Overview
The project site is located in Qaboun, in the northeastern part of Damascus. Its position establishes an important connection between the city and its surrounding urban areas, providing an opportunity to develop a contemporary transportation hub that improves accessibility and connectivity. The station is conceived as a fluid sequence of spaces, where architecture, movement and light work together to create a seamless and intuitive passenger experience.

Design notes
- 01From movement to a continuous journey: the roof, circulation and platforms are treated as one gesture rather than three systems.
- 02The form is developed in four moves — basic mass, subtraction, fluid form, integration with the landscape — so the section explains the roof.
- 03A repetitive steel structure supports the large-span roof and shades the platforms; glazing, metal panels and stone carry the material language.
