Site Mapping:
01 Physical Energy Flow Through the Site via Transit
SEPTA regional rail lines utilize a 25HZ transmission line. This is below the 50-60HZ, that the national electrical grid functions.
02 Kinetic Energy Flow Through the Site via Transit
Red represents the highest kinetic energy (freight train)
Yellow represents a medium kinetic energy (diesel powered commuter train)
Green represents low kinetic energy (electric commuter train)
A constant stream of commuters through the site is like a heavy current of electricity. How can this energy be used to charge the site?

Neil, your map showing the energy flow through the site looks very nice graphically and I think it is an important analysis that will have a definite impact on your design as well as others’. However, I think it would be more straightforward if you didn’t pull the site buildings up and kept them on the same layer as the context buildings. When you pull it away it makes it harder to see how the site fits into the context in my opinion.

Most of your diagrams are compelling. Good presentation. What have you concluded about the building height? How will that play into your design for the site?
