King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station
Firm LocationLondon, United Kingdom
CompanyZaha Hadid Architects
The King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station’s design prioritizes connectivity. Predicted pedestrian traffic has been modelled to optimize internal circulation and avoid congestion, resulting in a three-dimensional lattice clad in ultra-high-performance concrete panels. The façade’s geometric perforations reduce solar gain. Providing optimal comfort at minimum energy demand, the station combines effective passive design with a high-efficiency cooling system powered by renewables, achieving LEED Gold certification by the US Green Building Council.
