The 24/7 Terminal is located at the heart of the master plan – supplying services for the
site and surrounding communities – where all main transportation hubs are located. The
concept of the Terminal was developed in accordance to its location will offer services
at all times. Likewise, the functions of the Terminal provide a new typology.
Terminal typology consists of three main components: a Bus and Train Terminal, Commercial
and Residential. Their local interactions generate a 24/7 Terminal bottom-up
system. The first terminal component brings in financial to invigorate the commercial, as
well as brings in new population to revitalize the residential. The second commercial
component supports the residential with facilities. The third residential component allows
for the commercial to include variety. The residential and commercial transform the
Terminal concept from a transitional and ephemeral place into a permanent optimize
destination.
