750,000 people pass through Grand Central Terminal daily, making it one of the busiest transportation hubs in New York City. It serves commuters using Metro-North, the subway, and buses, as well as millions of tourists each year. Commuters using Grand Central have high average incomes and education levels. The terminal also contains numerous shops and restaurants. In contrast, Pennsylvania Station sees over 600,000 passengers daily using the Long Island Rail Road, Amtrak, and New Jersey Transit. It is a larger transportation hub encompassing three rail systems under one roof, but is described as more crowded and less comfortable than Grand Central.
This document provides information about commuting through Grand Central Terminal and Pennsylvania Station in New York City. It includes statistics on the demographics of Grand Central Terminal commuters as well as retail shops and dining options available at both Grand Central and Penn Station. Themes around the sensory experiences, scale, technology, social behaviors, and nature are discussed.

Impact of industrial revolution in architectureShabna Azeez
The Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment led to radical changes throughout the world in the late 18th century. New building materials like cast iron, steel, and glass allowed for larger structures. The Enlightenment promoted rational and scientific thought. In the late 18th century, Neoclassical architecture became popular, taking inspiration from Greek and Roman designs. This style emphasized symmetry, columns, and paying homage to classical prototypes. By the mid-19th century, the negative effects of the Industrial Revolution prompted a revival of classical architecture to beautify new industrial developments.
The document provides an overview of architectural styles from the 17th to 20th centuries in Europe and America. It describes the major characteristics of styles such as Baroque, Palladian, Neoclassical, Beaux-Arts and highlights influential architects like Palladio, Robert Adam, John Soane, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Frank Gehry. It traces how styles evolved from ornate Baroque to simplified Neoclassical and the emergence of modern architecture in the 20th century that broke from historical precedents.
architecture history - Industrial revolutionomarnene
The document discusses the architectural and social impacts of the Industrial Revolution during the 19th century. Key inventions like the steam engine led to new building types like factories. New materials like cast iron, steel, and glass allowed larger structures to be built. Cities grew as people migrated for work. Living and working conditions for many were difficult, leading to the rise of labor unions and movements for workers' rights.
The Gilded Age brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. While industrialization and expansion created success, it also produced political corruption, poor social conditions, and unfair economic practices. Reforms addressed these issues through various new laws and organizations. The direct election of senators, civil service reforms, women's suffrage, housing codes, labor unions, and antitrust acts helped to solve political corruption, unsanitary cities, lack of representation, monopolies, and workers' rights issues plaguing the Gilded Age.

Here are a few key points about trauma and the role of chaplains from the provided text:
- Trauma affects not just the patient, but also the family, medical staff, and chaplain themselves. All are victims that need care and support.
- Chaplains must take care of their own mental health and well-being through opportunities like Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). This allows them to best support others experiencing trauma.
- Beyond physical injury, trauma involves psychological and emotional distress as well. Victims often struggle with feelings of disbelief, isolation, and questioning their faith or God.
- As caregivers, chaplains are uniquely positioned to provide spiritual and emotional care to the whole trauma community

