Porosity of surface/ space.

Expressing the fluid material property of concrete through form.

Exploring the possibilities of fluid space through the use of porous forms and materials.
Fornes evolves the possibilities of space through the creation of pavilion like, undulating, overarching structures that are never enclosed. His forms enable unrestricted circulation, whilst having some form of a divider of space, the space is always continuous and fluid. Not only are his structures porous in plan but also in their chosen materials, mediating the inside and out, adding dynamism to the experience of the space.
Niemeyer on the other hand, drawn towards communism offered monumental structures that expresses a notion of wholeness with the fluid property of concrete. By strategically placing each joint Niemeyer achieves continuous surfaces thus an illusion of "unity" where the distinction of each element is blurred.
With the two concepts combined, I hope to explore the porosity of structure and material in my light rail stop design, eventually achieving an open plan that allows dynamism and a structure that unifies its elements.

Chosen Theme
Sustainability
The awareness of sustainability of UNSW students needs to be raised and addressed. With the rapid growth of urbanization and fast paced city lifestyle, man tends to forget about the natural elements in life thus ignorant of the present problems countered by our environment today. To stimulate appreciation and interest of nature amongst our students, my light rail stop design attempted to feature components that will hopefully note the importance of nature.
