Innovation Precinct & Transport Interchange Pattern

STRASBOUR TRAMWAY, ALSACE

Illustrated in all previous and proposed instances of Transportation Interchanges and Innovation Precincts within Christchurch we begin to pose the question, why should they be centralised? Could these programmes be designed to cater to nodes of focal points along the city center? Beginning to break away from notion of centralisation, the proposal of an Urban Corridor starts to situate itself through High Street, Cathedral Square and Victoria Street, known as the entrances and exits of the City Center the linear composition acts through these streets supported through the backbone of the transportation corridor.

The Strasbour tramway situated in Alsace illustrates the implementation of the shared street system. Integrating the tramway with pedestrian space, the urban environment creates a different spatial quality in which relies heavily around public transportation. The building set back allows for areas where these bus stations situate and depict how the public function through this space.

Mutualism

CONCEPT

The doctrine that mutual dependence is necessary to social well-being Symbiosis that is beneficial to both organisms involved. Mutualism is the symbiotic relationship in which two organisms of different species co-exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from one another. Exploring the mutualistic supporting relationship between various species within the ecosystem. Investigating how their structure of the relationship is built and how it is influentially impacts human elements.

Urban Radius

The placement of the Bus Stops, Bicycle Stations and Courtyards fixate itself with the urban scale and how the public interact within the social environment. It is shown that most people will only walk around 400 metres or 5 minutes to these Intermodal transport facilities. Literature shows that most people will only walk around 400 metres or 5 minutes to a bus stop and that the distance they will walk depends on factors such as carrying bags, age, weather, topography, etc. The key is to try to have most households within 5 minutes walk of a bus stop. If bus stops are too far apart, people will not walk to the bus but if bus stops are too close together, the bus will have to stop often and the trip will take a long time. The spacing used must not only have regard to typical pedestrian walking distances but also to the attractiveness of the bus route as a safe, convenient and efficient way to travel.

Case Study

THIRD GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL

WXY Architecture

The Third Grand Terminal looks at the public spaces in and around the 100-year-old station that comes up with a strategy for the future. With deep experience in civic projects, the firm has proposed opening up more public space to city dwellers and visitors for enjoyment and reflection. The plan would also create inviting thoroughfares devoted to pedestrians and bicycle riders. The pedestrian/auto hybrid strategy includes making Vanderbilt Avenue a pedestrian-only walkway. The west side of the site Park Avenue viaduct, would become an elevated promenade featuring tall grass plantings and glass paving -- a space for reflection hovering over the city bustle. Different in were the GCT revolved around a central station, aspects of the design refer to a relative similarity towards the Urban Corridor proposal. Intergrating paving, leisure spaces and the enforcement of public transportation.

Analysis of previous works by Yvonne Mak, Eric Nakikima and Justin Baatjes investigates the pattern of road network in relation to the citys population and vehicle transport. Illustrated we see that only 18% of the working poplulation use methods of public transport, where as the remaining travel through private vehicles. Evident that more cars are present within Christchurch than the population, these statistics indicate the increased growth of personal vehicles as opposed to public transportation.

Intermodal Transportation

Illustrated in all previous and proposed instances of Transportation Interchanges withing Christchurch we begin to pose the question, why should a transportation interchange be centralised? Could a transport system be designed to cater to nodes of focal points along the city center? Beginning to break away from notion of centralisation, the design of Intermodal transit facilities starts to situate itself through High Street, Cathedral Square and Victoria Street, known as the entrances and exits of the City Center the linear composition acts as a urban corridor for te transportation system. The Intermodal Transit Facilities implement various programmes in which integrates itself within the Urban Corridor. These Facilities Are broken into 4 Phases. Reestablishing Urban Links, Introducing the Mutualism Plazas, Integration of Furnishing and Connection Shelters.

PHASE 1

Re-establishing Urban Links

As we analyse the problems of the city and the solution of an intermodal transit facility, we begin to realise that the city is in a high need for pedestrian activity. Integration of a shared street within this Urban Corridor within the site allows for the reestablishment of Urban Links towards Christchurch. The Shared Streets essential goal is an approach in which minmises the use of Private transport vehicles in this Corridor and the encouragement of pedestrian and public transportation. The major change of converting the 4 lane roads of High, Victoria Streets and Cathedral Square curbs this density within the city inviting more pedestrian flow into the site. As High, Victoria Street and Catherdral Square have relatively large street widths the integration of the shared street allows for this pedestrian space. Minimising the amount of roads within this corridor use of a One-way tram lane in wic operates through this Linear Passage provides sufficient space. Allowing for trams to travel in both directions implimenting the use of pit-stops allows for transits to pass one another allowing time effiency while preventing collisions

Networking Courtyard & Paving

Intergration of Courtyards comes at the second Intermodal Facility within the Transport Corridor. Derived from the key diagram for the mutalistic relationship, the networking of the courtyards is informed through the connections made through relative entrances of buildings within the Precincts proximity. The voids within these points of intersections composes te following green spaces and furnishing. Along with the Urban link paving is also informed by this mutualism networking along the shared street where as the courtyard is a design in which integrates programmes within its vicinity to bring them towards the focal point of the Corridor.

Integration of Furnishing

Courtyards informed through this mutualism of relative buildings brings forth design of furnishing integrated within these sites. Voids of these connections creates submerged seating spaces allowing the public space for leisure outside of the precincts. Lighting is essentially provided through European Street Lamps which follow the paving, the furnishing seating spaces also provide lighting through LED fixtures on the sides of the steps.

Connection of Shelters

Enforcing the mutalistic paving throughout the Transport Corridor, shelters are informed through this link. Following the sense of a loop the Tram Shelter scales the paving through a vertical axis as it sets back towards the paving, moving from paving, to shelter in one linear coheriency. In consideration of the tram line, these shelters are situated witin the center of the pit-stop island of the lane. Allowing for the shelter to catered to both sides of the tram, benches facing each other are located for each adjacent side.

Each cells initial growth, the trees environment informs how the cell is shaped. Factors such as temperature and water availability affect this. A second type of cell transformation will only happen if there is an external force on the cell, sch as a fungal attack or a wound. Studies of these circulations and cell transformations formed the basis of my mixed- use space concept. A structurally regular and pragmatic exterior skin envelops the space andconfines an environmentally stable condition within, while an organic form permeates thestructure, piercing a nd shrouding it at various points, similar to the way a fungus was obserued to more through the cells of a tree. The two forms remain structurally separately.

The tower is situated on a nine-story podium base offering market-rental housing with a mix of commercial and retail space. The tower takes its shape after the sites complex urban conditions aiming to optimize the conditions for its future inhabitants in the air as well as on the street level.
