Carl Cheng intended this multi-component project to merge themes from the area's coastal environment and aerospace industry. Building from an imaginary sea bottom on the station's lower-level, the coastal theme continues up to the platform level of the "cool blue wave" (MTA) of blue station canopy. Themes of space and the cosmos are reflected in the platform paving, with embedded galaxy designs, metal instruments, and moon footprints.
