London Underground

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.

City Transportation Mediator

A+B: A horizontal – vertical world requires a mediator – vertical to mediate two horizontal layers or the opposite, that mediating is done normally in just order to move from one layer to the other, and a strong physical connect doesn’t guaranty a perceptual one.

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).

When Looking at the entire Network of Underground Stations, They normally form, like with one single station, a detached layer of the Urban Circulation System, suggest another way of moving around the city and perceiving it. Thus, Metro maps may form an additional perceptual map of the city.

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.

a City, its streets and focal points

a City, its streets, focal points and transport system

Shrinking perceptual distances – old focal points, new ones.

Fabric transformation- stretching the lines between the new 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.
