A classic cantilevered portal serves as a work of art in the Akazienweg underground station in Cologne. The support structure on the platform at Akazienweg underground station makes use of architectural techniques: the load is visible — and it is real. Heinrich Brummack and Jochen Scharf, 1989. Two side beams support the crossbeam, and the load is visibly transferred downwards into the columns and the floor. The sleeping figure literally transforms the portal into an oppressive threshold, where the golden stone hovers above her like a menacing weight. Venloer Straße in Cologne, Germany
