Two split parking levels totaling 20,000
s.f. are located below ground (click for plan). A public park
and two bus terminals occupy grade. The park consists of three
types of landscape "ribbons": one lawn-like grass and
two non-aggressive native grasses. As the ribbons engage the
highway they vary in height, transforming into revenue-generating
advertising space (click for section). The ribbons also act as a wind machine, not
only supplying the garage with tempered ventilation air through
earth tubes, but also agitating and filtering the expressway
air with "cleaning strips".
