项目大气镜头是一件公共艺术作品，融入多伦多沃恩大都会中心中转站的穹顶中。它将地上展馆的凸面天花板分解成反映车站内部生活的动态立体主义拼贴画。通勤者在“镜头”下移动，通过进入和看到他们在面板上的反射完成被动的动态效果，成为不断变化的大气的一部分。策略性的天窗与夏至和春分的太阳角度对齐，将两层光线引入空间站的深处，动态地照亮了一个典型的日照不足的空间。

Atmospheric Lens is a public artwork integrated into the dome of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Transit Station in Toronto. Spanning 16,000 s.f. it dissolves the convex ceiling of the above-ground pavilion into a dynamic, cubist collage of reflections of life inside the station. Commuters moving under the “lens” complete the passive kinetic effect by being in and seeing their reflection in the panels, becoming part of the ever-changing atmosphere above. Strategic skylights align with solstice and equinox sun angles channel light two levels down into the depths of the station, kinetically illuminating a typical daylight-starved space.

该项目是建筑师和艺术家之间的合作，从一开始就确保了理念和方法的良好契合。艺术家在几个月的时间里开发并讨论了概念性的草图，而建筑师则对其设计进行了回应和改进。例如，天花板下方的镜面抛光钢板，使用了结构中固有的面板模块。艺术家是设计团队的一部分，该团队由建筑师和12名专业设计工程师（声学、照明、结构等）组成，因此，"大气透镜 "的构思和实现与建筑完全融合。

The project was a collaboration between the architects and artist from the onset ensuring a good fit of philosophy and approach. The artist developed and discussed conceptual sketches over the course of several months while the architect responded and refined their design. The mirror polished steel panels that line the underside of the ceiling for example, use a panel module inherent to the architecture of the structure. The artist was part of the design team which consisted of architects and 12 specialized design engineers (acoustic, lighting, structural, etc.) As a result, Atmospheric Lens was conceived and realized to be fully integrated with the architecture.

沃恩枢纽容纳了多种多模式的连接。大厅层向南延伸到7号公路下面，在这个主要的道路屏障下提供了一个无偿的人行连接。在Millway大道下还有一条隧道，为东面的行人提供更安全的连接。在7号公路的中心，有一个连接到地面平台的VIVA BRT专用车道。大厅层向北延伸，可直接通往约克地区巴士总站。地铁主入口亭位于一个狭长的景观公园内，公园内设有自行车停放设施和乘客接送点。

The Vaughan hub accommodates a wide range of multi-modal connections. The concourse level extends south under Highway 7 providing an unpaid pedestrian connection under this major road barrier. There is also a tunnel under Millway Avenue for safer pedestrian connections to the east. At the center of Highway 7 there is a connection up to the surface platforms for VIVA BRT running on dedicated lanes. The concourse level extends north providing direct access to the York Region Bus Terminal. The main subway entry pavilion is located within a narrow landscaped park that incorporates bicycle parking facilities and passenger pick-up.

低维护、耐用和可持续的材料，如AESS(建筑外露结构钢)、建筑混凝土、锌屋顶板和具有鸟类友好屏障的幕墙系统构成了车站的主要色调。该团队提出了三个主要的TGS(多伦多绿色标准)要求，包括通过使用绿色屋顶减少城市热岛、雨水保留和雨水径流捕捉。此外，软景观的使用和入口建筑结构的减少表面允许降低环境表面温度。

Low- maintenance, durable and sustainable materials such as AESS (architecturally exposed structural steel), architectural concrete, zinc roof panels and a curtain wall system with bird-friendly screens formed the main palette for the station. The team addressed three main TGS (Toronto Green Standards) requirements including urban heat island reduction by use of green roofs, storm water retention, and storm water run-off capture. In addition, the use of soft landscaping and the reduced surface of the entrance building structure allow for a reduction in ambient surface temperatures.

该车站是未来城市重建的催化剂，为沃恩市的一个新的商业区。该团队与客户和来自不同城市的代表密切合作，开发和整合车站，使之适应城市领域的当前和未来发展。团队面临的挑战是想象一个围绕车站的新城市，并创建一个标志性的headhouse，它将成为焦点和组织元素。这个车站是一个例子，说明了新交通系统的敏感引入除了改善交通便利之外，还能积极地为城市增加价值。

The station is a catalyst for future urban redevelopment for a new commercial district at the City of Vaughan. The team worked closely with the client and representatives from different municipalities in developing and integrating the station to both current and future development of the urban realm. The team was challenged to imagine a new city around the station and create an iconic headhouse that would become a focal point and organizing element. This station is an example of how the sensitive introduction of new transit systems can actively add value to a city in addition to improving mobility.

基础设施的建筑在建造和表达上有时是功利的和不人道的。沃恩大都会中心不仅在功能上力求成为典范，而且在美学和易用性上也力求成为典范。通过整合大型公共艺术作品，并回应乘客和用户的模式，车站是一个吸引人的和令人难忘的地方，试图为通勤者带来光明和轻松的时刻。

Architecture for infrastructure is sometimes utilitarian and inhumane in its construction and expression. Vaughan Metropolitan Centre seeks to be exemplary not only in its function but in its aesthetics and ease of use as well. By incorporating a large work of public art and responding to the patterns of passengers and users, the station is an inviting and memorable place that seeks to bring light and moments of levity to commuters.
