Solar chimney concept for transit terminal membrane. Do to the high humidity level of South Florida air current must not remain stagnant. The proposal is for the train terminal and ferry dock program components to remain non-conditioned space with a central connecting lobby conditioned.



The solar chimney at it's base will act as the urban connective tissue that will link the motor-vehical drop off entrance, above ground "people-mover" tram system, and high speed rail. The chimney membrane accends the commercial program expeling the rising hot air from the terminal creating a drag current throughout the station.
