The unifying theme of this striking design of epoxy terrazzo in two colors is the intricate divider strip design depicting the path of aviation, growing denser near high traffic areas and spreading out towards various destination points. Over 50,000 three-inch zinc strips were individually set to create the continuous dotted line. At the base of the poured-in-place staircase, four grand steps were created from 54 pre-cast pieces, formed onsite, with a unique stacked reveal at the bottom of each step. This 100,000-square-foot installation also earned points for its 3-D quality, earth tones and detailed handwork.
