Description

Melbournes new Metro Tunnel stations, a $15 billion project, are turning heads with their unique architectural designs, featuring a timber potato chip roof and a whispering wall. The stations, praised for their engineering and green spaces, have passengers taking selfies and comparing them to Moscows underground. However, not everyone is impressed, with some critics preferring a more contemporary approach. Standout features include Ardens industrial past reflection, Parkvilles bright and airy design, and Town Halls underground crypt. The stations have also created a new neighborhood park, connecting Albert Park to the Botanic Gardens.
