King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station
In fact, for about a month now the city's underground train network has been operating normally, and from the network's framework one main element can be highlighted, and it's quite impressive, it must be said: the King Abdullah metro station/interchange in the financial district, which acts as a connecting hub for the entire metro network mentioned in the city of Riyadh.
Well, the architectural work cannot but leave us speechless with its design, which evokes and intertwines a series of very interesting concepts as it integrates into the landscape through these wavy structures (resembling desert dunes), which are interspersed with lattices that are also very much in the Arab taste. But if we look at this interchange for a little longer, we are sure that other things evoked by this incredible architectural piece will appear in our minds.
The work has been developed, as we have said, by the studio founded by Zaha Hadid and inherits the best of her essence, to the delight of us all.
