Photography: Victor Romero

Overview

The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Metro Station in Riyadh was one of the last major projects designed by Zaha Hadid before her passing in 2016. , it stands as one of her last high-profile transportation designs. The station embodies her signature fluid, organic architecture, inspired by natural forms such as wind-sculpted sand dunes. Sustainability is a key feature, with smart lighting, natural ventilation, and eco-friendly materials enhancing energy efficiency. The station directly links to KAFD, Riyadh’s financial hub, making it a vital part of the city's infrastructure.
