Project Architect: Guy Willey Design

 

Hamline Prairie Station is inspired by Prairie School Architecture and plays on the motifs of regional sources, specifically the work of William Purcell and George Elmslie. The Prairie style was a combination of geometric and organic forms; the station provides a modern context for new designs that are both original and complimentary. The artist collaborated with architect Guy Willey to carefully integrate the artwork into the existing architecture of the station. University Avenue has been called “a true American street”, the integrated public art offers an aesthetic experience that will enhance the daily commute by bringing to light this important Midwestern art form.
