISATION

The MRT station is an infrastructure that facilitates transport, with commuters rushing from one destination to another. I explored how the pace and mindset of the commuters contributes to the perception and manifestation of the “Third Space”. Durng the peak hours, the commuters are rushing to their destination, there is no room, neither physically nor mentally, for the spiritual to manifest. However, once the peak period is over, one’s pace naturally slows down. This creates room for one to contemplate, and space for the spiritual to manifest. I began exploring the temporal and transformable qualities pf the “Third Space” within the site. Instead of it being a set space, how it can exert itself across various zones of physical space, and how the pacing within the MRT stretches and shrinks it.
