The architectural design approach responds directly to Turin’s built environment. The city is characterized by sober façades and clear geometries, while its interiors often reveal richer, more intricate spatial experiences. The new metro line draws on this contrast, transitioning from a restrained exterior to more welcoming and distinctive interior spaces. In doing so, it creates a dialogue between traditional and contemporary architecture, allowing both to relate clearly to the city’s historical identity.
