The Metro is the main mode of transport for Moscow citizens, so development of the metro network is one of the most important urban programs. Continuing the traditions of unique station design, we have already successfully held several open architectural competitions. The participants of the next competition will have to design the look of the stations “Prospekt Marshala Zhukova” on the Rublevo-Arkhangelskaya Line and “Klenoviy bulvar 2” on the Biryulevskaya Line, from which it will be possible to transfer to the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line. I am sure that the competition will bring us many unique and effective artistic and architectural solutions that both correspond to world trends, as well as the wishes of Muscovites themselves.
