Metro Vienna
The U5 line - the Pythagorean line was named after a right triangle with a side ratio of 1/2 / √3, which represents the basic unit in the design of an underground station. Different applications of the rectangle create different parts of the underground station and shape the overall visual image of the U line.
The “Wiener Linien” logo corresponds to the designed pattern, which is no coincidence. The pattern is adaptable in different dimensions to different spatial contexts in the city center. The furniture is "extruded" from the walls and floor. The strength of the sample decreases in the direction of "safe" areas, which simplifies evacuation.

Metro U5
Linija U5 - Pitagorova linija je dobila ime po pravokotnem trikotniku z razmerjem stranic v 1/2/√3, ki predstavlja osnovno enoto v oblikovanju podzemne postaje. Različne aplikacije pravokotnika tvorijo različne dele podzemne postaje in oblikujejo celotno vizualno podobo omenjene linije.
Logo “Wiener Linien” ustreza izoblikovanemu vzorcu, kar ni naključje. Vzorec je prilagodljiv in se v različnih dimenzijah prilagaja različnim prostorskim kontekstom v mestnem središču. Pohištvo je “ekstrudirano” iz sten in tal. Jakost vzorca pa pojenjuje v smeri “varnih” območij, kar poenostavlja evakuacijo.
