Underground stations have always been known as gloomy places, where you should rush to catch the train and preserve your wallet. Yet a new trend is trying to change this by transforming these bad reputed spots into places of architectural interest.
The CNN has elaborated a ranking of the most impressive underground stations in the world.
As you may know, I'm really interested in architecture, in fact, I want to be an architect. These stunning art works, that make your journey through the underground tunnels something quite like visiting a museum or impressive buildings, fascinate me. As I see it, architecture is not only the science of constructing well, but also the art of transforming ordinary buildings into places of interest. Functionality combined with beauty make something as vulgar as a flat become a piece of art, something that represents a city, a country...
Building practically will be useful, building practical art will be rewarding!