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Penn Station
Pennsylvania Station, aka Penn Station, is the transportation hub for three rail
systems; Amtrak, NJ Transit and the Long Island Railroad. You can also access two
different subway lines; IRT and IND found at opposite ends of Penn Station. Each
station has its own look and feel which varies from the others.
Amtrak runs along the Northeast Corridor from
Washington to Boston, mirroring Interstate 95
How do you get to work in the morning?
„‟I take the LIRR and I take the Path train. “
How do you see traveling the LIRR?
“It‟s very convenient and fast, it‟s more comfortable than the subway. “
3. Sensation
The graceful Choreography of Penn Station, in particular the
Long Island railroad was fascinating. During a 20 minute
recorded observation, not one person collided with anyone.
There were people with bags, people with children, people with
bags and children, people sans bags, a guy bouncing a
basketball and a guy with a tuba and all managed to avoid a
collision. This was a true wonder given that many of them were
either running to a train or being passed by someone running,
one guy accomplished his running in a hop, jump, shift, jump
again kind of way.
What a sight to see!
What senses get stimulated on your commute?
“I would say my sense of hearing; somehow your ears become a little more acute to all the
different noises going on, so what people are talking about, what they‟re doing, you know, who‟s
on the phone, the conversations going on even though you‟re not trying to listen to it, you kind of
focus a lot on what people are doing. “
If there were a sudden change in the sound, would you be more alert?
“Yes, you get used to the sound of the trains themselves and sometimes when something
doesn‟t sound the same; either the hum of the air conditioner or the sound of the wheels, or the
little screeches and stuff like that, sometimes something doesn‟t sound right because it‟s louder
or it‟s an odd rhythm. You kind of notice and wonder „what‟s wrong with this train?‟”
4. Scale
Scale in Penn Station can be looked at on several different levels; the size of the station
(originally 8 acres) number of rails systems under one roof (3), number of tracks (21),
number of people that come through the station daily (600,000), and even how much
space someone takes on the train.
How does it feel spatially?
“Over the years, I‟m finding the railroad to be a lot more crowded and therefore it‟s lost a little bit of its
coziness, almost what people used to think of as a little exclusivity, being on the railroad versus being
on the train. Now it‟s almost as crowded as the subway, sometimes you have to stand the whole way
which is pretty annoying considering the price you pay.”
Can you estimate how many people?
“I don‟t take the early early trains because they are more crowded, but I would say hundreds.
Generally the train is full, you gotta make sure you put yourself in a spot where you‟re gonna be near
the door when it opens so you can get a seat.”
5. Technology
There are many self service
kiosks all over Penn Station, this
is a very convenient way to
purchase your ticket without
waiting on long lines.
Free iPhone App called „ontime‟ for the LIRR
How has your trip changed with Technology
advancements?
“It gives you more distractions, more things to
do, it makes the trip feel quicker, so if I can get
on my iPad, let‟s say, and I start reading the
news , or I can read work email, respond to
emails, next thing you know I‟m at Penn Station
so the time goes by quicker.”
There is even a company, Coo Coo, that you can text
your to and from locations and you will receive a
response with departure and arrival times.
6. Social Reproduction
Clever passengers who supplement their sleep while they commute, are able to do so by
exposing their ticket for the conductor and not be disturbed. This is usually socially
reproduced by nearby passengers who, in order to avoid an unpleasant encounter with
the sleeping passenger, begin to do the same, ah the bliss.
How long have you been taking the LIRR?
“It‟s about 15 years, 15/16 years.”
Have you seen any major changes in the way its structured?
“Actually no, considering that the cost of the railroad has gotten higher just about every year, I
don‟t really see what I‟m getting for the extra money.”
Do you ever happen to go by the NJ Transit area, have you seen how that looks?
“Actually no, I don‟t really go by there. I don‟t really venture that much.”
Another social reproduction, as commuters focus
on going from point A to point B, is forgetting to
„stop and smell the roses‟ or in the case of NJ
Transit, take in the sun beams that bathe the
beautiful mosaics at the 7th avenue and 31st Street
exit.
7. Nature
Do you encounter nature on your commute?
“Yeah, actually, the station where I am has a lot of trees and a lot of stuff nearby there, you can see
all the birds and sometimes you‟re standing at the station waiting and you‟re kind of just…let‟s call it,
bird watching because you‟re kind of watching them picking up stuff to build nests, or flying back and
forth chasing each other, the little mating dances, and little rituals.”

What do you think the proper etiquette should
be on the train, what are your pet peeves?
“People talking on the phone pretty loud, we don‟t
need to hear your personal conversations. Also,
some people get on the train and feel they own the
space and they‟ll sit on one seat, put their bag on
another and put their feet on a third. I guess they
don‟t want people next to them, they do it on
purpose. If someone is standing, they may not ask
to sit depending on their personality, other people
just say excuse me.
