Week 3 - Developed Light Rail Stop

"People can inhabit anything as they can be miserable in anything or ecstatic in anything; their kind of paradise which is the ultimate goal of architecture to create for them." 

- Rem Koolhaas & Alvaar Alto

The experience of waiting for a train is not normally expected to be pleasant, however this paradise-like design makes it something to look forward to, shown by the lounge-like seats and benches around a water fountain.

The notion of "people inhabiting anything" is clear through the fact that people can reside in these simple blob structures.

This paradise-like design allows people to experience it in different ways "as they can be miserable... or ecstatic."
