# Glowing Geometric Subway Stations This Leipzig Station is a 140-Meter Illuminated Glass Tunnel By Tiffany | Published 2013-12-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leipzig-station References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/12/02/glowing-glass-blocks-surround-the-wilhelm-leuschner-platz-s-bahn-station-by-max-dudler/) Switzerland-based architect Max Dudler has designed a new [subway station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foster-partners6) called the Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz S-Bahn station located in Leipzig, Germany. It is one of four stops on the new Leipzig City Tunnel railway line. The 140 meter-long underground tunnel is made up of thousands of intricately [illuminated glass cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation). "The seemingly endless repetition of the same element in the course of the slightly curved, light-filled hall increases the sensation of the dimensions of this already large structure," says Dudler. The station's entire platform is made of terrazzo and has a predominantly concrete structure that frame the station, creating enormous glowing squares from the ground to the ceiling. "All station furnishings of the station are arranged as geometric [concrete sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material-exhibition-space)," says the studio on its design aesthetics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illuminated Subway Stations:** The use of intricate lighting designs in subway stations can enhance the overall experience for commuters and provide potential marketing opportunities for businesses. - **Terrazzo Design for Public Transit Infrastructure:** The use of terrazzo flooring and geometric sculpture designs can provide an aesthetically pleasing and durable option for public transit building material. - **Repetition in Architecture and Design:** The use of repetition in architecture and design can create a sense of scale and increase the impact of the structure. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects have an opportunity to create unique designs and experiences for public transit infrastructure. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use intricate lighting designs, durable flooring materials, and geometric sculptures to create aesthetically pleasing public transit spaces. - **Public Transit:** Public transit agencies can recreate their spaces by using unique materials and design aesthetics to improve the overall transit experience for commuters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Latticed-Steel Transport Hub Columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metropolitan-station.md) - [Glazed Pavilion Landscape Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dongdan-grassland-sea-ruins-station.md) - [Subway-Lined Waved Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wuyuanwan.md) - [Vertical Wooden Louvre Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saintdenis-pleyel-station.md) - [Artfully Designed Train Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-studio-mad.md) - [Swirled Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tunnel-vision-installation.md) - [Beach-Inspired Metro Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourism-line.md) - [Rebuilt Historic Train Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/train-station-in-the-forest.md) - [Colorful Social Housing Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-sinderen-plaza.md)
