Approximately 44 feet tall and wrapping the entire four-block Transit Facility, Crown Corr installed both the awning panel system along with 93,700 square feet of aluminum unitized curtainwall. The patterned, perforated, curved awning system’s 140,000 square feet of aluminum panels were fabricated by McClean Iron Works. The small, plentiful openings allow diffused light to fill the interior. The exterior wall cladding is perforated with an artistry rendered, scientifically inspired pattern results in 37 percent of the awning system’s surface remaining open.
The distinctive Penrose Pattern, discovered by mathematical physicist and Oxford University professor Roger Penrose, generates a rhombus-shaped tiled design.
Visible, small, silver metallic flakes in the finish reflect light and impart Nova’s intense sparkle that gleams under the California sun. Whether selecting neutral, bright or pastel palettes in subtle tones or bold hues, Fluropon Effects Nova coatings deliver vivid sparkle coupled with the color integrity and high performance of other 70 percent PVDF resin-based architectural coatings by Sherwin-Williams. (ASI) finished the metal using a pearlescent White Shimmer in Fluropon ® Effects Nova by Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings. Enhancing their delicately patterned, dynamic appearance, Architectural Systems, Inc. The façade’s lace-like veil features a mathematically derived, continuous nonrepeating Penrose Pattern. Called the “Grand Central Station of the West,” the multimodal facility spans four blocks, encompasses 1.2 million square feet and can accommodate up to 45 million riders annually.ĭesigned by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects to achieve LEED Gold certification, the building’s exterior is enveloped in a gracefully curving cloud of laser-cut metal that elegantly balances natural light and shade.
