Subway Architecture: Underground and Amazing

subway-architecture_3

Unless you’re new to TheCoolist, you know how much we love to put together lists of amazing architecture.  The good people over at DesignBoom are pretty damn good at it too, as shown in their great roundup of Subway Architecture photos.  They’ve collected a list of subway architecture photos from around the world, showing just how breathtaking underground travel can be.  From Stockholm to Shanghai, Prague to Moscow, these images illustrate some of the best subway stations in the world– and just how far behind the curve we Americans are, for the most part (yeah, I’m talking about you, Chicago Avenue Red Line Station).  Don’t miss the full list and the great read over at DesignBoom.

  • these are really cool! it would be so awesome if we had some cool stations, but frankly at this point i’d just settle for the tracks being repaired and the stations we do have being brought up to code… that’s one thing i think the olympics would have done for chicago – serious improvements on the cta. ah well…
