The idea of this project is to cause a public condenser. The space is generated using parameters as flows, views and infrastructure. The first sketch shows how the space is divided into two parts: the open square (left) and the covered square (right). The first space is a path that articulates a connection in the infrastructures and isolates from the traffic. The plaza is a slope that link east and west with vegetation in one side and twisted paths in the other making possible an underneath connection for the tube (in red). The latter square is a continuous bended ramp generated by means of warping different programmes subject to changes. The programme is guided to arts’ lovers and children but in the same way as a park allows these activities when they are needed. The covered area is defined by two different boundary condition, in one side is the road so the structure is harder and thicker, and in the other side, there is a building and a pedestrian area so materials become softer and opener.
Now I’m drawing these ideas and building a model of the open area to understand how the paths are defining with the difference of height. I’m also defining how light get into the building and how materials are used.
