“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”
William Morris
It seems to me that the philosophy of the arts and crafts movement is captured in this article on Subway Architecture (found via the Fast Company weekly).
I realise that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that for some things function must take priority over form, but if something functional – like a subway/underground station – can be made interesting/beautiful as well, why not? I’ve certainly enjoyed the emerging variety of stations on the London Underground in recent years.
Do you have a favourite station from the article, or from your own experience?
