The studio brief was to design an Intermodal Station combining the existing railway station and a new bus station in the town of Chhota Udepur, Gujarat. This project focuses on clear circulation for different stakeholders and vehicles by creating bays. While the railway lines separate the site in two parts, an underpass opening in public plazas on both the sides creates a lively public place accessible to all. Using courtyards and public plaza intertwined with plants, a roof that allows ample natural light and facades maintaining climate comfort, this transit station is sensitive to bring comfort of inhabitation in spaces. 

Integrating experiences of navigating oneself in transit spaces, this collage puts together the wide range in which signages are used for wayfinding.
Case study helped in understanding the spatial qualities, ease of circulation and organisation of spaces in an intermodal transit station.
Study of appropriate dimensions and organisation within programmatic spaces individually.
Case study done to understand the coming together of structure and use of materials.
Diagrams conceptualising the derivation of form, logic for subtraction of mass and creation of volumes.
Site plan showing the organisation of spaces and intended activities.
Sections
Circulation study explaining the circulation of different vehicular types as well as pedestrian movements.
