In Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, after the entrance of a subway station was described by some netizens as "resembling a coffin" due to its unique exterior design, the Hangzhou Metro Group explained that the original design aimed to integrate technological and modern elements.
The entrance of Chuangjing Road Metro Station in Hangzhou sparked heated discussions on social media due to its "bizarre" design.
According to videos circulating online, the metro entrance features a blue arched structure, with protruding edges and the Hangzhou Metro logo atop, the Paper reported.
Some netizens commented that they "mistook the metro entrance for a coffin at the first glance." Others questioned how such a design passed examination and approval procedures.
Responding to such comments, staff workers from Hangzhou Metro Group said they had noticed the online discussions, noting that "the metro entrance has maintained this design since its operation," according to the report.
The architectural design concept drew inspiration from celestial and sci-fi elements, incorporating artistic lighting to shape the spatial ambiance, according to the staff worker.
The staff also noted that the pattern design in the core area was inspired by the image of a "wormhole."
According to previous reports by a Hangzhou local media outlet, this metro station entrance is currently the only uniquely shaped entrance in Hangzhou's metro system.
Located in the core area of Hangzhou Future Sci-Tech City, the design incorporates architectural features from modern office buildings based on the surrounding planned cluster of high-end commercial complexes, the staff said.
Utilizing glass curtain walls as the foundation, it achieves organic integration with neighboring architectural complexes, according to the report.
Regarding whether adjustments would be made to the metro entrance design based on public feedback, the staff worker said that the design and construction had undergone professional review and evaluation, and any modifications would be reassessed and considered by Hangzhou Metro Group according to actual circumstances.
