Static and Dynamic Forces [SDF]

Two phenomenons are represented on the site.
The platform together with the gallery can be seen as the static part of the site.




The dynamic part, the ephemeral, are the trains.
They both live of/on each other. The platform would not be anything without the trains, and the platform without its train would then not be a platform anymore.


The place is interesting, because it is undergoing a process of change. A change from only being a place for transfer, to a place of pause. A platform is in my eyes ephemeral architecture in its purest form. People getting on, people getting of, changing direction, getting lost etc. these procedures are supported with a plateau(architecture), which gives the users a space to do their Ephemeralization in the time inbetween. This time is the ephemeral pause, which break, connects and redirects back to reality...

Suggestions have already been made to embrace these "forces" which are naturally present at the site, the kaleidoscope.
