Understanding the theory of emergence, a phenomenon when smaller or simpler entities interact [in an environment] to cause a more complex behavior as a collective, the studio drove upon understanding complex urban movement patterns through intense observation and analysis of agency [as an android] movements on site. Vadodara Municipal Corporation has proposed a re-design for Vadodara City Bus Station to include shelter for vehicles, information areas, public waiting area, public conveniences, eating areas/shopping areas [concourse] plus pedestrian connectivity to Vadodara railway station and Vadodara Central Bus Station. The site for this studio is located in Baroda at the junction of three transport hubs, the railway station, an intercity bus station and the yet to be redesigned city bus station. The design objective is to work out a space [-system] which streamlines the movements of agencies by predetermining desired/undesired encounters derived from site analysis and strategized with emergence logic, to eliminate unnecessary chaos.
