Science Park Station by Mingfei Song
The Science Park Station project is a project by second year Interior Architecture student, Mingfei Song. The project uses detailed site analyses of natural elements like: light, wind, noise, circulation patterns, surrounding city fabric and host architectural structure to generate the formal characteristics, material choices and structural composition of a new architectural intervention. The Science Park Station is located at the end of the Boston MBTA Green line on the Lechmere terminus and is one of a small number of remaining elevated rapid transit stations in the MBTA system.
This project was created as part of an assignment from a parametric studio lead by guest professor Michael Beanman. The goal of the studio was to design an architectural surface that functioned as an intermediary between the human experience and a desired program. The students were required to do research on subjects that could be applied to their surface design, to focus on either structure or program, and to eventually translate their research into a design for one of five subway stops in Boston.
Mingfei selected the Science Park Station as her site because of it’s diversity and it’s unique relationship to local natural and urban landscapes. The complexity of that relationship became the focus of her parametric study, and eventually, the structure of her Architectural intervention.
Mingfei focussed her parametric study on the natural structural properties of the spine and the natural canopy structure of of plants (specifically broccoli) to inspire the structure of her intervention. Ultimately the goal was to create a structure that could absorb noise from the surrounding highway and create shelter for people using the subway.
