One day at the Terminal Architectural Design 7 : Thesis project for B.Arch Individual work Spring 011 Supervisor : Bart Reuser Critic Awards, University of Seoul Intro Recently, Physical time is still exactly the same, but Relative time is faster than before. Everything changes and transfers quickly. People don t get used to this rapid change and there is no time to think at all. There is less communication among people. Furthermore, development of architecture or cities is also influenced by the economic sense. It is unclear that changes are for whom. A dense building forest composed with apartment or shopping center and many electric signs that are closely spaced over the dense buildings are the visible aspects of cities we meet every day. People are exposed to noise of buses, subways and other people, also there are no place to seat. Each apartment is eager to make their own oasis. Places which are able to form public community become rare.

One side terminal building can change to be alive if terminal program spreads out all over the land. # Bus circulation and outdoor programs are under of the waiting space. Speedy bus circulation is related with departure, arrival and maintenance spaces, so waiting space can have large space. It is efficient. # Going up, spaces for meditating and thinking appears. 7
Plan & Section Strategy Departure, Arrival, Maintenance, and Parking lots are efficient if it is one circulation. At ground level, car access and people circulation naturally works. Indoor space mass of terminal is lifted up. People are going up to waiting space for ticketing and waiting. Because terminal mass has park and resting place, waiting space makes comfortable. People can go up silent place naturally. And they can meditate in silent space before taking on the bus.
