Abstract
"Uncovering Thresold Spaces" is about uncovering and designing a sunken architecture landscape. The intervention ties different layers of the built environment, human movement and the surrounding to regenerate the existing metro station. As well as, providing a place where students, commuters, or people from around wanting a break, can come.
The project started with the disconnected Vukov Spomenik Station, that was full of potential but was left hidden, underground. The designed threshold space reactivates it by acting as a gateway between itself and the rest of the city. The station is the initiator of the project, however, there is an inversion of importance, and the sunken squares becomes central and operates independently.
