The purpose of this study was to derive features differentiating the Transbay Transit Center from general intermodal center plans by analyzing sustainable characteristics of the methods incorporated into the spatial design, using climate and topographic characteristics, of the Transbay Transit Center. To conduct this analysis, three key references were used, and it was possible to identify topographic and climatic characteristics, identify design elements that utilized them, and derive design objects that actually implement them, namely the ‘Light Column,’ ‘Penrose Tiling Facade,’ ‘Streamlet Water’s Roof Garden.’ As a result of analyzing the sustainable characteristics of these three design approaches, three key differences were identified. First, it is a sustainable design suitable for San Francisco’s climatic and topographical environment. Second, it includes an air purification design that considers ecological aspects, and third, its water purification design uses the local ecosystem. These design approaches are characterized by the implementation of a natural purification system for air and water that functions as a small ecosystem based on ecological circulation and are intended to be used as basic data for exploring carbon-neutral design strategies in response to climate change.
