In the context of contemporary urban environments where available land is increasingly constrained, Fluxscape, the Konya Locomotive Depot Project, proposes an architectural transformation that engages the coexistence of the existing train station and the nearby Locomotive Depot. While establishing a functional and spatial continuity with the train station, Fluxscape proposes a redefinition of the transportation hub through an architectural framework that prioritizes adaptability, multifunctionality, and integration with environmental systems. The project moves beyond the limitations of fixed-use infrastructure by incorporating kinetic components, responsive systems, and transformable spatial units that allow the architecture to accommodate evolving programmatic requirements and user needs.
Situated within a key urban circulation axis, the project introduces a “Living Energy and Motion System” that merges mobility networks with energy generation and spatial flexibility. Architectural elements—including movable platforms and reconfigurable modules—operate in relation to both climatic conditions and patterns of occupation, enabling a continuous reorganization of space.The inclusion of a mobile Transportation Museum and energy-focused research laboratories introduces educational and experimental dimensions. Additionally, Mycoremediation strategies supports a productive landscape framework, positioning the train station as a regenerative, infrastructural organism.
