To outline the distinctive features of the stations, arches with different shapes and proportions have been used to create modular elements that embrace the pillars and extend into the ceilings. These elements are integrated with panels decorated with geometric patterns inspired by upper buildings and evoking the peculiarities of the surrounding neighborhoods. The panels within the stations are colored with different colors, adding vibrancy and visual identity. Installations and informational displays enrich the journey, offering passengers insights into the historical and cultural context of the area.

Bucharest Metro 5 project represents a tangible connection between the bustling activity of the upper historic city and the efficiency of its modern underground infrastructure. The arches, reinterpreted in different shapes, serve as a visual link between the ancient architectural features of the city and its contemporary outward. Informational panels not only drive passengers, but invite them to discover the city's most evocative aspects, transforming the trip into an adventure embracing past, present, and future. It's a dynamic equilibrium, bridging timeless tradition with the relentless pulse of innovation.

Strategically located in Bucharest's city center, the 6 stations of Metro Line 5 enhance accessibility and decrease congestion in crucial areas. This supports eco-friendly transit, aiding in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Materials such as locally sourced stone and marble are selected, prioritizing practicality and eco-sustainability in construction, thereby contributing to the project's overall environmental responsibility and community integration.

Line 5 represents a significant added value for the consolidated but dynamic urban context, designed to improve transportation and urban connectivity. With its 6 strategically located stations, it aims to reduce traffic congestion and enhance accessibility. Each station will have its own unique design, inspired to local history and architecture, while maintaining a cohesive visual theme. Efficiency is a key focus, with careful planning to ensure smooth passenger flow and safe movements. Environmental sustainability is also prioritized, with eco-friendly materials and construction practices integrated into the project. Overall, the project represents a balance between modernity and functionality, contributing to the city's progress and development.
