Flying Floors
8401, Executive Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, United States
SITE: The Main
Ticketing Pavilion, on the ground floor.
The second floor is a balcony, a mezzanine, over the ticketing
area. Off to the side, an escalator goes
up and down between floors.
PROGRAM: A waiting
area for passengers, at the end of the ground floor.
PROJECT: At the end
of the ticketing pavilion, the floors come loose. It’s as if, now that there’s
nowhere else to go, the floors take off in flight. The ground floor swoops up
onto the mezzanine, while the mezzanine sweeps down onto the ground floor. The
flying floors release plantings from under the ground, as if a jungle was there
all the time, waiting to spring out; plantings climb up the underside of the
flying floors. As the floors fly, they form seats for people within the
plantings, and up in the air, and under the floor.
This mix of floors makes an indoor park, a pocket park, at
the end of the departures terminal. On
the one hand, it functions as a sign:
the release of the ground floor, the rise of the ground floor, leads
travelers upstairs, to the gates. On the
other hand, it functions as a travelers’ garden, a respite, a place to gather
their thoughts and their belonging, before going on to the next stage of their
trip.
