Elevated transport structures are known to have difficulty in achieving good integration with the built environment due to their dominating form. One phenomenon is the un-space – unplanned spaces emerging beneath and adjacent to these infrastructures. Reduced natural light, vehicular noise amplification, and the messy appearance of the environment are some notable effects, such as in the LRT-2 Araneta Center - Cubao Station un-space, the focus of this research. Functions based on current conditions and public utilization are examined, with the objective of finding the design gaps and using these to assess the public space quality. A qualitative research methodology is used through assessment tools, public activity surveys, and traditional methods. Furthermore, due to its fragmented nature, the un-space is divided into four sections for this study. Results reveal that the space is informally functioning as a forecourt and transport terminal; various amenities that are housed under one roof appear incoherent due to the fragmented elements of the un-space. Nevertheless, gaps can be addressed by combining the identified assets of the space with urban design strategies, such as making the un-space elements consistent, improving the lighting, and mitigating the cause of negative sensory experiences, thereby maximizing value and reintroducing a revitalized un-space to the public realm.
