Metro Planernaya is a station on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line of the Moscow Metro. So far, it is considered the final one, but in the future everything may change, as Moscow is constantly expanding, the scope of construction work is huge, our government is concentrating all its efforts on improving transport lines both on the ground and under it. And what will be its scale, for example, in thirty years, one can only guess. This station is located in the North-Western Administrative District, namely in the area of Northern Tushino. It opened for passengers on December 30, 1975. At that time, the country was led by L. I. Brezhnev, and the Soviet Union had no problems yet. Then they could not even imagine that in some twenty years the USSR would collapse.
The architect of this station is M. L. Trenin. T. A. Zharova acted as a design engineer. At the Planernaya metro station, there are a total of twenty-six columns, evenly divided into two rows. The pitch of the columns is 6 meters. The name Planernaya metro got its name from the street of the same name, under which the station is located, and Planernaya street itself got its name from the CentralAeroclub of the USSR. The club has a respectable age - it was opened in 1935, and now it is called the Chkalov National Aero Club. Gliding is practiced here.
For a long time there were disputes about the pronunciation of the name (according to all the rules of the Russian language, the station should have been called Planernaya - from the word glider), but in the end, since the street is called Planernaya, the metro station was named the same. Station Planernaya is located at a very shallow depth - only six meters - and belongs to the group of stations with a shallow foundation. Has one platform.
If you enter the city from the Planernaya metro station, you can get to Planernaya Street, the streets of Panfilov Heroes, Vitsis Latsis, Fomicheva and Svoboda.
The station lobby has an oval shape. In the stylistic decoration of the hall, natural materials are used, mainly light marble with a touch of ivory. The track walls of the Planernaya metro station are decorated with a beautiful geometric ornament that resembles a “Penrose mosaic” made of multi-colored marble. The columns on both sides of the hall are made of white marble, and the floor is covered with absolutely black granite. This sharp contrast of white and black looks very impressive, because from time immemorial, the combination of these two colors has been considered one of the most stylish and belongs to the category of classic combinations. Thanks to such a simple but sophisticated design, the Planernaya metro station is unique and interesting.
Planernaya is a very beautiful station of the Moscowsubway, which was opened almost thirty-eight years ago and has never changed its name, although in 1992 they wanted to rename it to the Bratsevo metro. Until now, the station looks very good, nothing here betrays traces of the old building. I do not go there often, but I remember how last year I had to call in this area, and when I saw this station for the first time, I was amazed at the beauty and simplicity of Planernaya.
