Comparing to railway stations which have acquired urban roles had a major impact on the new City’s Form, Underground Stations tend to be disconnected of the City and practically form another urban layer. Usually the only architectural element which connects the two layers is a circulation structure which will be shown later on. “Kontroll” (Control), frames from the movie

Renderings of the proposed design for the High Line, NYC Using the mantra “keep it simple, keep it quiet, keep it wild, keep it slow,” the design team created a conceptual framework for the High Line as a whole and for elements along the length of the structure, including planking for the hard-surface pathways, planting, furnishings, access, railings, and lighting. The architects contrast their plan for a slow-paced High Line with the fast-paced Manhattan streets that lie beneath: The plan establishes the High Line as its own world, albeit one that meets the essential operational needs of security, maintenance, environmental sustainability, historic preservation, and commercial activity.

  29. 2 Research Questioning my Question Why offer a City and a railway station Mediator? If I now again return to my primary question which wandered about the role of an urban transportation station or system, in the information era, I should ask myself: why a mediator, or why focusing on the connection to the city? (What kind of a connection) Two questions are running through my mind: 1. What is today’s city? 2. Is there a a connection (the kind that I talk about) between other buildings and the city? No. 1 Is so hard to start with… 2. I can look for examples for that: CCA Competition for the design of cities (NY) And back to stations A railway station defining a place (Lille). A transport network helps defining a city (curitiba) The railway station, as a new type of a building redefined a new city space. (history) Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  31. 2 Research NY: CCA Competition for the design of cities Winner: Peter Eisenman PROJECT PROPOSAL: The City and Building as a UnityIn the twentieth century, the modern architectural project revolved around the city and the social relationships of the individual to the group. In this sense, it contained the necessary duality of inclusiveness and separation. On the one hand, it was necessary to allow the individual, that is, the new psychological subject, to enter into the city and participate in its evolution. This required a certain openness and fluidity of access and motion. On the other hand, the city needed to find separate places within its structure for the different psychological collectives: the new ethnicities, the defining classes, and so forth. Here the issue was not simply inclusion or exclusion but rather the nature of the new boundaries that could accommodate the desires of these groups for their own identifiable urban spaces. The duality of the modern project occurred between these two limits: the needs of the individual and the needs of the group with respect to the city. The effects of the modern project on the urban fabric have been problematic at best. For example, when aspects of Le Corbusier's urban proposals for the Ville Radieuse and the Plan Voisin were integrated in the public housing projects built in New York City in the 1950s and 1960s, the former texture of the urban fabric was ripped apart.Today the city operates with a postmodern consciousness, which erases the clear boundaries and singular identities that typified the modern project. Difference is now dispersed ? it is everywhere and nowhere ? but it is not lost. The postmodern city undercuts common identities; its references are harder to read. Boundaries and edges are blurred by this dispersed otherness, for difference is now experienced as a collective phenomenon. This condition requires not only a different urban pattern and texture from the modern but also a more subtle one. One of the paradoxes of our time, which in a sense is a post-postmodern time, is that the new nature of the computer and its speed of computation can reinstate "the natural" in opposition to the alienated mechanisms of the Machine Age, which opposed nature. For example, the folding and warping of surfaces made possible by the computer appear to us as natural conditions. At the same time, computation can restore the unpredictable and unforeseeable to human intentionality and thus to architecture Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  32. 2 Research NY: CCA Competition for the design of cities Winner’s proposal, Peter Eisenman This paradox occurs because the digital computational processes, which are essentially on/off (+/-), can be speeded up to introduce such a level of complexity that what was formerly striated space, such as the urban grid, can be made to appear smooth. Conceptually, this smoothness is analogous to the structure of a piece of felt, which, because of the density of its weave, makes what is literally striated appear smooth. The computational paradox of (+/-) has the potential to activate a new kind of urbanism, one with new densities and textures created by new proximities.In the world of digital information that occupies the postmodern city, there is also a different space/time condition, one that resides between the former classical dialectic of reality and appearance: this is the virtual. The virtual is a condition in real space that contains the oscillation between past and present time, between figure and ground, between smooth and striated