J&A and Sepanta Design ‘provoke emotion’ in the 13 stations of Chengdu's Metro Line phase 1, reflecting the city's creativity and progressiveness in its futuristic interior design.

Jincheng Avenue Metro Station, by J&A and  based on the theme of ECOLOGY & LAKE LOTUS.

“Our main aim in the design of Chengdu metro stations was to `provoke emotions`. There are some metro stations around the world that do that, but not many. Metro stations in central Moscow are a great example of how to take the design to another level and go beyond the functional and regulatory requirements. Chengdu metro stations are not going to be merely points of transit. They are going to be memorable spaces that offer their passengers an artistic and futuristic expression of their own culture”, Reza Esmaeeli
