Re: Underground Grand Opening
That shot is very cool, Metro. The more I see of it the more I like. So much better than if they just went the pedestrian "airport" type design.
As for the lights, I think they just got creative with it and I think that's great. It gives it a unique and defined character. If you think about it, there was going to be floresent tubes down there no matter what. Normally, they just use white and stick them up in the ceiling with a plastic cover. This way you get something that looks a feels a little more exciting than the cubicle you just left, and for the same amount of money.
For 1.6MM, I'm just glad that they could fix up the place and give it a new look. Going forward, let's just see if the underground is still a viable concept and, if so, maybe someone can come up with the cash to pay for more expensive lighting and design. As Mailbu pointed out, it can be updated if needed. For now, though, I think it is a very cool concept.
I like the LED uses in that showcase, but looking at it just makes me think that our buildings could use it to spruce up downtown's nightime skyline.
