Concepts

Inspiration by natural forms and materials

                Antony Gaudi and Santiago Calatrava  are both characterised there design projects by the natural forms and functions. Gaudi’s Casa Batillo  is inspired by the use of stone and natural forms, which can be seen in some of his design work. Gaudi's usage of stone is inspiring the rail station material which made of stone as a sustainable material that is the theme of the project. 

 

 interplay between rhythm and structure

Calatrava as an architect and engineer characterised his designs by rhythm and natural forms. He inspired by some of Gaudi’s concepts which shows the relationship between the to architects but in different design movements.

The theme of the light rail station is sustainability which is the main concern globally. Anzac Parade is moved underground to reduce the pollution of noise and toxic gas from cars that are surrounding UNSW and its accommodation buildings. The main concept of this station is use clean energy source which is the solar energy, by exchange or cover the roofs with solar energy boards.
