The solution relies on two ideas. One is that large areas of studded color tile would produce a uniquely rich effect. The other – is that these fields of color can become deeply meaningful and relatable by referencing memories that are shared by nearly all Russian citizens. Every child in Russia learns “every hunter wants to know where sits the pheasant” as an easy way to remember the colors of the rainbow (from the first letter of each word). Terekhovo, once a village and hunting estate, can become a place where these colors and this abstract mnemonic device spring to life. With the help of mosaic inserts (like those found on some platforms of NYC subway, but using the digital mosaic layouts), the hunters (sampled from Vasyli Perov’s famous “Hunters at rest” from Tretyakov Gallery, also featured in every textbook on Russian literature) and pheasants will come to life, as names, colors and images. Simple idea – but complex possibilities! To supplement the platform experience, all signage will be based on the texture grid of the resilient tile, and any additional features (benches, railings, etc) will also be distinctly colored.