space. This "between" condition of the virtual paradoxically retrieves actual spatial content, that is, the affective experience of space. Equally, the forms of computational space exceed even the most extreme forms of architectural expression, because the human hand can only draw what the eye has seen. An architect cannot presage what the computer can produce. In the history of architecture, from the Gothic to the Baroque to the modern, buildings have always been conceptualized as figural objects on a fundamentally neutral ground. In a major shift away from this thinking, our project proposes a figure/figure rather than figure/ground urbanism. While generated from the complexities that lie within a traditionally gridded ground, the new folded (or "natural") topography introduced in our project overflows this grid, forming an excessive matrix of interconnectivity that both is between figure and ground and reconstitutes each. As such, the project reframes former urban systems and opens them to more varied interpretations. This allows for an alternative urban strategy, one that is already within the existing context and that enables the old and the new to together redefine the whole. Rather than being seen as new, or as different from the old, this strategy blurs those differences through the process of the virtual, or the oscillation of (+/-). Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  33. 2 Research Our project for the west side is an amalgam of striated (existing gridded) space and a new smooth space introduced through the computer in order to blur the traditional figure/ground (+/-) distinction between building and context. This strategy can be seen in the way three "buildings" ? the stadium, the convention centre, and the new Madison Square Garden ? are integrated into a new urban fabric. Traditionally, these structures would be treated as icons of public assembly ? articulated as isolated buildings. In fact, the scale and isolation of these buildings are what has contributed to the destruction of the fabric of the city. In our project these specifically programmed spaces become part of a new continuous fabric of public urban and park space. The city and the building as a unity, as a single thought generating new urban space, blur the edges of the project and modify the city's form.The architectural idea for the west-side project is twofold. The first idea is to warp the ground ? formerly a flat datum of gridded space ? in order to make it figural. This warping gives the figured ground a + charge. As this positive (+) vector pushes upward and outward from its former ground datum (0), it creates an equal and opposite reaction in the space that is now pushed back into the ground, producing another + (if void) charge in what would formerly have been, in the figure/ground dialectic, a negative (-) charge. The double positive charges that result from the warping process lead to a figure/figure condition.The second architectural idea activates the section of the figure/figure condition in different but complementary ways. The sectional space between the building objects (+) meets the new ground, which is now a positive surface (+). The intersection of these two figures creates an interstitial space that would traditionally be seen as residual (-), or between. Here, however, this residual space is activated, so that pushing into the objects and the ground surface creates a positive (+) void space. This residual space, which was produced by the addition of solids, is now seen as figural, or +.On the southern edge, the opposite condition occurs. The warped figural surface of the ground, which now acts as a roof for structures below, is cut into to form subtractive voids. Because these voids are purposeful cuts (subtraction as opposed to addition), they take on a + charge. Thus on both the north and south edges, the voids take on a + value in section. In this way, the old, gridded space reveals the presence of a formerly hidden smooth space, and the smooth space, when cut away, reveals a gridded space. Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  34. 2 Research A station Defining a new kind of a place A city and its transport station “This project is based on the hypothesis that the `experience` of Europe will change beyond recognition through the combined impact of the tunnel that links Britain and the Europe, and the extension of the French TGV network to include London. If this hypothesis turns out to be true, the city of Lille - dormant gravity centre of a conceptual triangle - London/Brussels/Paris - which contains more than fifty million inhabitants - will magically acquire a theoretical importance as the receptacle of a wide range of uniquely `contemporary` activities.” “In this fin-de-siècle, `programs` have become abstract in the sense that they are no longer connected to a place or a city; they float and gravitate opportunistically to that site which offers the highest number and quality of connection - which seems nearest to all other places.” S,M,L,XL Rem Khoolaas From: http://www.lillegp.com/anglais/aindex.htm Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  35. 2 Research Other sources of interest John Ruskin (February 8, 1819 – January 20, 1900) was an Englishauthor, poet and artist, although more famous for his work as art critic and social critic. Ruskin's thinking on art and architecture became the thinking of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. מתוך סדנא בינלאומית לתכנית האב למתע"ן של מטרופולין תל אביב.

