Frame the Works

A fine example of the element of point in architecture is this large symmetrical window which illuminates the entire corridor linking the Great Hall to the ticketing areas and train concourses. The window directs attention and anchors the space. Corinthian Order pilasters line the corridor, and all the elements converge on the window and the entrance to the train concourses just below it. Warm golden light illuminates the coffered barrel vault ceiling. Sconces light the way to passenger waiting areas on the left and the Metropolitan Lounge on the right.
