I agree with someone123 - the functionality of that space is important and how it would look at night is questionable based on the renderings. We need to see some at night to know how it would appear and function.
I agree though about the Calgary example - that stretch is pretty brutal. BUt this space could be improved by using LED lights to help liven up the space (although it will depend on a night time rendering). Once of the things that Calgary Transit has done is used LED lights along the Ctrain platforms, that change colour at night. It's quite pretty - that could be part of making the space more enjoyable. The other thing would be possibly relocating the LED screen (in the renderings) to this location. It seems like a big space in terms of size and there may be ways to make it feel less closed in. Although I liked the previous design that had the much larger atrium. But there are other ways of making it feel open, without it actually being as open.
