Transit In a Lego City

The key argument is formed based on the observation that the existing station is built with the assumption that it would be used in it full capacity where as in reality half of the station always remain shutoff. But this does not reduced the energy spent on its maintained. The idea then becomes to use this energy along with the scale of the station to respond to surrounding context and edge condition, something that is presently missing. The proposal tries to explore various kinds of possibilities to change, expand, or reduce as per public need. Because Metro is such a large piece of infrastructure, it should be linked to other smaller or medium-sized infrastructure plug-ins.The core idea was that plug-ins established various types of networks within an immediate context and were embedded throughout the city. Adding a new layer, Metro Car becomes the actual transportation system for providing raw materials at the site to assemble. The assembly served a diverse range of configurations to see what worked well. Floors supported by the main structural frame which connected with ground and existing concrete column.
