Each center of the three sets of circles is a vanishing point for buildings, built in forced perspective. As the pavement folds up to make a roof, another swathe of pavement – this one like brown soil – sweeps in. from the vanishing point, to make the floor. The circular pavement folds up to make a clock tower, a passenger-services building, bus shelters. The folding pavement turns inward, to form a plaza, and outward, to meet transportation. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/scottsdale/index.html">Scottsdale Transportation Center</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1997/index.html">1997</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Bend-Fold/index.html">Bend-Fold</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Built/index.html">Built</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Flying-Floating/index.html">Flying-Floating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Luis%20Vera/index.html">Luis Vera</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parking/index.html">Parking</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Scottsdale%20Transportation%20Center/index.html">Scottsdale Transportation Center</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Shift-Pivot/index.html">Shift-Pivot</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Streets%20and%20Plazas/index.html">Streets and Plazas</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transportation/index.html">Transportation</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/United%20States/index.html">United States</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/327/01_S.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/327/01_S.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/327/01_S.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
