After examining the stop surrounding, trees were possibly found as one of the most natural transitions between the University campus and the busy traffic. All individual trees are different which could be the changes from space to space and also time to time (as in one concept : within a single building he creates different 'rooms', each with their own sense of space, time, materials and textures) Thus I tried to design the model according the this rules as well as to create a organic form to admire Amanda Levete' concept.  (3 textures in the model) The glass panels incorporated in the truss can absorb more heat than normal glass as well as to create certain power to support this station (making it green and sustainable :)

Inspired by the cubic combination in different form, also inspired by 'Enric Miralles' to include changes according to different time, the following textures from light to dark were drawn:

Following 'one concept to create the stop and one concept to situate the stop', I created the following combinations 1      +  =  (or  ) Which can change to  2  +   =   ( or  ) which can change to  3  +  (or  from other side) =   which can change to  But in my design I combined   with   to create this in the following and also in Lumion in Lumion Which formed the roof of the stop as well as support of the roof trying to sit properly in the given scene.

I had picked 2 of my concepts and 4 other concepts from other student in group to initiate the design.     1 He bought the concept of life into his building. The buildings grow and change with time. (Wang) 2  His shapes seamlessly blend together to form an elegant geometrical composition. (Amy Louise) 3 Within a single building he creates different 'rooms', each with their own sense of space, time, materials and textures. (Myself)         4  She expresses organic form and material complexity by building her structures on a large scale. (Wang)      5 She experiments with materials and geometry to create seemingly weightless, but strong architectural forms that demonstrate her understanding of space and motion. (Frances)      6 She has a strong use of repetitive overlapping forms. (Wei Teng) Lumion snipped photo

I chose 'Within a single building he creates different 'rooms', each with their own sense of space, materials and textures' to describe Enric Miralles' one concept, which also implied 'changes throughout one project'. This will be my key guidance in EXP 2 and design. For Amanda Levete, I tried to conclude one concept as 'She creates organic building forms expressed using complex materials, or materials in a complex form'. When in my trials in design, I tried to pursue some meaningful and organic forms of structure.
