Twin Stations - exterior

These twin subway stations located next to the bank of River Danube are currently the most important in Budapest and are part of a subway line that connects South-Buda and Pest, the latter being the city's heart. This subway line, the M4, was first envisioned in the late 80's as a part of a series of subway lines that was never fully completed.

Since the original project didn't translate well into the 21st century, the previous masterplan was taken only as a guideline to create a subway line that would reflect the city as it is now: eclectic, a mix of the old and the new. The final project takes a step further into untying itself from the original 80's plan by fully embracing what 21st century engineering is capable of doing and showing it with a bold structure reminiscent of Piranesi's carceri.
