Terraflow: Case Study 03
Cooling Station
Vaughn Corson
Case Study 03:
The senior bus stops become way-stations along the "TerraFlow walking path" that functions as both a cooling bus stop zone but also public seating with a community library. The diagonal wall that bisects the stop divides both respective zones into a slower sit-down nook and a transitional space for the travelling commuter. However the perforated bricks continue to allow cross-ventilation throughout creating an important cooling zone that can be replicated throughout East Harlem for senior citizens and passing pedestrians alike.

Combining that with the natural evaporative cooling of terracotta, it proves to be a highly efficent location along the TerraFlow path.
