*Climbing The Highest Peak In North Tyneside
*
Not that its very high - nowhere in North Tyneside is. And it's man made.
But a peak is a peak, no matter how low or artificial it is.

British firm Zaha Hadid Architects has begun construction on three new stations for the Dnipro Metro in Ukraine as part of a four-kilometre line extension.
The trio of Zaha Hadid Architects-designed stations — Teatralna, Tsentalna and Muzeina – form part of the metro line extension in the city of Dnipro that first broke ground in 2016.
Zaha Hadid Architects has designed three stations for the Dnipro Metro in Ukraine
The stations are set to open in 2025 and will run linearly through the city nearby the Dnieper River.
Once complete, the extended line will connect the city centre, Dnipro-Holovnyi train station, businesses, education and cultural institutions with Dnipro's eastern neighbourhoods.
The stations boast a sculptural look
On ground level, each station will take shape as a visually connected family of sculpted shell pavilions, constructed from recycled steel sourced locally from the city.
Visuals show the entrances to the stations as undulating welded steel forms that rise and arch from newly designed, landscaped public plazas that aim to centre the entrance pavilions as landmarks.
The interiors of the stations will feature undulating wall panels
"The city of Dnipro has a long history as a centre of excellence in engineering, metallurgy and manufacturing," said Zaha Hadid Architects.
"These rich traditions are echoed in the welded steel entrance pavilions of the city's new metro stations."

Inside the stations, the ticket halls, metro platforms and corridors will all have a similarly sculptural look.
Stretches of lighting will undulate between and across curved white panelling that covers and arches across the ceilings and walls.
Each of the stations will have a slightly different design
"The design of the ticket halls is unique to each station while the interior concourses, corridors and platforms share a cohesive formal and spatial logic that gives the Dnipro Metro a strong identity," said the practice.
"Defined by concepts of intuitive navigation, the interiors are designed to orientate and direct passengers through each station while enhancing their experience to ensure safe, comfortable and enjoyable transport across the city."
The entrance pavilions will be constructed using recycled steel as a tribute to the city's manufacturing history
The project forms part of the city's ongoing plans to upgrade its transport systems, while also reducing traffic congestion in its central neighbourhoods.
It will also provide residents and visitors with easy access from the city centre and eastern areas to Dnipro's parks, beaches and leisure facilities along the banks of the river.

Zaha Hadid Architects, now led by Patrik Schumacher, is currently working on several other transport infrastructure projects in the region.
They include a high-speed-train station in Tallinn and the Klenoviy Boulevard Station 2 in Moscow.

Además de la extrañeza de Rusia que toda la Internet ama, existe un lado opuesto de opulencia y ostentación arquitectónica de lo que algún día fue un “imperio” integrado por diversas naciones al que llamaron la Unión.
David Burdeny es un fotógrafo oriundo de Canadá y afirma ser el primer fotógrafo autorizado para registrar las hermosas estaciones de metro en Rusia una vez que sus puertas son cerradas al público en una serie de fotografías titulada “Russia: A Bright Future”. En estas condiciones es posible apreciar la intrincada belleza arquitectónica de estos recintos que heredan múltiples elementos de la arquitectura gótica stalinista.
