The wave as a phenomenon and metaphor has a direct relationship to the metro: the metro grows in waves of construction phases, the wave like passenger flow in accord with hourly rhythms, arriving trains disgorging people like waves upon the platform.The wave reminds of the beds which once existed in the house
of Konstantin Melnikov, whose garages are found nearby the station.<\/p> <\/div><\/li> <\/a<\/a><\/div><\/li> <\/a><\/div><\/li>
The root of the word Rjevskaya derives from the Russian word roj\u2019 meaning rye, and is also phonetically linked to the word rust. This direct association acted as a starting point for the design of the station. The tactile surface of the central hallway is a simple sprayed fireproofing finish of an intense rye hue which creates a sense of immersion into a warm, enveloping fabric and brings out the essence of the station\u2019s construction as a deep underground tunnel.<\/p> <\/div><\/li>
