A Book for Everything You Want to Know About the Moscow Metro
Hidden Urbanism is a thorough exploration of the 80-year-old transit system and its future.
What did Nikita Khrushchev desire in a station design? How many variations of that “M” logo exist? Did Misha ever appear on a ticket? The answers to such burning questions (Minimalism! So many! Yes!) and almost anything else you’d want to know about the Moscow Metro can be found in a new book.
Hidden Urbanism: Architecture and Design of the Moscow Metro 1935-2015 is a thorough exploration of the 80-year-old transit system and its future. Filled with historical documents, new photos, and an explanation of what’s to come, the 351-page book is one the best English-language sources for understanding Moscow’s most admired infrastructure.
