UNS and Settanta7 Selected to Design Turin Metro Line 2 as a 32-Station Network

"The project envisions Line 2 as a new 'urban river,' guided by three design principles to facilitate this flow: branding, transit experience, and scales of identity."

"Recognized for its reimagining of the subway as an act of city-making, the jury emphasized how the design strengthens the relationship between mobility, public space, and the urban context."

"The architects developed a modular architectural language that adapts scale, proportion, and program to different station sites without losing clarity, while maintaining a consistent visual and spatial logic across all 32 stations."

"To ensure coherence, UNS defined three identity criteria: Network Identity, which translates the concept of the 'urban flow experience' into a unified language of signs, geometries, materials, colors, and messaging."

UNS's design proposal for Turin's new Metro Line 2, selected by an international jury, emphasizes the concept of 'flow' to enhance urban mobility. The project envisions the metro as an 'urban river' with 32 stations, focusing on branding, transit experience, and identity. It reflects Turin's heritage and culture, combining traditional and contemporary architecture. The design aims to strengthen the relationship between mobility and public space, ensuring a coherent identity across all stations through a modular architectural language.
