Comparing to railway stations which have acquired urban roles had a major impact on the new City’s Form, Underground Stations tend to be disconnected of the City and practically form another urban layer. Usually the only architectural element which connects the two layers is a circulation structure which will be shown later on. “Kontroll” (Control), frames from the movie

C: Adding another functional layer such a hotel or a promenade increases the perceptual connection since using the same space not as a mare passage reconnects it to the city’s activities. D: When one layer becomes the other the perceptual connection gets stronger (movement, eye site).

What are the possible programs relating to the location (underground or partly underground) and the urban context (a metro station)?

Thus, Metro maps may form an additional perceptual map of the city. Madrid metro map Rome p.t. map London metro map Berlin p.t. map NY UG map Madrid map Rome map London map Berlin map NY map

Fabric transformation- stretching the lines between the new points. 5 Exercise #1 Research Question Conceptual Models Method Exercise #1 Exercise #1 Linked A city and its transport interface A Perceptual Fabric transformation An Abstract representation of a city an its intercourse with its transport system: first a city and its focal points, then showing the fabric transformation due to the perceptual changing distances between each two points. Focal Points cause a fabric deformation. They seem to get closer after that deformation (inspiration – add of TGV), and gain an additional meaning through the process of traveling: the way becomes irrelevant, focal points get stronger.
