Bridge-Like Metro Stations

UNStudio Creates a Section of the Doha Metro in Qatar

— September 19, 2014 — Art & Design
When it comes to metro stations, the size, shape and overall approach in terms of design can vary greatly. UNStudio has begun work on completing the Doha station in Qatar, taking inspiration from the surrounding architecture of the area.

The building looks like a small bridge from afar, with a tall structure and one that stands out. The coloring also takes in characteristics from the surrounding area, with a beige-like look that has that dessert feel. For anyone visiting the area, they are sure to be impressed with this design, and want to hop on the metro to take in the surrounding sights.

UNStudio has done a great job with the overall look of this.
