CY NERGISTRANSITERMINAL suturing Buffalos cycling
pathwaysS[c]ynergist nounPhysiology, Medicine/Medical. a body
organ, medicine, etc., that cooperates with another or others to
produce or enhance an effect.
Bicycling is a simple and efficient means of transportation, but
over the past decade cycling has shown little sustainable growth in
the USA. With an energy and environmental crisis on the horizon,
conserving our natural resources is a top priority. This proposed
bicycle transit center, located in the heart of Buffalo NY, aims to
revitalize the activity and utility of bicycle transportation. The
proposal also undergoes several stages of morphogenisis, reacting
and adapting to specific climate conditions. As a means to conjure
feelings of necessity, the Cynergist Transit Terminal is structured
and organized to emphasize the fluid motion of hundreds of cyclist.
The design scheme prevents congestion by implementing strategic
pathways that lead you directly to your destination. The Terminal
is a place designated for perpetual motion, similar to the worlds
largest transit facilities including, New Yorks JFK airport, Grand
Central Station, and Port Authority.The project draws upon natural
systems for solutions to organize program and detail. In particular
looking at human anatomy and muscular structure. The form is
comprised of three interlocking strands that emphisize linear
direction.

Being situated on one of Buffalos most trafficked streets the
challenge arises to separate pedestrian circulation from heavy
car-flow. This proposal confronts this issue by reconnecting
several nodes of pedestrian access that are now disconnected by
Main Street. Through an implementation of new pedestrian and
bicycle pathways neighborhoods, parks, subway and bus stops are
unified by a central terminal.
Site conditions such as annual solar radiation play a large role
in determining the orientation and design of the building. This
illustration depicts the exterior glazing of the building based on
the solar radiation. In order to prevent excessive heat generation
on the double skin facade this analysis was used to provide
locations for photovoltaics and a fritted steel screen system. Dark
red / red = PV, Orange and yellow = Cor-ten screen, Green / Blue =
Low-E glass.
On the site the average wind direction throughout the year is
predominantly from the south west. Also the topography intensifies
the wind acting as a funnel along the streetscape of Main street.
The building design intends on utilizing the natural source of wind
for necessary ventilation throughout the year.
Several Leed classified materials are used in the building
construction. As a building encouraging cycling and a healthy
lifestyle, it is also a main priority that it uses and displays
green materials. From the building foundation to the double skin
facade unique green applications and strategies are applied. In the
perspective section above notice the mechanical space below the
floor which houses duct work, piping and electrical conduit.
integrated into the first and second floor lies a geothermal
radiant flooring system which utilizes the heat of the earth, then
circulating this moderately warm water through a series of thin
tubes. This method not only reduces the cost of heating but also
more efficiently heats the space.

- Diamond shaped panels of one modular size.
- There are three differing panel applications, PV integrated,
Cor-ten screen, and Low-E glass.
- structure is site cast reinforced concrete - concrete is tied
into the building glu-lams
- There is a structural symbiotic relationship with the path and
the building
- Main building structure comprises of Glu-laminate beams
elliptical in geometry.
- They also structure the concrete pathways, which in some
instances bridge the gap between the three buildings
- Three main floor planes that constantly shift heights. - Each
floor can be accessed by either the bike pathways or through
interior passages.
- two stair cases connect the bike platforms to offices and
retail.
- all building codes were heavily analyzed
- Three main forms which intertwine physically and
programmatically - integrated bicycle pathways along outer
perimeter and inner core of building
- some pathways cut through the building forming an open
passageway to the opposite side
- some portion of the earth is excavated by the cutting of the
pathways.
- The paths meander between spaces above and below, inside and
outside
- Functional versatility, in summer months the transit center
operates for bicyclists and runners.
- During the winter months snow accumulation allows for open
bicycle paths to become cross-country ski trails
- year-round usage encourages a healthy and athletic
lifestyle
- the centralized location promotes all sustainable modes of
transit, all year round.
A two layered wood Glu-laminated structural system, firstly is a
12x12 and cross bracing this system is a 6x6 Glu-Laminated beam.
Both work in unison to provide the main structure for the floors
and the double skin.
