Weird. I've always hated how the Metro stations look. They've always felt like a bad science fiction scene to me.

- jhbadger 8y agoOne of the things that might not be obvious is besides being examples of 1970s concrete brutalism, the waffled arched ceilings in the Metro are meant to evoke the similar waffled ceiling of DC's historic Union Station (which in turn are a reference to ancient Roman architecture). So you can pretend you are living in a world where Rome didn't fall while waiting for a train (not sure if that's better than bad SF).