Over the course of his long career Holden designed buildings both in Britain and abroad. From the tallest office building in London, to war memorials, a University and the first of the great public buildings, the modern Underground Station. Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  36. 2 Research Image transformation A city and its transport system Curitiba is held as a paragon of urban planning excellence. The city has a notably efficient transportation system, including devotion of lanes on major streets for a bus rapid transit system. The buses are long, split into three sections (bi-articulated), and stop at designated elevated tubes, complete with handicapped access. The system, used by 85% of Curitiba's population, is the source of inspiration for the Transmilano in Bogotá, Colombia. The city is also remarkably successful in preserving and caring for its green areas, boasting 54 m² of green space per inhabitant. By the 1960’s, Curitiba's population had ballooned to 430,000, and some residents feared that the growth in population threatened to drastically change the character of the city. In 1964, Mayor Ivo Arzua solicited proposals for urban design. Architect Jaime Lerner, who later became mayor, led a team from the Universidad Federal do Parana that suggested strict controls on urban sprawl, a reduction in traffic in the downtown area, preservation of Curitiba's Historic Sector, and a convenient and affordable public transit system. This plan, known as the Curitiba Master Plan, was adopted in 1968. Lerner closed Rau XV de Novembro, one of the main streets, to traffic and adopted a new road design to minimize traffic. This design, called the Trinary Road System, uses two one-way streets moving in opposite directions which surround a smaller, two-lane street where the express buses have their exclusive lane. In the 1980s, the Rede Integrada de Transporte - RIT (Integrated Transport Network) was created, allowing transit to any point in the city by paying just one fare. At the same time, the city began a project called the "Faróis de Saber" (Lighthouses of Knowledge). These Lighthouses are free educational centers which include libraries, Internet access, and other cultural resources. Today, Curitiba is considered one of the best examples of urban planning world-wide. In June 1996, the chairman of the Habitat II summit of mayors and urban planners in Istanbul praised Curitiba as "the most innovative city in the world." Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

Paying around R$5,00 allows you to get on and out of the bus four times, on the attraction of your interest. Large windows allow a better sightseeing. Around downtown: These small white buses were designed to circle the downtown area, allowing pedestrians a quick way around. They don't connect to RIT. The city has 12 passenger terminals, where it is possible to change buses without having to pay for a new ticket. They are located on express buses lanes and offer many possibilities to the user. Curitiba has a very simple and practical transportation system. Public transportation consists entirely of buses. There are several different types of buses, each with a different function. Not all of them are part of RIT: Express buses: These are big high-capacity buses that have exclusive traffic lanes, spreading radially from downtown in 5 directions. They wear red livery and operate with tube-stations (above-ground bus stops, allowing quick boarding/exiting the bus) and are part of RIT. They are treated as an "above-ground subway," because of their speed, capacity and frequent service. Conventional buses: These buses also operate radially from downtown, are yellow-colored, and are not part of RIT. Interneighbourhood buses: These are green buses that travel outside downtown. Lines 1 and 2 circle outside downtown, the latter with a bigger radius. Lines 3 to 6 are important connections between some neighborhoods. They connect to RIT.

