PROJECT 337

"CONCEPT TO COMPLETION"

Zaha Hadid

Launched during the London Design Festival, the 'Concept to Completion' exhibition at the Zaha Hadid Gallery provides information on Zaha Hadid Architects' projects due to open in 2020.

The 'Concept to Completion' will feature Bee'ah headquarters in the United Arab Emirates, King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) subway station in Saudi Arabia and the One Thousand Museum residential tower in the United States. The projects will be presented through Concept, Design, Detail and Construction steps, highlighting how a building's design intentions evolve and develop as part of the design process.

The Zaha Hadid Gallery will also showcase recent product collaborations, including Zaha Hadid Design's vase collections for Rosenthal.

King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Metro Station (pictured) 

 

With Riyadh's population doubling since 1990 to over 6.5 million and expected to reach 8.53 million residents in a decade, the Riyadh Development Authority (GDR) is building the Riyadh Metro, a public transit system. Brand new to the city, with 6 main lines 176 km and 85 new stations. Expected to carry 3.6 million passengers a day in full capacity mode by 2030, the Riyadh Metro will help reduce the number of car trips around the city by nearly 2 million car journeys every day.

KAFD Metro Station will serve as an important interchange on the new Blue Line (Line 1) network with the Yellow Line terminal to the airport (Line 4) and the Purple Line (Line 6), as well as an skybridge connecting to the local KAFD monorail. With six platforms on four public levels and parking facilities, the station will be a major multimodal transportation hub and a new public space for the city, fully integrated with the district.

Station design prioritizes connectivity. The anticipated traffic of trains, cars and pedestrians throughout the site has been modeled, mapped and structured to optimize internal traffic and avoid traffic jams. The resulting configuration is a three-dimensional network defined by a sequence of opposite sine waves (generated from the repetition and frequency variation of daily station traffic flows) that act as the backbone for building circulation.

These sine waves extend outside the station, where the facade pattern reduces solar gain and geometric perforations contextualize the station within its environment. The overall composition echoes the patterns generated by desert winds in the sand, where multiple frequencies and reverberations generate complex repetitions in natural formations.

Designed by ZHA, supported by the RDA team of architects, the KAFD Subway Station is made up of a subset of highly correlated elements through repetition, symmetry and scale to simplify technical challenges without compromising spatial quality or project ambition. Aiming at LEED Silver certification, the station design integrates future possibilities for additional renewable energy resources that can achieve LEED Gold certification.
