Capitol Hill Station
Controversial paens to the military-industrial complex aside, the underground light rail stations are going to be beautiful. The downtown transit tunnel, now that it's reopened, is equally beautiful. Most transit systems have stations that are brutally efficient but not much fun to look at. Seattle's, on the other hand, will be a truly amazing work of public architecture and public space of the kind that we have far too little of.
The combination of the light rail station and the new Cal Anderson park will be an urbanist's paradise.

This has got to be one of the funniest situations I have seen ever. It's tempting to imagine the artist cutting up a model airplane as part of the creative process, but comments about models seem to unhinge elements of the blogosphere, so maybe the less said there the better.
At this point the design seems a sure success, as it would come with a built-in legacy of one of the strangest public arguments in the history of Seattle. I'm getting me a BIG bag of popcorn for this one.
