Metro Glass Canopy Prototype
Washington, DC

Designed for placement over street escalators at 46 Metro stations in Washington, Maryland and Virginia, this light-weight cabriolet-style glass and steel structure is composed of mostly planar segments that together form a gracefully curved canopy. The form rises up to pedestrians at street level and, echoing the escalators below, descends towards the back to disperse rainwater to grade. The radial portal frame structure allows ready installation atop the existing granite parapets.
