The proposed modification of the main railway station’s underpasses is designed so that the underpasses become a welcome gate for passengers from abroad and the Czech Republic. For travelers from abroad, the area of the main station becomes the first thing they come into contact with upon arrival in the country.
The color differentiation of the individual subways will help orientation, especially for repeat visitors to the station. When entering the subway from the platform area, they can better estimate where they are in the building. The color of the subways can be projected in another way into the station’s orientation system.
Differentiation of the individual subways is achieved by colored lighting of the glass in the shades of the national flag:
Blue – a cool, traditional railway shade.
White – neutral, festive and versatile.
Red – warm, following the colors in the main hall.
Czech crystal is a traditional material that has traditionally made our country famous all over the world. The most traditional form of decoration is the grinding technique. The ground edges catch the light inside the enamel. The abstract pattern of intersecting lines contains the dynamics of the railway and its direction from the capital to all parts of the republic and Europe. At the same time, grinding is a typical form of working with glass
The panels are decorated on the reverse side with a pattern following the tradition of Czech crystal. The abstract pattern of intersecting lines contains the dynamics of the railway and its direction from the capital to all parts of the republic and Europe. At the same time, grinding is a typical form of working with glass – see the Tour de France trophy.
A V-cut pattern is created on the reverse side of the glass. The front side is completely smooth, washable, and resistant to all cleaning chemicals.
