PROJECT: URBAN PLANNING

The current situation of the area has the wall partially built on the north and south ends, eventually meeting at the highway / checkpoint intersection.


By placing the train station in the path of the wall; the train station becomes part of the wall.

The train station becomes the only place where the ARC infrastructure, the WALL, and the city of Jerusalem meet.

As the ARC infrastructure passes through the station, it splits the building in half and as a result makes two platforms.

As a result, the train station attracts commerce and travel, which in turn, brings people from both countries towards the wall/train station.

With more buisnesses springing up around the wall/train station, more residences will follow as well as more tourists. Eventually, with both countries flourishing, tension will decrease and the need for the wall will cease to exist.
