ABSTRACT WHAT WILL BE THE NEW TRANSFORMATION OF MOBILITY IN URBANISM AND HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE FACILITATE NEW MODES OF URBAN TRANSPORTATION? The research is to project how urbanism will transform into within the next 50 years. With the rapid development of technology to support urban needs, transportation is one of the most consideration in order to transform a city into smart urbanism.

1.01 CONCEPT STATEMENT
The mobility of San Francisco residents in the future is going to involve the new sharing platform system, which elevates the green facilities to the city such as the electric vehicle, the autonomous vehicles, or even the flying car to reduce the traffic on roads. Future urbanism trends will reduce car ownership and encourages car-sharing and poolings. The urbanized areas will be more dense, larger since the Gensleron forecasts that American is going to live in the cities more than the countryside due to the advanced infrastructure in the big cities. The transportation will be more multi-modal and less reliant on cars. With the technologies have developed to elevate the humans living conditions such as new mobilities in the future. Hence, SOMA proposes the new transit center to San Francisco’s infrastructures, where people can take a variety of transportation type, such as the high-speed train, the pooling vehicles and the electric airplanes for short-distance travel plans. The diversity in choosing the transportation types will reduce the real wait time to people, air pollution to the city and bring a better living space for San Francisco Urbanism.

The modern design of the Glass Hall contrasts with the historic building of the Central Station. The modern architecture efficiently caters for the increasing flow of people travelling. To enhance the different parts of the station, the various functions are reflected in both material and service. The façade of the ‘Glass Hall’ is suspended in a wire system supported by a steel structure that acts like a modern version of the old railway hall. Inside the Glass Hall there is a fast food restaurant, a newspaper store, an exchange office and a café. The new glass façade opens up toward the historic railway hall and exposes it for the travelers for the first time in the station’s history. The older part of the station runs at a lower pace and the materials used are more traditional such as brick and dark-stained wood.

The general design of the station and of the adjacent public spaces reflects broader considerations regarding the urban remodeling of the waterfront and the districts in the vicinity of the port of Casablanca. Under its large roof, the transport hub houses waiting areas, circulations, services as well as retail outlets and a two-tier underground car park facility. The concourse is the major element of the hub and opens up onto a large forecourt on the south-west and the platforms on the northeast. As if in anticipation of possible new transformations, the station has been devised in a way that allows its future connection with a potential regional express line station.

Andrew Bromberg’s design of the station introduces over 3 hectares of ‘green plaza’ to the site. The outside ground plane bows down towards the entrance, whilst the roof structure above gestures towards the sky. The resulting space is a 45-meter high volume, whose energy and focus is directed towards the south façade, Hong Kong Central skyline and Victoria Peak beyond. Unusual for the vertical city of Hong Kong, Bromberg’s design of the station is ground-hugging. The architect was keen to bring on the sense of fluidity reflecting on the idea of various forces converging on a global city. The Hong Kong West Kowloon Station’s openness and its people-centric, inclusive design will set the stage for the city’s bright and exciting future ahead.

The map shows the northern end of the San Francisco and San Jose railroad, which was designed in 1862 and planned by Western Pacific Railroad Company to join with the Central Pacific’s rail line. The line was constructed as a single track with no tunnels and only a few bridges, the longest of which was a 240 foot trestke over Islais Creek. The SF&SJ started excursion service in October 1863 with three locomotives, six passenger cars and approximately twenty freight cars.

The SFMTA plans, designs, builds, operates, regulates, and maintains one of the most diverse transportation networks in the world. In addition to the four modes of transportation (transit, walking, bicycling and driving, which includes private vehicles, taxis, car-sharing, and commercial vehicles), the Agency directly oversees five transit modes (bus, trolley bus, light rail, historic streetcar, and cable car), in addition to overseeing para-transit service, which serves individuals unable to use fixedroute transit service. The SFMTA also partners with regional transit operators who connect the city with the region using four additional transit modes (heavy rail (BART), commuter railroad, regional bus, and ferry). In addition to being an operator and regulator, the SFMTA has a robust planning, design, and construction function that includes reviewing all proposed land use developments with our partners; planning, designing, and building the transportation modal networks (transit and para-transit, streets, signals, bicycle, pedestrian, taxi, commercial delivery, and loading); and providing long-range forecast analyses of the fleets, facilities, and right-of-way infrastructure in the city and their relation to the region..

AMTRAK a government-owned corporation that was organized on May 1, 1971 to provide intercity passenger service in United State. AMTRAK stands for “America” and “Track”, where the headquarter located in Washington, DC. It operates 305 passenger trains with daily service on 21,000 miles of track primarily owned by freight railroads connecting 500 destinations in 46 states and three Canadian provinces.
STATE-SUPPORTED INTERCITY PASSENGER RAIL Some states have operated intercity passenger service for over two decades. Currently, 15 states operate corridor trains representing 48 percent of Amtrak’s total ridership and 25 percent of Amtrak’s revenue. In 2010, state corridor trains had a 6.5 percent increase in ridership and a 12.5 percent increase in revenues. Outside the Northeast Corridor, state-supported routes are Amtrak’s fastest growing rail lines.
COMMETER RAIL Commuter Rail provides passenger service between central cities and their suburbs. Commuter rail trains typically operate only on work days and during commute hours. Most riders make trips of less than 50 miles for work, school, or errands. These trains typically run on the same railroad tracks as freight trains and often share some stations with Amtrak intercity trains.

