Toronto’s Main Airport Embeds Departures Screens In Giant Nature Sculpture November 28, 2016 by Super User It’s a bit weird that while I am in and out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport a lot, it’s rare that I fly within Canada and see the domestic side of Terminal 1 – which now has a huge flower-like sculpture that doubles as departures screens.

Projects: Amazing Motion-Sensing LED Lobby In DC September 24, 2016 by Super User One of the speakers at the Four Winds’ conference in Denver Friday morning was referencing content strategy and design, and showed work done at the Terrell Place building in Washington, DC.
