MOSCOW METROGeneral facts- First station opened in 1935. Construction began during WWII.- 2nd most used Metro in the world after the Tokyo Metro.- First Metro to employ contactless tickets.- Some stations are up to ~80m deep underground.
“Moscow Metro – A Pictorial Guide”- 1980 Moscow Olympics – like a tourist guide.- Presents the Metro lines and photographs of the destination with the station interiors.- Experiential narrative presented.
MOSCOW METRO
“Politics and the design of the Moscow Metro”“In the lights and marble columns of the metro the worker sees not only lights, marble and technology, but also the embodiment of his strength and power. In earlier days only the nobility and rich could afford to use marble. The metro is not only a practical device, but it has to be regarded as a victory for the principles of socialist construction... In the capitalist countries, the metros are simple, uniform and grim. Our socialist country can afford to give its people a more comfortable transportation means, even if it is costlier, to raise their self-esteem, sensibilities, and artistic perceptions.” – L. Kaganovich.

Canary Wharf Station London, UK, 1991-1999
Designed by Foster and Partners
The entire roof of the station is laid out as a landscaped park; the only visible station elements are the swelling glass canopies that cover its three entrances and draw daylight deep into the station concourse.
At 300 meters in length it is as long as Canary Wharf Tower is tall. The robust aesthetic is achieved by a simple palette of hard-wearing materials that create the dramatic atmosphere.
BEIJING SUBWAY
History• Stage-1 a clash between
conservation and development.
The old station entrance of Line1
The only Gate tower that was be kept as a cultural heritage
Stage2- 20years for 2 lines
Stage3-Rapid development
BEIJING SUBWAYInterior Decoration
Chinese elements in L8-Olypmic branch (blue and white porcelain and Chinese red)
Modern and post-modern
As per the rapid development of Beijing, the entrance of Beijing subway reflects modernity with modern materials
And more or less, with traditional elements

LESSONS AND PROJECTIONS: 2030
-From reading the documents we realised that there is a discrepancy between the documents and the desired outcomes (there is a gap between the reality and portrayed media)
- So when approaching the Sydney 2030 Metro, we believe that there should be a better balance achieved between the media (written or photographic) and the actual product.
