Reborn of Railway Track
A cultural renovation of abandoned old railway station - Dachimen roller coaster
What happens when mechanical means are introduced into the expression of narrative architecture? Based on the transportation infrastructure of the old train station, I creatively reintroduce the element of rail - the roller coaster. It skillfully extracts emotional nuances from various historical events, translating them into the physical experiences of speed, acceleration, and force, enabling visitors to encounter historical stories through motion.

Structure & Detail
When the roller coaster is running, it will produce vibration. This leads to the damage of old Dachimen railway station. To prevent the vibration of old architecture, I designed two structure systems for static load and dynamic load.
So, when the structure of roller coaster is shaking, the Dazhimen stands still.
