创新抵达 | 费城水上交通中心

Concept Statement: Arrival Transportation Hub aims to evoke the excitement and curiosity that comes when one travels. It beautifies and exemplifies the process of traveling through strategic use of circulation, space planning, and choice of lighting and materials. The space represents one arriving to Philadelphia by breaking it up into zones including take-off, traveling, and then arriving to their destination (the experience center).

Innovation Hub - LoungeA lounge area is another space created in the Innovation Hub within the Experience Center. It lies in front of the coffee bar/hospitality pantry where guests can relax, drink coffee, and look out and enjoy the view. The perspective also displays blinds that can be utilized in the space if one wants to dim the amount of sunlight that enters the space.

Innovation Hub - Classroom:One of the spaces created in the Innovation Hub is a classroom space. This space was designed for the intention of distributing a good amount of seating and open opportunity for lectures and performances. The Innovation Hub is a major element of our design in that it represents the “destination” in the guest’s travel journey. We create a sense of excitement and arrival by abstractly representing airplanes through tensile fabric as our major ceiling element. This goes throughout the Experience Center and creates a lightness and fun element in the space.
