The terminal, designed by Stephan Sobl, uses the
typology of the Hypostyle Hall. The only Hypostyle Hall with two rows of
columns on center is one in which the spacing of each of the bays made
by the columns are equal or when the spacing between rows of columns in
the central space is less than the spacing between the row of columns
and the outer walls. This is all to say that the epitome of any
Hypostyle Hall is a field of columns and not a volume defined by
columns.
The principles of the Hypostyle Hall in the project are addressed using a field of massive and fragile columns that define a variation of spatial and volumetric interiors of the terminal.
Denser areas of the field create intimate spaces and become areas to
rest whereas less dense areas are circulation routes and contain
architectural programs.
Large enclosed spaces provided static spatial formations in the form of a performance hall.
While progressing through, these programmatic shifts breakdown in scale
into dynamic spaces, such as boutiques, restaurants, nightlife,
commercial and event spaces, eventually blending into a landscape
underneath the Highline Park. In general, these shifts in program occur
through subtle changes in surface performance and yet flow as a
coherent entity.
