The project “Decoding Space” was about decoding a public, urban space and transcribing it to a virtual 3D-Space. The given subject was the main bus station in Zürich. One aspect of the station had to be analysed and visualized.

I was especially interested in all the rhythms existing in the area of the bus station: time-tables, opening hours, cleaning intervals, etc. First I tried to find a system to visualize every thinkable rhythm. I find several solutions, described in the project documentation.
