The Two Concepts

  Concept 1: Design to elude time.     Concept 2: Architecture seen as 

                                                              kinetic and dynamic- embodies 

                                                              the machine.

Elude is defined as 'evade or escape from, typically in a skillful or cunning way'.

The structure eludes time by the use of curves and straight lines at the same moment. The curves give the form a modernistic touch whereas the straight lines, grounded in the past. 

One only sees an object in motion when it is related to a stationary object. The presence of the curvilinear forms, when contrasted with the rectangular prisms epitomise the structure's dynamical qualities. When combined with the motion of the light rail and the people, even the mundane rectangular prisms appear to be moving due to their orientation.  

Electroliquid Aggregation Quote:

Time and motion are intertwined, so much so that a simple curve in a structure can hint the presence of movement through both time and space. 

The Image Captures and Architecture 

Glass in structures has an interesting effect of depicting the presence and absence of the object at the same time.  The decision to make a glass staircase was implemented on the same grounds. 

Similar to the prior mentioned calibre of glass, the two spaces are so connected that they become accessible to each other but without becoming dependent.

The positioning of the two tracks, i.e., one on the ground and the other one on the upper rectangular prism is so enforced to achieve separate spaces without disturbing the main traffic.
