To quote the winning architects, "The task set in this competition
offers the opportunity to create a design that merges and hybridizes
areas that in the past have been strictly separated at the interface
of different structures of the urban landscape." By using
computer technologies, as many of the other participants did,
their design is able to blend the unique components of the program
into a unity through surface articulation (roof) and pedestrian
circulation (ramps). Ironically the ramp system imitates (intentionally?)
the movement of automobiles, though in this case removing the
person from their old car to await their new one.