The city has 12 passenger terminals, where it is possible to change buses without having to pay for a new ticket. They are located on express buses lanes and offer many possibilities to the user. Moving around in a car can be difficult around downtown because of the many one-way streets and the high volume of traffic. This makes the public transportation system very attractive if one wants to go downtown. Apart from that, the trinary system allows a quick way downtown or vice-versa for the car driver. Most avenues are spacious and laid out in a grid, and apart from some points around downtown, traffic jams are not so severe as to unnerve the average driver. Recently, the city installed about 200 traffic radars in the streets, to help decrease the number of accidents. This technology uses sensors under the pavement which trigger a digital camera if the car is above speed limit. The picture, including date and time, is sent to the driver´s home, as a speeding ticket. The system can send these tickets to drivers anywhere in Brazil. The speed limit is usually 60 km/h on avenues, but can be 40km/h in dangerous places or where many pedestrians cross the street. Afonso Pena International Airport is Curitiba's main airport. It is located in the nearby city of São José dos Pinhais and all commercial flights operate from this airport. It is integrated in Curitiba's transportation system, with rapid buses and executive buses connecting the airport to the city. Small aircraft may use as well the Bacacheri airport, which today hosts a flight school and an airbase. Research Exercise #1 question ?? research 12

  49. ספציפית. • "רומאי"). • מה בכל זאת ההבדל בין המפרקים האלו למפרקים שיכולים להיווצר בנקודות בהן עתידה לעבור הרכבת הקלה? העובדה שתחנות הרכבת הן חלק מ-network, כלומר כל אחת מהן היא חלק מרשת נקודות רב שכבתיות. כעת יש שתי אפשרויות. הראשונה היא לטעון כי הרשת אינה רלוונטית לבעיה הרב שכבתית הנקודתית. במקרה זה אין כלל חשיבות לתחנת הרכבת; ואפשר להמשיך לפרויקט עירוני רב שכבתי שאולי קיימת בו תחנה ואולי לא. האפשרות השנייה תהיה לטעון כי היא אינה ברת – התעלמות. לדעתי שתי האפשרויות רלוונטיות. • בהתייחסות לרשת, יתכן והיא טוענת בכוח נוסף את ה"מפרק העירוני". הרשת יוצרת בין הנקודות הרב שכבתיות חיבור נטול זיהוי חללי ובעל מימדי זמן ומהירות שונים מהרגיל הצפוי בעיר. באופן מסוים, אפשר לחשוב שהחיבור הזה יוצר העלמות של מאפייני תווי החיבור ומתרחש כמו "שיגור"מנקודה רב שכבתית אחת לאחרת. העובדות האלו חשובות מכיוון שהעלמות תווי החיבור הזה יוצרת רצף או רצף יחסי בין החללים הרב שכבתיים. תפיסת העיר משתנה. במקרה זה אפשר להמשיך לפרויקט שנבנה רק מחשבות • בסמסטר שעבר נקודת המוצא שלי הייתה תחנת רכבת, הצגתי נושא שבאופן ראשוני דורש חקירה של סוג מבנה מסוים. אולם כל השאלות ששאלתי או ניסיתי לשאול סביב הנושא שהצגתי – תחנת רכבת תת קרקעית עירונית- לא נגעו לסוג המבנה כלל. המחקר שהצגתי לא נגע להתרחשות בתחנת הרכבת, התנועה שמתקיימת בה, המהות שלה כחלל שהות או מעבר. השאלות שהצגתי נגעו למיקום היחסי שלה בעיר, לתפקיד שלה בעיר, הקשר הפיזי לעיר, הקשר התפיסתי לעיר. למעט ההבחנה הבסיסית כי תחלופת האנשים בתחנת הרכבת יכולה להוות סוג של תשדורת מהעיר לעיר, לא נגעתי בנושאים הרלוונטיים לפונקציה הזו ספציפית. • על כן אעזוב לרגע את עניין הפונקציה הספציפית. נניח לדוגמא – חלל עירוני רב תכליתי מסוים באותו המיקום. העניין והבעיה נוצרים מהמיקום היחסי – חלל תת קרקעי בעיר. כלומר, ישנה נקודה מסוימת בעיר שהופכת רב שכבתית. בתל אביב, כמו בערים אחרות בעולם, ישנם חללים שחורגים מרקמתה הדו-מימדית של העיר והופכים רב שכבתיים. דוגמא למקומות כאלו – כיכר דיזנגוף, כיכר אתרים. אפשר לקרוא בחללים מהסוג הזה פוטנציאל להיות "מפרק עירוני" (המודל האחרון שלי לא מצליח להיות מפרק אלא הוא יותר איקוני, חד מימדי, "רומאי").
