Dead Space Remediation
(broadway junction)
experiential levels
functional structures
organization of programs
how does a transportation structure function?does it have more than one goal?is efficiency the only priority?can it be a vibrant community hub?
My project aims to explore the remediation of dead space at broadway junction. The structure of the station is surrounded by decaying and derelict properties, despite a large weekly ridership. The project attempts to address concerns of convenience, commercial activity, programming, and provision of amenities for commuters.
How can underutilized spaces be turned into produc-tive and useful community assets? how can a stock of nearby deteoriating transportation infrastructures be transformed into structures that provide a flexible and intriguing spatial solution.
what are the possibilities for addressing community problems through unorthodox implementation of programs.

nobody wants to stay, everybody has to wait...
commercial green spacetransportation
sidewalks offer no shelter as commut-ers wait for the bus. The dot proposed a
bus canopy for the site initially, but it was never built.
local commercial opportuni-ties are inconvenient at best, and non-existent for the most part.

1recycling retired train carsfinding better uses for existing transportation infrastructure
what do we do with them now?
currently new york city donates unusedand retired traincars to states such as delaware and south carolina
These cars are dumped into the ocean for use as artifical reefs.
These reefs benefit wildlife, but the transport of the train cars is expensive, and the benefits are far away
current storage procedures leave trains outdoor in large railyards such as the one
located directly north of broadway junction station

aether’s Airstream Conversion

how else can these trains be used?Aether’s successful conversion of an airstream trailer into a high commercial space demonstrates a successful precedent for creative reinterpretation of this type of space.

revitalization planhow can incremental changes and the streamlining of programs create overarching spatial usage change
Step by Step transformation of user experience and site interaction
By imposing limited interventions using recycled materials it would be possible to transform this underutilized and at times dangerous space into a vibrant and useful community space, with efficient programs for transportation, storage and new commercial opportunities.

The re-designed space will not only provide valuable jobs to the community, but serve as a community hub and social forum for the 50,000 people who use it everyday. the transformation of the space will have positive implications for the surrounding neighborhood.
