2019 Thesis Design_A Day of Defamiarizing_Neishi Transit Station

Scenarios

The implementation of the transfer station while brings tourists to the Neishi, also destroys the originally slow and lonely pace. When society continues to develop, people become numb under the chase of time. In a fast-moving life, people gradually forget “How do we experience time?”

The new design of the transfer station proposes the possibility of redefining programs with time for the reconstruction of the station. The transfer station integrates speeds people would perceive at different heights and distances on the site with the form of a tower. The tower consists of the space with programs that intersect into a path to the top. People would slowly establish a dialogue with the external environment and time to extend people’s perception of time and speed as they climb up through space and activities (auditorium, seaview library, swimming pool, mango shaved ice shop, and capsule hotels).

Sometimes, you go to the cinema to see a nuanced exploration of the human condition. But sometimes you go to see a blockbuster in which a Nasa official (Halle Berry) and a disgraced astronaut (Patrick Wilson) hijack a space shuttle after discovering that the Moon is actually a “megastructure” built by evil aliens. With a premise like that, it’s hardly surprising that Moonfall is directed by Roland Emmerich, the maker of such sci-fi mass-destruction spectaculars as Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow. “On the one hand, this is a disaster movie,” he told Entertainment Weekly, “but it’s also a space movie; it’s about space exploration and doing crazy things like flying inside the Moon. On the other hand, on Earth, their kids are getting into serious trouble. It’s the best of both worlds.”
