…….just take the metro.
Did you think this is a metro station? Look at the space.
I
am amazed by the space under ground in São
Paulo . Above the ground São Paulo is often congested, but just a bit
down…..

The metro in São Paulo is really nice to look at as “a space”. It is also a place of art and culture.
Consolação metro station |
These panels in Consolação metro station are by Tomie Othake. On the Internet there
is even a map to show where you can find works of art in the metro of São Paulo .
Republica metro station |
The hart of São Paulo
is the Praçá de Sé with the main cathedral. There is also the central metro
station. It is where the red line crosses the blue.
Piano waiting for action |
Sé main station |
A lot of art in the Sé station. Pity I Couldn't find the name of the
artist that made the mural.
Exhibition of different artists at Sé |
The statue is by Alfredo Ceschiatti ( some English text ) a very famous Brazilian sculpturer.
You almost forget that there is a train to catch .......
When we were there, we were in a hurry and just saw a few
things. But I think it is worth to go to São
Paulo , wait for the rain (it will come!) and go down
into the metro to enjoy the many things of beauty…..

Maybe the best pictures I ever saw of the metrô in São Paulo! It's not always so empty, there are some hours in the work days when you can hardly walk. But it's still a very practical and clean one (everybody says it's better than New York, but I don't know this one).
ReplyDeleteWe need more stations, that are under construction. For the World Cup and the Olimpic Games (this in Rio) we'll need a lot of transport.
