Registration area and waiting lobby are transformed to set the environmental tone as visitors make the transition from the public elevators to the private exhibit space. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Registration serves as rite of passage as the visitors enter the space and join others who are also concerned with the issued at hand. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Visitors are teased by a hint og what awaits, but an architectural intervention makes the space feel odd, subliminally forcing a need to go right. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Design is used to shape the perception of space, motivation visitors to move in this direction. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Transportation-related news graphics, over-hanging from the exhibit space, are visible to exhibit visitors and to the customers of the bank branch located in the space below. They illustrate the current state of transportation problems in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

A graphic sculpture introduces the content of the exhibit through a reference to the Gordian Knot, hinting at how the transportation problem in Puerto Rico requires a solution of Alexandrian magnitude. Commercial hoses make up the floating knot sculpture. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

The exhibit's narrative is threaded through language, typography, images, illustration, environmental interventions, industrial exhibit pieces and interactive elements. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

A sculptural map illustrates world cities, named in the acrylic scroll, that have Tram systems implemented as part of their transportation strategies. Videos are showcased through video ipods embedded in the map. The interactive screen area of the exhibit can be see on the far left of the image. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Located on the eastern wing of the exhibit, this model allows children, and adults alike as the experience of the open exhibit has shown, to conceptually imagine themselves in a Tram. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

The environmental design strategy for the exhibit involved the use of aluminum, dispersed throughout the space to bring out the industrial quality of the subject matter, while providing negative spaces within the graphical landscape of the exhibit. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

Interactive projection area ran various short stories of a city of San Juan where the Tram system has already been established. The projection reacts with ChromaDepth glasses for a 3-D experience, assimilating well with the future-cast nature of the section. Acrylic made books rest on the table, showcasing comparisons between Tram system and a traditional Train framework, highlighting the benefits and weaknesses of both. Photo by Eric M. Jukelevics.

The panel on the left showcases a transportation systems alphabet. The center panel narrates the story of HO Scale train model's design and production. The enlarged photo is of the Portland streetcar system. These panels serve as the entranceto the community activism section of the exhibit, located through the visible entrance. Photo by Eric M.
