| dc.description.abstract | Edmond Multimodal Transportation Hub is a project that provides opportunity, growth, and development for the city of Edmond. As Oklahoma State University Architecture students we were challenged to design a building to house this potential project in Edmond. The project was broken into three phases, schematic design, design development, and construction documents. During the first phase we were placed in teams to create the general idea of our project. As a team we concluded what the Edmond Multimodal Transportation Hub was for us, a Gateway to Next. A place that becomes a catalyst for change and breaking the rhythms of the familiar, day-to-day life of Edmond. Created to break the familiarity, the gateway beacon challenges how the city of Edmond deals with the idea of future growth. Utilizing a mixture of modern day materials, like corrugated metal and polycarbonate glass, a familiar to Edmond gable structure is dissected by a brick masonry gateway. Passengers transition through the brick structure upon their entry or exit from the city of Edmond, representing what is next for their city. The mobile hub takes what the citizens of Edmond know: Gable roofs, rhythm and patterns, brick masonry, and visually represent how they can be connected to the future development. Proportioned by box cars, the gable structure is split by the masonry gateway. Bringing people through what they know, and into what is next. See link to thesis project. | |
