Usually the only architectural element which connects the two layers is a circulation structure which will be shown later on. Exercise #1 3 Research Question Conceptual Models Method

6. 2 CityTransportationMediator A+B: A horizontal – vertical world requires a mediator – vertical to mediate two horizontal layers or the opposite, that mediating is done normally in just order to move from one layer to the other, and a strong physical connect doesn’t guaranty a perceptual one. C: Adding another functional layer such a hotel or a promenade increases the perceptual connection since using the same space not as a mare passage reconnects it to the city’s activities. D: When one layer becomes the other the perceptual connection gets stronger (movement, eye site).

13. 2 An Abstract representation of a city an its intercourse with its transport system: first a city and its focal points, then showing the fabric transformation due to the perceptual changing distances between each two points. a City, its streets and focal points a City, its streets, focal points and transport system Shrinking perceptual distances – old focal points, new ones. Fabric transformation- stretching the lines between the new points. Focal Points cause a fabric deformation. They seem to get closer after that deformation (inspiration – add of TGV), and gain an additional meaning through the process of traveling: the way becomes irrelevant, focal points get stronger.
