Play-mobile network
The project intends to socialize traffic and create a network of events within an existing rail corridor. Through the development of the project, appears the idea to integrate another program to the rail corridor in order to propose anew typologies potentially altering the image and the operation of this full of potential location. From the origins of industrialization on, the railway system created wide and exclusive urban scars which fractured the city. How can we reconcile the transportation and the architectural realms within an existing urban setting? Rethinking the design of the railway space will open to new urban opportunities. The capacity of the rail networks to continuously link people, products, images, messages and the city itself, makes it significant. The proposal uses the rail road to transform the latter in a social infrastructure with a hybridization of programs composed of daycare centers and train platforms. The notion of authority is closely related to the main program of this thesis which is daycare centers and the subjects of culture and everyday life make the link between the site and the convergence of two programs. The main intention, through landscape and architectural interventions, is to generate relationships between the commuters and young children in the city. A network of daycare centers, connected via the train line, is projected. The train become part of the daily activities of children, thus increasing their experience and expanding their comprehension of city components. Everyday patterns of daycare centers will use the public transportation, acting as a conveyor, making the children part of the urban life. Kids become the background of the stations making the infrastructure inhabited and animated all day long. The presence of children among the scheme suggests the incorporation of visual and physical playfulness to the projects. It then tackles one of my main interests concerning “ordinary/everyday” life can be enlivened by play-elements. The project tends to satisfy the humans’ dependence on the play-concept within an ever mobile and fun-raising society. Homo ludens, referring to “Man the player”, was initially discussed by Johan Huizinga, a Dutch cultural theorist, who stated that playing promotes the formation of social groupings and this is what is going to revolutionize everyday life. The creation of a sustainable and collective spine of transportation is anticipated. The overall idea is to create a social-generating passage in the city: “A play-oriented inner city gives a positive allure and offers genuine opportunities for people from different backgrounds to come together.”
