DESIGN OF THE LIGHT RAIL STOP RELATE TO CONCEPTS
The organic shaped glass ceiling allows sunlight to enter the station as the light source, which creates the sense of openness as well as keeping the passengers away from bad weathers. This design is inspired by Doshi's concept of drawing natural lights to create ambiance.
The lounge is placed at the side of the station, whereas the railway goes through the center. This is based on Khan's concept of "primary spaces are often centralised, whereas secondary spaces are placed on the fringes".
Two of the custom textures used can be seen from this image. Light texture is applied to the main body of the station to reflect Doshi's concept along with the glass ceiling. Medium texture is applied to the rail to demonstrate its importance, it also gives the rail a bit sense of weight.
18 SKETCH AXONOMETRICS
Axonometric sketches:
- "All matter is made up of light, and matter casts shadows, and the light and shadows make a space."
- There is a relationship between servant and served spaces, whereby servant spaces like stairways and corridors facilitate the function of the served living spaces.
- Drawing in natural light through forms which in turn diffuses light and creates ambiance.
- The use of columns to define a space.
- The architecture features overlapping layers and transitional areas which encourages fluid and adaptable living conditions, customary in Indian tradition.
- He establishes a hierarchy of spatial organisation in that primary spaces are often centralised, whereas secondary spaces are placed on the fringes.
