layering of colors that will create new patterns. the smaller detailed elements are those that i was alluding disturb alluding to earlier. they re very settle and we ll get them more closely in detail. do you have any questions at this point? because this is the slide that shows the full design. looks like there s no questions. ok. you can come back if you like. there is a 3-d rendering. again, as i mentioned, the steel white beams, the columns, they re going to tie the white pattern of the victorian ties into these steel beams. on top of that, again, are the garden elements. we worked really hard both the france arts commission, the gdpa, as well as the pcpa architecture firm to choose the colors here so that it really would feel very warm and inviting as people move in and out of this space, but even on a foggy san francisco day, it still feels sun lit in that you re in a laurel garden. another image that shows the visitors passing through. one of the things that was
linger and find rest. can i ask you something? yes. what are the things going up the stairs? in the previous side, director? no, in the symbols. oh, that s signage. the plate holder for signage where the transit operators are. that will be evolved as the project evolved, as more technologies come into play. it s just a place holder for you now. so this last slide shows a detail of it, so it makes it easier to talk about it. as you can tell, it s a very expansive design. so going back again, you ll see the elements of the poppies and the laurels intersecting and overlapping with these subtle patterns and icons. one thing i hope that you can see it in the printouts perhaps better is that i m really playing with the shifting of color. so as people are walking across the space, there s really a sense of movement, and it s not a stagnant floor, but something that feels alive. much as a garden would. i think it s going to reflect in the city park above as like i menti
elaborate computer control systems where you can choreograph the movement of water. in this fountain, there s no computer. it s a wonderfully simple system. there s just an ultra sonic censor, and these are the technology that was developed for detecting water level in big shipping vessels and water tanks and fluid tanks. it s basically a beam of ultra sound that bounces off a liquid level and senses the height of the liquid. and there s wonderful robust indestructible technology. these things are designed to put in some tanks where you never have to go get them and do anything to them again. so the idea is that in this ceiling, there s one of these censors every four feet, and as the buses drive through, when the beam gets interrupted by a bus, it opens the and opens the valve and lets water flow. so every censor is linked to the nozzle directly above it. i think there s 256 of these nozzles and censor arrays. that image there shows what the actual thing looks like. they l
elements, and they correspond to a series of lighting elements on the ceiling, thereby creating the very distinct space that is very well lit and very distinct from the surrounding environment. in addition to that, there s also a series of binges that move through the space that are eliminated, and it offers people the opportunity to sit down and gather in this location series of benches. it also allows you to move up into the transit center itself. the notion is night time shown here. it is very distinct. has a great presence in of itself, using a light and the benches in detail. small bins has a built-in lighting element in it made up of a cast stone material as well as metal and glass together. the light sources we are investigating at the moment are using led systems, which as you know, are quite long lasting in durable figures. the notion is establish this very wonderful space that people will gather to. they can into the transit center through this and passed through
it would probably be about 10 hours of different content. does that answer the question? and when would the different languages come in? probably sbir mitt ently. so she might use to represent one author in a variety of languages. she may represent one author in one language and move to the next author in another language. the led will tie the sign s brightness. this feature will extend the led life span and produce energy con summingts by en consumption. the currently proposed technology is modular and it s been designed with ease of maintenance in mind. if it were to burn out after sustained use, the led bar containing the it can be replaced with a fresh bar. this process can be performed by maintenance staff rather than an l.e.d. technician. so we ll end by showing you the final portion of this video, which is of the m.g.m. array entitled vegas. the technology used here is the same technology contemplated for transbay, the one big introduction to the design would
