THE IMAGE CAPTURES AND ARCHITECTURE

LUMION SCREENSHOTS

CONTEXT & SCALE:

Shot during the early afternoon, showing the surrounding context of the buildling as well as scale, located near the entrance of main walkway. Entrace however has been intentionally moved away from the walkway to prevent overcrowding.

ENTRANCE FACADE:

Demonstrating the main facade, with the stairs extending out to greet the users, and mirror sculpture establishing itself as an icon and point of reference for the tram stop.

LIGHT RAIL ENTRY POINT:

High angle shot from just above the train shows the view which would be seen as a passenger. Here the passengers experience changing perspectives as the sculpture emerges from behind the tree and reflects different images as the tram passes by. We also see a second point of entry, slightly separated from the main entrance so that disabled users may enter at their own pace whilst not feeling excluded or alienated. This is important as the light rail may be very busy at times and should be taken as a safety precaution as well as providing a second point of entry to divide traffic.



INTERIOR SHOTS:

Eye-level interior shot of the station from entry point, showing the ample space for waiting whether it be standing or sitting. The two points of entry can be seen in the middle and on the left whilst the eclipse moon shaped columns provide a balance between lightning and shade.

Low-angle shot of the reflective mirrored roof which ties in with the concept of "changing perspectives", as a passenger moves throughout the stop the view above can be interesting whilst they part to the exit as the curved surface provides distortions as well as reflective lighting.

Eye-level shot of a user entering via the main entrance, we can see how the entrance is kept well lit at night, as well as the dispersion of the entrance tiling to ease them from the welcoming stairs onto the platform and to encourage movement away from the entrace shown by the applied texture to the floor.

SOCIAL SPACES:

Eye-level shot of the social areas outside the stop we can see the atmosphere created by the sculptures amplifies the relaxed mood of conversation and relaxation. The spaces vary from open, to more personal and private areas even though they remain open to the public. This allows the stop to suit to every individuals needs, whether they be student or teacher.

High angle shot of the light rail stop at night shows how some areas are more well lit than others, giving a range of choices. Whilst it may be easy to assume everyone prefers well lit areas at night I felt like a station entirely lit would subtract away from the stop's mood changing with the time of the day. The stop is designed to offer different moods during the day, rather than always well lit quite like a 7-11 store.
