In Transit

Time flows inconsistently - it is neither linear nor absolute. The way we experience the passing of time in our minds changes constantly throughout just one day; its pace fluctuates with our daily moods and activities. Living within the age of the internet, this discrepancy continues to grow with the possibility of being here and now and being somewhere else simultaneously. We all operate within our own time zones. There is not one single time and there is a different rhythm in every different place. 

The city is read and mapped through the lens of flowing time zones – the movement of the occupants and the narrative of archaeological artefacts unearthed from below. This map establishes a model to generate a series of systems and volumetric connections to excavate City Square with. The project seeks to restore city square as a central node; embedding civic life within the new Town Hall station. The station is no longer only transitional, but a destination to rediscover stories of the past, encounters with the unfamiliar while capturing and mediating the continuous flux of the city.
