Street Car Stop Development

These images are both clear and give us just enough contextual information to understand your design decisions. I would ask, however, about materiality and form: could these become more sculptural, or could their form be somehow unique to this neighborhood so that when people arrive it is the stop itself that becomes a landmark? Or are you intending for these to be the staple stop design that is used elsewhere along the line?
I'd like to know your thoughts about the art corner - what would happen if one of the kiosks was actually immediately at the corner? How do people enter that zone? How are edges and boundary defined? What is the relationship between the kiosks and the streetcar stop?
