Developing the axo into a lightrail stop

Decided on developing this particular axonometric into sketchup

Architecture mimics natural elements and cultural values +  The space between is more important

From these blocks and the concepts, I decided on developing a canopy like structure similar to much of Vo Trong Nghia's architecture. However I also intended on utilising negative spaces and monolithic blocks that can be seen in Carlo Scarpa's work.

I started on an initial sketch based on these concepts:


From this idea I then went into sketchup and stretched out the shape and created the start of a monolithic canopy structure to fit the general dimensions of a light rail stop.

From the subdivision and curved drawing I originally intended of creating a curved roof like structure for the stops. Furthermore I developed the stop onto both sides of the road and added a bridge in between.

Here I tested out other variations of a more simplistic roofing style.

The roof I eventually decided on has dual angled layers with a structure in between. The Structure is has curved organic cutouts which fulfills the original intent of a curved roof that mimics natural elements. The flat angled surfaces also allowed space to place solar panels.
