It consists of a skylight and 952 diamond-shaped perforated aluminum panels held in place by a doubly curved cable net.   Photo © James Ewing Fulton Center The sky-reflector net drives daylight into the station's lower levels and is animated by the sky's changing colors.   Photo © James Ewing Fulton Center Fulton Center comprises multiple pieces, including a glass-and-steel pavilion and the 125-year-old Corbin building.   Photo © James Ewing Fulton Center The Fulton Center project also included construction of a 350-foot-long tunnel that will connect to the World Trade Center site once a Santiago Calatrava'designed commuter rail station opens there later this year.   Photo © James Ewing Fulton Center One route to the subway platforms from the street takes commuters under the so-called 'doughnut'—two levels of commercial space wrapped in glass and lifted off the ground plane on V-shaped columns.   Photo © James Ewing Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Grimshaw Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Grimshaw Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Grimshaw Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Grimshaw Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Grimshaw Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Arup Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Arup Fulton Center Because the reflector net was conceived as part of Fulton's ventilation system, engineers analyzed the effects of air movement on the device, relying on computational fluid dynamics.   Image courtesy Arup Fulton Center To understand how commuters would circulate through Fulton Center, Arup examined the complex with a crowd simulation tool developed in-house. The software populates the digital model with 'agents,' or virtual people.   Image courtesy Arup Fulton Center Because clay shrinks when fired, molds for new terra cotta pieces for Corbin's facade could not be formed from the existing pieces. Instead, artisans had to sculpt new positives, roughly 10 percent larger than the originals, before forming the molds.   Photo © Ian Buckley Fulton Center A new set of escalators leads commuters through Corbin's foundations.   Photo © Ian Buckley Fulton Center Before retrofitting Corbin's lateral load-resisting system, engineers conducted various studies, including a structural analysis of the building's north wall.   Image courtesy Arup
