I dont know anything about architecture or art but i prefer the stations in peter and moscow. Just the darker floor tone alone feels more reassuring to me than the bright floors pictured here. Also the wide open layout feels very exposed

I've noticed that a lot of public buildings in China love this style of floor (not sure what it's called). Train stations, airports, etc. this style is very much in vogue, at least since 2008 when they built the old new Beijing airport.

You mean something like this?

(This is the newest station in Moscow)

That looks really cool. But I meant the older stations, they looked very homely.
