Russian architecture office Blank Architects have won a competition to design the Rzhevskaya Metro Station in Moscow, Russia. The open international competition searched for proposals to design three stations along the capital?s new metro line: "Rzhevskaya," "Sheremetyevskaya," and "Stromynka." Blank Architects is one of three architecture offices winning proposals for each station, with AI Architects chosen to design "Sheremetyevskaya" station and Map Architects winning "Stromynka." Designed as a sequence of arches and topped with a transparent pavilion, the proposal creates a dialogue between monumental and light elements - a modern addition to the city?s architectural identity.

Over 200,000 people voted on the winning three with Blank Architects securing over 84,000 votes for their concept of a ?portal? to the city.  Drawing from the site of Rizhskaya Square itself, the design responds as a gateway expressed through the timeless element of arches:
