Piled Intersections of Infrastructure

Piled Intersections of Infrastructure proposes a new architectural condition for contemporary transit infrastructure, replacing the modern logic of stacked floor plates with a piled arrangement of interlocking volumes. Rather than treating the station as a linear conduct of movement, the thesis understands it as a civic and tectonic condenser where mobility, housing, and collective space intersect. By allowing multiple programs, temporalities, and spatial systems to coexist in parallel, the project creates a continuous field of overlap, adjacency, and public encounter. This thesis argues for transit architecture as an active framework of convergence, capable of supporting layered urban life within one differentiated whole.
