VA AIA 2022 COMPETITION
THIS PROJECT ASKED US TO DESIGN A NEW TRAIN STATION FOR THE NEW RIVER VALLEY, NEAR BLACKSBURG VIRGINIA. THIS PROPOSITION CELEBRATES THE COLUMN, A COMMON ELEMENT THAT REPEATES ITSELF ALONG A STATION PLATFORM. SKYLIGHTS, LOCATED BOTH ALONG THE PLATFORM AND IN THE MAIN STATION VOLUME, ALLOW GRACEFUL AMOUNTS OF LIGHT TO FLOOD IN AND HIGHLIGHT THE STRUCTURE. ON THE FACADE OF THE STATION A CORTEN SCREEN CONCAVES AND CONVEXS AS A MEANS TO ANIMATE THE FACE OF THE BUILDING. THIS ALSO ALLOWS FOR INTIMATE AREAS WITHIN THE SCREEN FOR VEGETATION, ALLOWING FOR A SERENE IMAGE FOR PASSENGERS AS THEY WAIT FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE TRAINS.
