Manor House Station Reliefs and Details
Brief The brief asked to remodel a tube station based on a good understanding of its context; its basic function as a space of transit and its secondary functions as a space of commerce, chance and planned encounters and work; its character as an entrance and exit to a network and as an interface between the network and the rest of the city; the experiences constructed in environments for transport and the market potential of its underused interior without forgetting its value as a cultural artifact that contributes to the image and identity of the network in particular and the city in general. The focus is on designing the surfaces, signs and flows that in a subterranean interior are highlighted, made legible and directed by artificial lighting.

Entrance 2, 3, 4 and 5 are the most used in the station because of the location of the top up machines. Therefore the flows in these entrance are crowded than in the rest of the entrances and exits.

CARLO SCARPA Carlo Scarpa (June 2, 1906 - November 28, 1978), was an Italian architect, influenced by the materials, landscape, and the history of Venetian culture, and Japan. Scarpa was also a glass and furniture designer of note. Scarpa’s projects constitute so many experiments. In them, architectural thinking combines with the acquisition of increasingly refined techniques and distills the secrets of form into design. It is this mixture that is responsible for the fragmentary nature of his achievements, which cannot be fully identified with any of his works, with the exception of the monumental tomb built for the Brion family in the cemetery of San Vito d’Altivole (from 1969 on). Scarpa’s designs are, in fact, mostly provisional arrangements and the involuntary memory that emerges in his drawings points continually back to the past. The incompleteness that is the typical mode of his research reveals his concept of the work in relation to time. It thus becomes possible to see the architectural fragment as the favoured embodiment of Scarpa’s work and the coherent expression of his rejection of habit.
