Espace Piranesien Boulevard de Turin 59800 Lille France and painter, Jean Pattou has delivered a huge fresco inspired by the works of Piranesi to decorate the concrete walls of the metro station Lille-Europe by OMA, in the railway station serving the Lille-Europe station On three walls of 50 m by 18 m from this place of transit and interconnection between cities, Jean Pattou represented a dreamlike vision of London, Brussels, Barcelona, Athens, New York, The artist has firstly done his work in a smaller format The image was scanned, then enlarged and "developed" on huge sheets that are attached to walls by rails The architectural space itself was designed by OMA as part of the EuraLille masterplan 1995 Artist OMA - Rem Koolhaas Jean Pattou Roderick http://wwwmimoaeu/users/parcopolo/guides/train%20station/ 8

Bochum Rathaus Metro station Bongardstrasse 1 44787 Bochum Germany In submitting a competition entry, Pahl + Weber-Pahl Architekten proposed disentangling the complex underground interrelations, which created some latitude, in particular for the station space volume While the tunnel sections were built with mining techniques, the architects proposed a 'cut-and-cover' method for the station, with considerable interferences into urban spaces Rather than backfilling the volume above the station, the architects used the space for ceiling design and construction The outcome is a large-volume, column-free station space that is borne by a folded-plate ceiling Thirteen prismatic glass bodies penetrate both ceiling and road space and thus allow daylight into the Metro station, while the prismatic glass bodies make the location of the station visible at the surface in urban space Two more structures penetrate the station space: A glazed sloping elevator from train to road level and the glazed bridge of another line, which crosses the overhead space Floor area/size 1-2006 3000 m² Pahl + Weber-Pahl Architekten BDA Stadt Bochum, Stadtbahn GbR Roderick http://wwwmimoaeu/users/parcopolo/guides/train%20station/ 10
