Relation Station

Skulthai - Hussey Seatings Design Contest
Honorable Mention
Along the tracks that run through Phayathai district, a large local community lives aside. Children there have no proper area to play; they play on the train tracks, which does not likely support in developing standard skills and more importantly, it is unsafe. Meanwhile, sports are activities everyone can participate, promote a healthy lifestyle, practice discipline, and also keep the unhealthy community from forbidden activities.
Thus, RELATION STATION's purpose is to meet the public’s lack of a waiting platform for the train, and the local’s lack of a recreation center. Combining the facilities makes a stop for both sides, creating opportunities to meet and interact more than ever. The flexible seatings play an important role in linking the platform right to the gym, allowing the waiting people to observe and enter the gym quickly, Sports would the become a bonding activity where people learn to share, educate, to acknowledge. The Station would become a place to the public and the locals embrace each other.
