Those pictures really looked a lot like the newer stations such as Canada Water to me. All concrete, glass and cold lighting. Undoubtedly they work and are functional but we end up with these cold, cavernous halls which serve just to get you out of them as quickly as possible. The Underground I love is the one that feels a bit lived in and isn&#x27;t clinically perfect. I like that different stations can bring different eras and have a completely different feel to them. Such as Tottenham Court Road [1] with its lovely mosaics. Now it&#x27;s just a bit more bland. All over the Underground is a lot of history and design that was probably never meant to last over 100 years [2] but it did. I don&#x27;t think these new designs are going to be pretty in 100 years.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m harking for a design philosophy that never really existed. And I like the old District line trains so what do I know!<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;now-here-this.timeout.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;Julie-Gibson-Paolozzi.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;now-here-this.timeout.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;2.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-dILlxEDvx20&#x2F;UkwfeIhKOyI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAAuA&#x2F;ob1IE6VUnGk&#x2F;s1600&#x2F;EdgewareRdStation.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;2.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-dILlxEDvx20&#x2F;UkwfeIhKOyI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAAu...</a>
