The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has announced that work has begun on Expo Metro Station, a new addition to the Riyadh Metro network that will connect the Expo 2030 Riyadh project site to the capital's public transport system. 

The station's architectural design draws inspiration from Riyadh's wadis and native Acacia gerrardii trees, featuring branching steel structures, wide canopies to provide shade and landscaped green spaces surrounding the facility, said RCRC in its LinkedIn notification.

Inspired by Riyadh’s wadis and native Acacia gerrardii trees, the station will bring together striking architecture, green spaces and modern facilities, connecting the Expo 2030 Riyadh site to the city’s public transport network.

From valleys and oak trees, the architectural design of the Expo Station is inspired by its identity, with steel structures that mimic tree branches, wide canopies that provide shade, and green spaces that stretch around the station, forming a new architectural landmark within Riyadh Metro network.  

Inspired by Riyadh’s wadis and native Acacia gerrardii trees, Expo Metro Station’s design features branching steel structures, sweeping canopies that provide shade, and landscaped green spaces.
