dc.description.abstractThis investigation centers around how a city of 10,000 residence could form from a reinterpretation of the train station not only as a gateway but as a destination in and of itself. My project questions the urban potential of a train station inserted into a small rural community between two of America’s largest metropolitan hubs, Houston and Dallas. This city acts as a framework to test and push ideas of an almost "tabula rasa" like condition, in which architecture, infrastructure, and urbanity, are thought of not as disparate parts but as a synthetic culmination of highly dense, yet porous neighborhoods, within a city not dependent on the automobile but the pedestrian.
