Delovoi Tsentr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delovoi Tsentr (Russian: Деловой центр), "Business Centre," is a station on the Filyovskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. Opened on September 10, 2005. The high-tech design, which was the work of architects Aleksandr Vigdorov, Leonid Borzenkov, and Olga Farstova, is a radical departure from previous Metro stations.
The station is built on two levels, with the platform on the lower level. The upper level consists of two walkways which span the length of the platform. One walkway, the larger one, is enclosed in glass and sweeps from one side of the station to the other and back in a large arc. The other walkway is open and straight, running directly above the inbound track. The D-shaped area between the two walkways extends to the full height of the station. The two rows of pillars span both levels and are clad in stainless steel. The walls are faced with white plastic panels and brown marble, and Alucobond was used for the ceiling.
Delovoi Tsentr will only be the first station in a future three station transfer complex involving a cross-platform transfer between the Solntsevo-Mytischenskaya Chordial Line and the Strogino-Perovskaya (currently Kalininskaya) Line. Both of the new stations are actually completed, but presentely are unopened and remain as dericlict careccases
The entrance to the station is built into the lower level of Moscow's International Business Centre Moscow City, near the north bank of the Moskva River.
