The Impetus of Locomotion

The "Impetus of Locomotion" takes the implication of a force in which movement happens. This thesis takes this connotatively resonant idea in which movement is construed and creates a static definition of it in a building, in this case a high speed rail station - a literal translation of movement. Through design interventions of modes of transportation, wayfinding, and architectural form, the impetus of locomotion is defined.
