Riyadh Metro, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Riyadh鈥檚 population has more than doubled since 1990, to more than 6.5 million people and it is expected to rise to 8.53 million within a decade. The Riyadh Development Authority (RDA) is building the Riyadh Metro, an entirely new public transit system for the city, with six main lines covering 176km (110 miles). It is expected to transport 3.6 million passengers a day by 2030 and will play a key part in reducing the number of car journeys throughout the city by almost two million trips each day.
The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Metro Station will be one of three iconic stations on Riyadh鈥檚 new Metro forming an integral part of the Arriyadh Strategic Public Transport Plan. It will serve as an above-ground, key interchange for Line 1, as well as the terminus of Line 4 (for passengers to the airport) and Line 6. The local monorail will also be accessible from the station via a skybridge.
Set to open in 2024, the 45,000m2 metro station will serve the King Abdullah Financial District, one of 14 giga-projects under development in Saudi Arabia, as part of the Vision 2030 plan to transition the kingdom away from an oil-based economy.
海角视频 was engaged to provide broad multidisciplinary expertise to both the KAFD Station and Olaya Station, working closely with Zaha Hadid Architects for KAFD and Gerber Architekten for Olaya.
The Olaya Metro Station is a complex multidisciplinary project that will establish a major transportation hub while creating a peaceful public garden. Occupying a prominent central location, this development is set above the intersection of two underground railway lines. Inside the station there are four levels extending 30 metres below ground. This space contains one rail platform that crosses under another. The above ground area accommodates food courts and a shopping mall in keeping with a scheme that employs open views and natural light to enable easy wayfinding.
The Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, Poland
Conceived as a monolithic cube veiled in a white concrete facade, the Museum of Modern Art covers 19,788m2.
