World’s most beautiful Metro stations - PHOTO

A Metro station in Amsterdam has won a 2014 Royal Institute of British Architects Award. With laser-cut steel screens allowing light to filter through, Kraaiennest station is now “a lantern for the local neighbourhood” at night, according to the firm behind its overhaul. Other projects illuminating subway travellers include a giant domed skylight set to open in New York later in 2014, stained-glass windows by the artist Marcelle Ferron at Montreal’s Champ-de-Mars station, and a glass roof spanning St Quirin Platz in Munich that integrates the station into a park. But the best station for daylight is Formosa Boulevard in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Created by the artist Narcissus Quagliata, the Dome of Light (pictured) is made up of curved stained glass and is the largest installation of its kind in the world. (BBC)Bakudaily.az
