Overview

Our third big project for Long Beach Transit. This one is for the battery energized bus depot at the Long Beach Convention Center. As we have an Aquarium of the Pacific aspect to all the work for the LBT, and these buses are electric, and 7 deep ocean trenches are off of Long Beach - all the tondos depict Deep Sea, biol-luminescent life. A modern pierced steel fence abstracts the forms and function of kelp forests that absorb CO2 and produce oxygen.
