In this station, large vibrantly-colored medallions, or shields, reflect the neighborhood's industrial landscape and complex machinery, and transform the station into a bold landmark. A sculptural air-ventilator tower circles above the station while the girders supporting the canopy resemble crisscrossing electrical towers.
Benches are reminiscent of industrial tools and gears.
At the plaza level, a complex and colorful terrazzo paving pattern greets passengers. Fragments of private conversations are embossed into the concrete stair risers, interjecting the intimacy of private space into this very public location. This project was funded in part by Continental Development Corporation. People who use this station are daily commuters who work in this area. I wanted the various aspects of this station to reveal themselves over time , for the station to be experienced as a giant art piece in which the understanding of the whole is reached through daily encounters with each of its elements.
