"'This is art that will basically be integrated into the design of the station,' Transbay Joint Powers Authority Executive Director Maria Ayerdi-Kaplan said during a recent hearing."
"A public park will grace the center’s rooftop, a bus terminal will occupy the first level, shopping opportunities will greet visitors on the ground floor and a subterranean train station will serve high-speed rail and Caltrain, plans show."
"SoMa-based artist Julie Chang creates complex patterns and images on textiles, wallpapers and other media. Ned Kahn designed installations for the Exploratorium before shifting to Sebastopol, where he continues to explore fog, wind, fire, light and sand in his work. Los Angeles-based artist Timothy Hawkinson creates complex sculptures that are often mechanized. New York-based artists Jenny Holzer and James Carpenter were also selected from a pool of more than 1,500 hopefuls, according to Manton."
