"The [Dulles Airport] station intends to resemble the terminal's sleek and iconic design."That made me laugh. How do they know what the station intends to do anyway? Did they interview it? Has it been posting on Twitter? I would be interested in knowing the intentions of other stations, for that matter. I wonder if, for example, some NYC stations intend to smell like sewers? Semantics my friend. The architecture of the platform canopy was designed to "resemble" the sleek and iconic design of the terminal. When I first saw the station renderings I though they "nailed it". After further thought I think the canopy should have been a scaled down version of the terminal constructed from concrete. When the debate was raging over the surface location of the station I wrote an article on a schema I had that included platform canopies that resembled the terminal.
