Transition: A Spatial Translation

Srivastava, Ashim

Abstract Details

2007, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture.
‘Transition’ is the movement, passage or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, experience etc. to another. It is also the process by which the change or modulation happens. It provides a space to adjust from one experience to another. There can be a complete transition of mental state, mood, personality or lifestyle of an individual by transferring from one space to another. It might involve anxiety, paranoia or thrill at one end and serenity or refuge on the other. This compilation seeks a holistic perspective on ‘Transition, beginning with understanding the term ‘transition’ and tracing notions of transition in architectural discourse. Architectural experience of transfer or exchange can be best expressed through a design of an Inter-modal station where these notions of transition can be explored at a large and urban scale. Therefore, 1) The project will be a spatial translation of various notions of ‘transition’ through literature and precedents that express various aspects of this notion. 2) Apply and explore this study to design an inter-modal transit station. 3) The thesis will also investigate as to how transition spaces can be designed for a seamless transfer from one space to another and one mode of transportation to another.
