Our proposal seeks to bridge between the universal world of railroad engineering, and the desire to express the unique identity of local context and history. This design represents one possible application of this system.

We propose a "kit of parts" system of pre-fabricated steel components that can be assembled in a variety of configurations. These elements are proudly of the world of engineering -direct, simple fabrications that are expressive of conventional steel fabrication technology. Upon these structures, contextualizing skins designed by artists and architects can draw upon the salient aspects of a particular community.
