DESCRIPTION:   Comprehensive artistic station design with nautical and aviation themes, encompassing the 2-level station area of 16,00 square feet (400 ft X 40 ft X 60 ft high), consisting of painted steel, stainless steel, polycarbonate panels, concrete, glass, and polychromatic lighting elements, specifically:

• elevated and curved rail platform

• exterior spiral stairway

• sculptural boat-shaped benches

• compass design plaza-area paving pattern

• transparent tinted platform and elevator crown canopies

• artistic lighting throughout platform and station areas, including canopy roofs, elevator and stairs 

From the artist:  "The station design is influenced by local cultural and environmental context.  In tribute to the aviation and nautical industries, the station design is configured to reference their historical significance.  The featured arc design of the platform and canopy shelter line was inspired by boat and plane architecture. The orientation of the elevator and spiral staircase both navigate as lookout-points.  For the station user, these navigation points mark location, provide orientation and the geographical context of the locale.  At the plaza level a compass ring highlights the paving pattern. Benches designed as boat shapes provide seating."
