The exterior walls of the future Transbay Transit Center will feature eminent British mathematical physicist Dr. Roger Penrose’s groundbreaking geometrical pattern, known as the Penrose Rhombus Tiling. The press release tells us that the “design is remarkably simple but unique because it can be extended infinitely without repeating itself. The Penrose system is deal for the perforations in the metal panels that will form the curved exterior of the Transit Center.” Dr. Penrose and PCPA are working together to incorporate the design into the building’s skin, and we just received renderings of the proposed design. The Transbay Transit Center is scheduled to be complete in the fall of 2017.
