He tāone e hāngai ana ki ngā paparanga maha, ngā whare, ngā wāhi tuwhera, me ngā tāngata. I whakaaweahia e Jan Gehl, ka whakauru a Intertwine i te tūkunga tōmau kia whakapaihia te taunekeneke ā-hapori me te ia o te tāone, e whakatakoto ana i te mahere whānui mō ngā wāhi tūmatanui ora, i te wā tonu e whakatau ana i te tipu tāone me ngā wero. Mā te whakatipu i tētahi huarahi aro tangata ka whakapakari i te pānga ōhanga me te taiao mā ngā hoahoa pū tuwhera me ngā wāhi powhiri. Ko Intertwine, he ariā matakite mō te noho tāone rūmaki. Ka whakakotahi māmā i te oranga tāone hei whakatairanga i te taunekeneke ā-hapori, hei whakanui hoki i te wheako tāone.

Unique Properties: Brno's transit system links the city center with trolleybuses, trams, and trains. Stops are strategically placed near amenities, enhancing convenience. The new gateway railway line prioritizes sustainability and integrates seamlessly with the built and natural environment. It features a central concourse plaza, tracks, a museum, a cycling track, and a city viewpoint, fostering vibrant centers and a sense of community.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site specifications: Width 302.8mm x Depth 339.6mm x Height 40mm Area: 102,852.20 sq.m. Track Area: 47,830.42 sq.m. Platforms: 7 (elevated 5.5m above ground) Construction materials: Precast concrete, steel pipe frame, ETFE panels, composite columns, and lightweight walls. Innovative Features: Morphogenic columns, transparent roof coverings, skylight openings, solar panels for sustainability, electric bike trails connecting waterfront and plaza areas, third level trails with restaurants, and museum displays.

Production Technology: Utilizing cutting edge technology, the production and realization process involves expertise in AutoCAD for precision, coupled with advanced 3D modeling in SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, and 3ds Max. The final touch comes with realistic rendering using Lumion and Corona and enhanced visuals through Photoshop.
Design Challenge: Designing transit systems presents challenges in scalability and human connectivity. Achieving seamless integration between land and waterfront areas while prioritizing sustainability and human centric design enhances the daily commuting experience. Balancing the complexity of the macro scale infrastructure with the harmony of the micro scale urban fabric ensures a holistic and user riendly transit system.
Research: As part of an M.Arch thesis, the project delves into the pivotal link between urban transit and humancentric design. It investigates how mass transit rail systems can integrate harmoniously into urban settings, promoting social interaction and addressing commuter requirements. Through understanding this interplay, the project aims to craft welcoming and accessible urban spaces.
Inspiration: Brno's rich history as a royal stronghold and hub of Moravian nobility, alongside its turbulent 20th century past and current role as a bustling regional center, emphasizes the critical necessity of a robust transit system. Such a system would reflect Brno's resilience, connectivity, and dedication to progress, aiding residents and visitors in navigating its diverse cultural landscape.
Project Duration: The project was designed for the Historical city of Brno, Czech Republic. This design project was in Savannah, Georgia from September 2021 to June 2022.
Operation Flow: Brno's station prioritizes functionality, boasting efficient vehicular flow and seamless tram connections. Its open concourse encourages community engagement, with security facilities, market pods, amphitheaters, and a historical museum. Pedestrian friendly bridges facilitate connectivity and social interaction, offering panoramic views. The design aims for a pleasant, safe, and interactive space, addressing structural concerns with durable materials and prefabrication techniques.
