| Haddad|Drugan developed a plan for incorporating art into the entry drive and light rail line that serve as the entry and exit portals for Sea-Tac International Airport. The primary goal of the plan is to tie the individual art projects together with a cohesive conceptual gestalt that distinguishes the Airport's North Entry.
Two concepts define the art plan. The first, one of Continuous Cities, implies that all of the artworks are linked into a coninuous terrain, or are all possibly the same place viewed through different perspectives. The place they are interpreting is an amalgam of the Airport, the Pacific Northwest, the World. The second conceptual thread is the process of Transformation, occurring along axes on which the Continuous Cities are placed, and also caused by atmospheric effects within the individual projects. Transformation expresses personal growth through travel, dreams associated with the frontier quality of the American West, and the continuous reinvention of local technology and landscape that characterizes the Airport and region. Transformation is also an emotive response that strives to reconcile experiences of the the empirically real and transcendentally ideal. |
