This photo is awesome AF. This is the first major new downtown rail terminal built in almost a century in the US.
Also, I will say that the tilt-up casting system designed by SOM for all the structural components is ingenious. The stations will be unique and architecturally distinctive using the same technique that Wal-Mart uses to build stores cheaply. It's like using this power for good instead of evil...
It also harks back to the original creation of Metrorail, where Harry Weese built the whole system, stations, guideways and all, using standardized precast concrete components to keep costs down.
