Transportation hubs such as train stations, airports, subway stations, or bus stops are considered 'non-places', according to Marc Augé. Transitional spaces without identity that are oriented towards pure functionality. But how will they change in the context of a near-future mobility, will they continue to be characterized by efficiency and rapid transit?
The Living Hub at the entrance to the new campus is a reference to a classic gas station, but in fact it is part of a new kind of transportation system made up of public and individual movements. Its intersections have functional aspects, but also offer space for relaxed perceptions and encounters. Shaped in curved forms, green architectural elements, inviting seating and various parking spaces for micro-mobile vehicles communicate the idea of a sustainable and community-oriented future.
