Reveal: New transporter design!

I used virtualdub. took me about 5 minutes.
They make me give them shoulder massages in between takes!
Meet our new captain! He's quite expressive.
So, they DO have a normal transporter room
Well it was known since the reveal of the Shenzhou's transporter room that the Discovery's would be completely different.

But there still seems to be oddly shaped designs on the walls.
It wouldn't be star trek otherwise.
I'm underwhelmed. It certainly is big and bright. But the platform itself is too big and open. [I feel] the platform should be cramped ... the focus of fantastically complex machines that overwhelm the crewmen standing upon it. An intimidating space that could do anything to the poor soul trapped in it should there be a malfunction!
I'd like to see it more like the TOS and TNG sets, only with those psychedelic back panels removed and the terrifying guts of the thing exposed. Oh! And barricades! Big, honking armored panels that drop down during transport to isolate the dais, protecting the operator as living beings only a few meters away have their flesh wrenched and rendered to atoms and less!
The sort of place that would make McCoy 'nope-the-f**k' out of the room and run to the shuttlebay!

The concept of a transporter is enough to make me go, "Nope!"
I don't need to add claustrophobia to it.

To you it seems but not to me
Voyager's Transporter, Sickbay, and Engineering were all redresses of the TNG sets.

I think what they're trying to show is a refinement of transporter technology. You have a giant room with very utilitarian and only functional items in the Shenzhou, followed by a big room, but with some more refinement and more design form in mind on Discovery, followed by a smaller chamber and the possibility of smaller technology and much more refinement in TOS.
People often overlook how much of the design of past shows were simply limited by budget and resources. Paramount had limited stage space, and considering the transporter room wasn't going to be a major set we'd spend a ton of time in, they usually made them fairly small.
So this "it's too big" critique is such a silly complaint.

Extracting this part for some out-of-context interpretation...
It was more of a total rebuild than just a redress, but basically yes
