2019 Thesis Design_A Day of Defamiarizing_Neishi Transit Station

Station Tower

H24/Capsule Hotel

Lying in the capsule, people see the sea and the stars in a distance. After a day of travel, it is time to say goodnight. Goodnight Neishi!

Walking through the narrow corridor, there is the endless sea.This is a space for a person and the sea. The height of the tower has brought people closer to the sea.The slow slap of the sea is like the silent poem.

M120/Time-lapse Swimming Pool

People's perception of time becomes unclear as the height goes higher. However, the glass pool that extends out of the wall allows people to look back at busy traffic systems that operate orderly.

M120/Sunset Mango Shaved Ice Shop

The two-hour procedure of sunset is the most recognizable time-change period of the day Facing the direction of sunset, mango shaved ice shop is the last destination for travelers who are not going to check-in in the capsule hotel Eating a bowl of shaved ice along with the scenery of sunset slowly falling into the beautiful Taiwan Strait is such an enjoyment.

T1230/Auditorium

The residents of the Neishi go to church from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm every Sunday The light effect in the chapel changes when time goes by. The direct light at 12:30 will light up the stage that the priests and performers stand on and magnified people’s perception of lapse of time.

Platforms/Waiting Room

The platform and the transport level are the intros to the transfer tower The form of tower is in sharp contrast to the flat base, making people curious about the tower and the external environment.

The transparent hydraulic elevator from the bottom all along to the top of the towers allows passengers to view the spaces and activities in the tower. While the elevator rises, the distance between the passenger and the sky is getting closer. In the closed volume, the elevator serves as a light well which produces different light effects in the tower while people are using the elevator.

The new design of Neishi transit station redefines spaces on people's path up to the top of the tower with a specific code; T stands for timing, M for minutes, and H for hours. Different codes represent specific moments or durations in which people experience these spatial experiences caused by light, sound, and the speed of the external environment. With these experience, people will feel different ways that time flies during climbing and begin a dialogue with the external environment around them.
