Structure

The construction of the waiting hall will be similar to a construction type called monocoque. This technique supports the structural load by using the object's external skin. The technique can also be called the structural skin. A good reference of the usage of this technique is the Porsche pavilion in Wolfsburg, Germany.

In this project they used sheets of stainless steel cladding with welded ribs. These were prefabricated and assembled on site.

Materials

The materialisation of the piers have two options:

1. It can be build in a traditional way with piles and pillars with wooden floor on top of it.

2. Or it can be made with the same technique as the waiting hall.

Using the monocoque technique on the piers will fit the concept of continuity, because the waiting hall and the piers should be a gesture that divides in two parts (waiting hall and piers). This also depends on the connecting projects, whether they will support this idea or not. However, to make a continuous motion and to make a strong gesture with the connections, usage of this technique is really important.

Access

Accesability to and trough the project is the main focus of the design. Entering and leaving this design should not be seen just a project on its own, but more like a finishing link between the other projects. The experience of the smooth and the continuous change while going from project a nearby project to another is top priority.
