About KAFD Metro Station
The King Abdullah Financial District metro station, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, serves the Blue Line and connects with the Yellow and Purple lines; its form, a three-dimensional lattice of sine waves, organises the passengers moving between its six platforms over four public floors, the architects explain.
