Automatic Metro District

The Automatic Metro District, located at Via Fratelli Tampellini 47 in Collegno, Turin, Italy, serves as the operational hub for Turin's Line 1 of the Automatic Metro. Designed by architects Giovanni Brino and Thomas Muirhead in 2000, the complex encompasses approximately 20,000 square meters and includes the depot, administrative offices, control center, and maintenance workshops. The main building's distinctive design resembles a merchant ship, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the Certosa di Collegno and the Basilica di Superga. The interior features expansive spaces with prefabricated concrete panels, large windows, railings, and portholes, creating a unique and functional environment for metro operations. (gtt.to.it)
