2016 I Architectural Design Infrastructure Studio I Transit Interchange
Transit Interchange /Culver city summary At Culver city metro station, the project introduces a transit hub which becomes the center in which the transportation network in Culver city can interchange.
2016 / Academic Project Architectural Design Infrastructure Studio Instructor: Aleksandre Jaeschke Team:
LA Metro has plans to spend over $ 12 billion over the next decade, for the expansion of the railway infrastructure. Yet there is still a clear uncertainty about how important the LA Metro can become for the people. We feel this is because there is a clear disengagement between LA and the LA metro that cannot be resolved through just the expansion of the Metro line.

We focused on Culver City station and we want to design a transit hub here that builds a cohesive connection between the metro and the whole of Culver City through an interchangeable point where the pedestrians can access, buses, cycling and the metro. This will initiate a series of new developments, including a new green spaces and a public square that we imagine developing into a commercial shop front.

Through the physical model we were able to see how our proposal imposes on the exisiting fabric of the city. We wanted the design to soft and inviting, opening up the new public square to the city.

Culver city transit interchange plan & section So our project is essentially a three-tier transit interchange that allows residences and visitors to have a connection to the city and the metro through a coherent transit network between the metro, the bus and cycling. The sloped pavilions provide access to the public square level from the street front and we also see them as spaces that could be developments for potential commercial shops.
