Summary
[edit]DescriptionSmithsonian Station, Washington Metro (8447225174).jpg |
In 1996, I made my first-ever visit to Washington, DC, using the Election Day long weekend, while I was a college student in New York City. I spent four days in the capital, and my emphasis was primarily to cover various topics that I had learned in my high school history and government/civics classes. I absolutely loved the architecture of the Washington Metro stations - the brutalist bare concrete arched ceilings, in particular, were awesome, and reminded me of being inside a Star Wars spaceship. The platform lights, which blink when a train approaches, are also another nice touch. Additionally all access is via escalators and elevators. The Washington Metro is relatively new (first opened for the Bicentennial in 1976) so handicap accessibility was a major factor in its station design. |
