Submay: Drassanes


This stop. Drassanes Station, Barcelona.

It was originally opened in 1968 as part of Line 3 on the Barcelona Metro. But in 2007 it underwent major remodeling.


The concept behind the new design, which I term "space-age funk", was to use the same materials as the subway cars that drive through the station. The walls of the station were constructed with glass-enforced white concrete, while the white floors are all vibration proof. Not quite Gaudi but striking nonetheless.
