Step back into the 70s here with funky orange tiles, rounded corners and huge, serpentine flower mosaics. The attached entrance parkettes with the flowing orange tile benches are the closest Toronto has to Gaudi. Plus this has a personal connection as this is where I first met my wife.

This is my favorite subway station because the lighting, colours and angles are completely unexpected in a subway station. Fantastic.

Out of all the subway stations in the city, Dupont is my fave. I often tell people that the station has no sharp edges -- almost every corner is rounded. The round, orange tiles are in stark contrast is the subdued hues of the Bloor-Danfoth subway line. The large tile mosiac, called Springtime on Dupont, was created by James Sutherland. There are a number of wonderfully flowing flower mosiacs near the fare collector's booth that are poorly lit by these round, bulbous lights.
