(mentor) Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department Architecture Programme Complex Projects Date 2015-07-03 Abstract The Thesis and architectural Design is part of the studio's attempt to rethink and reorganise the US-Mexico border region. We found that although the region has a lot of potential, hostile politics and problems of mobility result in a region which is unable to deal with its problems, and the potential remains untapped. In absence of the border between Calexico-Mexicali, the architecture of a train station is used to connect multiple divided urban areas. A large volume is elevated above the landscape, connecting different urban areas. A shaded public route underneath the slab, connect to the mixed functions above, Making the trainstation an urban connection to travel trough, but also a destination.
