light reveals the forms and textures

At Denver Union Station’s Light Rail Terminal, a composition of light reveals the forms and textures of the plaza with bright focal accents contrasting the uniform ambient pedestrian lighting. Light columns in the adjacent pedestrian plaza provide the uniform light levels required by RTD. The curved seat walls float with linear LED lighting under the seat wall cap, eliminating shadows and providing visual accent and contrast. The sculptural form and texture of the ventilation tubes are accentuated with low wattage in-grade uplights. The intake tube glows from within, revealing its interior form.
