Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Architecture looks like something done by Gaudi.

As much as I love former soviet-bloc subway stations, I don't like this at all.

If it helps, this is not in the former Soviet-bloc

It does actually, former soviet bloc having good subways is kinda like Canadians being good at bobsled; it's way less impressive than say, a Jamaican who is good at bobsled. Just being clean and having ornamentation puts it ahead of 98% of American subways, and most western european subway stations.
