[A]WAITING TO DIFFUSE
architecture design thesis
The concept of the project is the notion that waiting itself can shape the spaces we live in: form follows waiting.
Looking at intervals of time in which people are kept waiting, we can start to get a sense of the interconnected functions we need. These create a self-sustaining environment where one function feeds into another.
To create an environment that is welcoming the hub takes a grid like structure that allows for a connection between the project and the city. The vertical circulation is pushed at the edge of the structure to maximize this conversation with the city
concept and design diagrams from concept to spatial understanding
Large signs are placed around the facades of the building to make it easier for people to know what functions are present within the project and to peak their curiosity as to what else can be hidden within the storeys of the structure.
interactive structure with the street and the inner courtyard transparency of spaces allows for interaction between users at different levels
The phasing of the project is divided into 3 stages spanning 12 years. Each phase is developed into smaller subcategories where 4 aspects are tackled: existing infrastructure and public realm (teal blue), residential and commercial spaces to the east of the site (salmon orange), transportation and access links (yellow) and industrial site and workspaces to the west of the site (light teal blue). These subcategories do not happen at the same time as they have the potential to change following the needs of the residents and the strategic industrial site. These changes might come from the developers, the community and even in accordance with new plans for the area.
