Overview
The design of the metro was ahead of its time. The design idea was ready at KHR architects in 1994, but it was not until 2000 that a suitable light source was developed.Working with the supplier, KHR integrated the light into the clock, so the idea of the crisp bead-row illumination of the clock's aluminium surface was realised. An example of the value of forward thinking in dialogue with technological developments.
