especially that Ford is working on solutions that will
really help people."
It would be difficult to find a more apt location to
signify urban mobility than the World Trade Center's
über-busy transit hub, where subway and commuter
trains converge, and where Krpata says 400,000 people
pass through each day. However, she notes, the retail
concourse where the store is located is an interstitial
space for most of them. They're rushing through so
quickly that some traditional retail design principles
need apply - like a storefront that makes people stop,
wonder and come inside.
First, there's the familiar Ford logo on the outside,
and, in one window, is a lenticular sign that reads
"Move Freely," a motto the brand has used before in
advertising campaigns.
People pass through the "blue portal" - a large

blue graphic-printed glass - as they enter the store.
"We wanted to signal a transition from the world they
understood to this world with all these new opportunities to explore," says Krpata.
Birkic estimates that, so far, roughly 700 people
per day have been drawn into the store, either out of
curiosity or to interact with the displays, take photos
or talk with one of the Ford guides on hand.
"And if they want to buy a car," he says, "we can
help them with that, too."
Ironically, one of the major attractions of the storefront is a large digital screen just inside the front
window displaying a subway map, real-time transportation information, directions, a clock and current
weather conditions, among others. Even in the future,
travelers still want to know what time it is. 
