The two concepts Architects: Santiago Calatrava Antoni Gaudi Statements chosen: Calatrava; "Interlay between rhythm and structure"" Gaudi; "Inspired complexity of forms derived from nature" For my design I plan to integrate "rhythm and structure" into the main section of the Tram stop. The angular and box-like forms are connected physically and geometrically to form a coherent structure which is both aesthetically appealing and highly functional. The structure reflects the statement's underlying theme of connectivity and coherence in design. The rhythm in the structure is also shown as it is made of five rectangles, but appears as one large geometry. My tram stop also is reflective of Gaudi's philosophy as part of the structure is made up of complex geometries which seem to 'grow' out of the ground and the side of the structure. I have taken this from the form and structure of nature; trees and their growth patterns.
