PROJECT OVERVIEW

Historically, mobility infrastructures existed as a critical tool in transiting and supporting the quality of life of the communities. However, a transit place is often coined as a “non-place” where it only facilitates movement of people, not a location where primary activities of life, work and recreation occur. Contemporary transit stations points to a number of issues that are related to the typical typology of transit places that are traditionally conceived, designed, and experienced by the public and connected to the urban environment. Some criticizes the functionalist design purpose and concepts which turns the “connectors” into disconnected elements of isolated infrastructure which is hard to access by the publics. Therefore, it is interesting to provoke and interpret the design of a transit place through challenging the traditional formulas and exploring the alternatives, and complementary relationships with the surrounding urban context while to redefine a transit place as a social platform.
