A year ago, Chris Forsyth started the Montréal Metro Project to simultaneously explore architecture photography and his daily urban environment. “Taking the metro daily to and from school I got to know a handful of stations quite intimately,” he says. “In doing so I really began to recognise how beautiful they are, and how overlooked their design is. When commuting, you don’t take the time to look around and appreciate where you are as much as the spaces deserve.”
He began sharing his photos on Instagram using #mtlmetroproject, and now fellow Montrealers (and visitors) contribute their own photos using the hashtag, building an archive of the city’s 68 metro stations.
