To Move Is Human: the Making of Movement Experiences
This project addresses a topic that affects and resonates through all
humans - the experience of movement and its association with freedom.
The project situates itself in a seldom explored area for architects;
the meaning, function, aesthetics and organization of infrastructure.
This allows for a re-conceptualization of rail travel and
infrastructure, which in turn, offers the possibility to enhance the
existing interstate highway system and bring mass transit back into the
American consciousness without dismissing American’s unique relationship
with the automobile.
Exploration and representations of the project were carried out
primarily through the use of digital means; most significant of these,
rule-based scripts and animations. These digital modeling techniques
coupled with new advances in computing power and software allow the
designer to create rule sets which can be manipulated in an iterative
manner within the software programs. This “scripting” allows designs to
respond to specific contextual needs while remaining universally
applicable.
Two types of rail lines were placed in the median of an existing
Interstate highway linking two urban centers approximately 90 miles
apart. This thesis project purposefully juxtaposed a typically
repetitious infrastructure (rail) against an established, variable
landscape. The infrastructure needed to respond to the changing
landscape and create enhanced experiences for travelers.
Alternative types of movement experiences were identified to create a
set of controllable inputs for a computer controlled script. These new
movement types include, Trajectory, Parallax, Frame of Reference,
Rhythm, and Control; these replace the typical references to movement of
time, speed and distance. These new experiences of movement at the
scale and speed of infrastructure is applied to the scale of
architecture in the making of several stations, which like the pylons
and rail track, respond to specific local conditions while remaining
universally applicable through the use of rule-based, parametric
control.
