The stairs and escalators are brutalist. Speer would have had some deco-esque roman-looking eagles and sheaves. Brutalism is a big foist. It interesting that it doesn’t carry throughout the station. The red tiles conflict with the brutalist concrete walls. The whole of the thing is mash. BART was poorly conceived in architectural terms. It’s inhuman in many ways, suitable more for pigeons and their shit then anything else.
