Abstract
The paper revolves around the urban environment and its particular way of analysis. It aims to provide for a proper understanding of space and its meaningful design.
It represents a theoretical basis of a more extensive research design that focuses on the dynamics of transit places, namely railway stations. There are three key parts.
In the first one, I explain and contextualize rhythmanalysis. In the second one, I position it into the urban environment and discuss issues of spaces and places.
The third part envisions the future case studies as it concerns the particular case of a railway station and shows possible approaches of the method from this distinct perspective. These research phases are illustrated by several hands-on examples.
