Production Technology

Utilizing cutting edge technology, the production and realization process involves expertise in AutoCAD for precision, coupled with advanced 3D modeling in SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, and 3ds Max. The final touch comes with realistic rendering using Lumion and Corona and enhanced visuals through Photoshop.

Design Challenge

Designing transit systems presents challenges in scalability and human connectivity. Achieving seamless integration between land and waterfront areas while prioritizing sustainability and human centric design enhances the daily commuting experience. Balancing the complexity of the macro scale infrastructure with the harmony of the micro scale urban fabric ensures a holistic and user riendly transit system.

Project Duration

The project was designed for the Historical city of Brno, Czech Republic. This design project was in Savannah, Georgia from September 2021 to June 2022.

Operation Flow

Brno's station prioritizes functionality, boasting efficient vehicular flow and seamless tram connections. Its open concourse encourages community engagement, with security facilities, market pods, amphitheaters, and a historical museum. Pedestrian friendly bridges facilitate connectivity and social interaction, offering panoramic views. The design aims for a pleasant, safe, and interactive space, addressing structural concerns with durable materials and prefabrication techniques.

Research

As part of an M.Arch thesis, the project delves into the pivotal link between urban transit and humancentric design. It investigates how mass transit rail systems can integrate harmoniously into urban settings, promoting social interaction and addressing commuter requirements. Through understanding this interplay, the project aims to craft welcoming and accessible urban spaces.

Inspiration

Brno's rich history as a royal stronghold and hub of Moravian nobility, alongside its turbulent 20th century past and current role as a bustling regional center, emphasizes the critical necessity of a robust transit system. Such a system would reflect Brno's resilience, connectivity, and dedication to progress, aiding residents and visitors in navigating its diverse cultural landscape.