LIGHT RAIL Light Rail passenger service refers to the number of riders that the train can carry, not the weight. Light rail trains provide passenger service within a city and its suburbs. They operate on their own tracks— they don’t share tracks with commuter rail, Amtrak, or freight trains—but sometimes share right-of-way with automobiles. They also run at frequent intervals and typically run not only in commute hours but also during the day, weekends, and evenings.
MONORAIL A monorail is railway having a single track for passenger or freight vehicles. In most cases, the rail is elevated. Monorail was developed to meet medium-demand traffic in urban transit, but represents a relatively small part of the overall railway field.
TRAM/TROLLEY Referred to as a streetcar or trolley car, it is a rail vehicle which—at least in parts of its route—runs on tracks in streets. It may also run between cities and/or towns, and/or partially grade separated even in the cities. Trams are designed for the transport of passengers and are usually lighter and shorter than conventional trains and rapid transit trains.

SHANGHAL MAGLEV - 267 MPH The world’s fastest train charging $8 per person, per ride, the Maglev runs the nearly 19 miles from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport to the Longyang metro station on the outskirts of Shanghai, which takes just over 7 minutes to complete the journey using magnetic levitation (maglev) technology, doesn’t go to the city center. As such, the bulk of the passengers since its 2004 debut have been travelers on their way to and from the airport, cameras out and ready to snap a photo of the speed indicators when the train hits 431 km/ hr (267 mph). FUXING HAO CR 400 AF/BF - 249 MPH CR400AF is “Dolphin Blue,” and the CR400BF is “Golden Phoenix.” The “CR” stands for China Railway. Both take just under five hours to zip up to 556 passengers each between Beijing South and Shanghai Hongqiao Station, easily halving the nearly 10-hour time it takes to ride the conventional, parallel rail line between these two megalopolises.
SHINKANSEN H5 AND E5 - 224 MPH The H5 and E5 series Shinkansen, respectively running the Tohoku and Hokkaido services, are two of the newer bullet trains on Japan’s tracks, and so far the fastest in regular commercial service in the country.

The gauge of a railway track is defined as the clear minimum perpendicular distance between the inner faces of the two rails. Advantages and disadvantages of different track gauges Narrow gauge railways usually cost less to build because they are usually lighter in construction, using smaller cars and locomotives (smaller loading gauge), as well as smaller bridges, smaller tunnels (smaller structure gauge) and tighter curves. Narrow gauge is thus often used in mountainous terrain, where the savings in civil engineering work can be substantial. It is also used in sparsely populated areas, with low potential demand, and for temporary railways that will be removed after shortterm use, such as for construction, the logging industry, the mining industry, or large-scale construction projects, especially in confined spaces. Broader gauge railways are generally more expensive to build, but are able to handle heavier and faster traffic.

ISSUES $2.2 billion Salesforce Transit Center is still repaired after two cracked steal beams last fall. The repair is currently installing a shoring system that will allow girders to be reinforced on the bus deck above First Street. Option 1 According to an SFMTA assessment, the $9.3 billion budget to build the route beneath Third Street and the project will not complete until 2037. Option 2 The San Francisco County Transit Authority (SFCTA) decided on a $6.1 billion plan to connect Caltrain to the new Transbay Transit Terminal via a tunnel underneath Pennsylvania Avenue. Option 3 The plan would cost $5.1 billion and complete by 2026, a year earlier than the Pennsylvania Avenue route. However, it means that trains will run at the surface level through busy traffic. CONCLUSION If San Francisco Caltrain Station runs as the main transit hub, it is going to cost less budget as well as less construction time due to the unused site and it still has the potential to develop. Furthermore, the San Francisco Caltrain Station brings the new transportation facilities to highlight the SOMA quality life of residences.

1.05 RESEARCH SUMMARY
The research has shown that Soma has a need for a new transformation of transportation mode to lessen the traffic within the local area. Many areas in San Francisco has eventually to turn into other infrastructures such as mixed-use building or public space due to the downgrade of car ownership. The research has shown the car ownership decreases in San Francisco and the city building department does not require a new building to have a parking area. Furthermore, carpool/car-share systems have brought convenience to the local and Uber also has researched the airplane carpool, which even makes the commute of local people move faster in terms of time-consuming and economy. In the area, where all the tech companies have significantly developed, transportation should be equivalent to social change. For Soma Caltrain station, the research proposes a new redevelopment to bring the city the opportunities to adapt to the true needs of people. The complex station will have a short term airport in the roof, the fast train on the ground, where the garage concept can be utilized into a working space along with the retail and food courts into the program. The redevelopment goal of SOMA Station is to create a safer transportation experience for everyone, making the transit, walking, cycling, taxi, ride-sharing, and carsharing the preferred means of travel, improve the environment and quality of life in San Francisco, and create a workplace that delivers outstanding service.

The building shape allows the natural ventilation and lighting into the interior space to reduce the energy usage. Due to the site squarefootage, geothermal system design is the best method to maximize the energy for heating and cooling within the building. With the mini park located on the left, grey water can be used for irrigation.

Mark Mueckenheim and Eric Reeder. Thank you for guiding me through the thesis from the beginning to the end of this complex project. It has been tough and challenging due to the scale and program in this mega station project, however, the consequences deliver nicely and the works are definitely paid off. Very pleasure to work with Eric in the pre-thesis for choosing the topic, braining the ideas and how my thesis can be new typology for architecture, very thankful to have Mark as the thesis mentor, who walked me through every aspect of design and how to approach the key design in this mega station project. Mark Mueckenheim, Yim Jew, David Gill, Eric Reeder, Maria Paz De Moura Castro, Alberto Bertoli, Keith Plymale, Ethen Wood, Mark Myers.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Also, I can’t finish the project nicely without the physical helps and mental supports of my fiance. All the dedications that mom has given to me, all the expectations that dad has oriented to me. They are the real reasons for me to work hard in order to proudly achieve this thesis and this master degree in architecture. All of the above, great journey, great exploration, great companion, great learning and definitely great environment in the Academy of Art University has given to me. FALL 2019
