I forhold til mobilitet, er stationerne illustreret som vores midlertidige legepladser. Stationer er designet og etableret med deres fornemmeste opgave i fokus, netop at være sært for både bevægelse, forbindelser og retningsbestemmelse. Hvor end, den hurtige acceleration i vores samfund, både med hensyn til teknologi og mobilitet, har påvirket stationens evne til at indeholde og tilbyde af gode og struktureret forbindelser. Derfor søger projektet at undersøge accelerationen i samfundet, og hvordan dette afspejles i menneskelige interaktioner, deres udførte præstationer og bevægelse inden for de midlertidige rum af stationer, hertil stations knudepunkter. Det aktuelle projekt er dermed koncentreret rundt debatten der omhandler, stationers 'evne til at opretholde deres fornemste kvalitet distribuere bevægelser, både interne og eksterne’. Baseret på denne status quo, blev de tre hoved termer inddraget, wayfinding, forbindelser og sammenhold i byen. Disse parameters bruges for søjler til at hæve det fulde potentiale af stationer. Givet det faktum, at stationerne er lavet for mennesker, som samfundet (identitet, følelse af sted, aktiviteter), er det præsenteret design adresseret med henblik på at indeholde og tilbyde ordentlige forhold til et socialt miljø. Her anerkendes vigtigheden i at skabe disse sociale miljøer. Med afsæt i dette er faktorer som indsamling steder, nye oplevelser og interaktioner præsenteret. Ved at omdanne Glostrup Station, vil designløsningen tilbyde en komplet opskrift på at designe for menneskestrømme.

In the matter of mobility, the stations are illustrated as our transitory playgrounds. Stations are drawn and established upon their main quality of hosting movement, connectivity and directionality. However, the rapid acceleration within our society, both in terms of technology and mobility, had affected their capacity to afford a good and structured connectivity. Therefore, the project is seeking to study the acceleration within society and how this had been reflected on human interactions, their embodiment performance and movement within the transitory spaces of stations, as mobility hubs. The current project is, thereby, concentrating around the debate of stations’ capability to maintain their most distinguished quality of distributing the flows internal and external. Based on this state of quo, the three terms of wayfinding, connectivity and cohesiveness were introduced as design parameters, pillars for elevating the full potential of stations. Giving the fact that the stations are made also for people, as community (identity, sense of place, activities), the design is readdressed in order to afford proper conditions for a social environment. Recognizing the importance of creating these social environments, factors such as gathering spots, new experiences and interactions are hosted. By transforming Glostrup Station, the design solution is offering a complete recipe of designing for flows, in the matter of community.
