“We must invent and rebuild the Futurist city like an immense and tumultuous shipyard, agile, mobile and dynamic in every detail; and the Futurist house must be like a gigantic machine”.

- Manifesto of Futurist Architecture, Antonio Sant’Elia
The megastructure as futurist architecture has been discussed by architects as an urban solution to embrace density and effiency. From arcosanti to archigram, the architects proposed experimental projects with the lifestyle of high mobility and efficiency.

In this project, I explore megastructure based on the environment of a chaotic contemporary city. I focus on the train station area where people are in need of convenience and safety. The project is a building complex with residence and public space. It aims to use megastructure as a new shelter within a challenging urban field.
