Jean-Jacques Besner
Sculptural grille (1980)
Aluminum
Location: entrance
In this monumental station, a sculptured grille improves the aesthetics of a ventilation shaft entrance. Its aluminum vanes combine visually to hide the equipment, while allowing air to circulate freely.
Did you know?
Because the original name planned for this station was Aqueduc, its architecture draws on the arching forms of ancient Roman aqueducts.
