We all need some light and colour these days. So I went through old files and found these colourful pictures of the newest TTC subway stations that I took back in February, on Family Day actually. It seems like a long time ago!
below: Escalators, Pioneer Village subway station
below: From the outside looking in, Pioneer Village station
below: Hwy 407 station. Artwork by David Pearl.
below: The pinks, yellows, and blues from the coloured windows shine and bounce off surfaces
below: Little lights dance around the ceiling and upper part of the walls. This effect is caused by the artwork in the ceiling – a circular opening that you can just see in the upper left corner.
below: Looking straight up into the skylight with it’s many-sided walls that are covered with reflective material.
below: ‘Atmospheric Lens’ by Paul Raff Studio is the artwork that is incorporated into the roof of the station. It features skylights and reflective panels. Vaughan station.
below: Curved, reflective ceiling, Vaughan station
below: Finch West station with its very shiny red hexagonal wall tiles and coloured panes of glass.
below: No colours at York University station, but lots of windows and lots of natural light.
