Qasr AlHokm地铁站丨沙特阿拉伯利雅得

作为沙特首都新建地铁系统四大主要枢纽之一，同时连接两条主要地铁线路，这座位于历史悠久的阿尔·奇里（Al-Qiri）区的车站被设计为一处开放的城市步行广场，其巨大的不锈钢顶篷犹如一面城市潜望镜。通过镜面般的悬挑结构，车站各层空间在视觉上彼此联通，将外部环境反射至内部，同时将内部活动映射至外部。该结构不仅为地下站厅引入自然光，还为周边公共区域提供遮阴。

As one of four main hubs in the new metro system of the Saudi capital, connecting two of the main metro lines, the historic Al-Qiri district station is designed as an open urban and pedestrian plaza with a large stainless-steel canopy that acts as an urban periscope.

Snøhetta 于2012年提出的竞赛获胜方案为该车站的设计基础。这一拥有85座车站的地铁系统每日可承载多达360万名乘客，并已自去年1月起向公众开放。除了为所有市民提供低排放交通方式外，这一全新的公共交通网络还连接了城市多个关键区域，有助于缓解这座快速增长城市的交通拥堵问题——目前约97%的出行仍依赖私家车。

Snøhetta developed the winning competition concept for the station in 2012. The 85 station metro system has a ridership capacity up to 3,6 million passengers per day and has been open to the public since January last year. In addition to making lowemission transport available to everyone, the new transitnetwork links key districts and helps reduce traffic congestion in the rapidly growing city where approximately 97% of all trips are still made by private cars.

映射周边环境

Mirroring the surroundings

钢制顶篷作为空间焦点，标示出车站的主要入口。其闪亮的外表面由8毫米厚的双曲面不锈钢板焊接而成，并经抛光处理，以呈现出平滑、无缝的整体效果。支撑结构为钢制空间网架——一种坚固而轻量的结构体系，通过可调节拉杆与不锈钢外皮连接，使顶篷得以超越其基座——一面巨大的锥形墙体——向外延伸。地下部分的倾斜内墙则采用受当地传统建筑启发的抹灰表面处理。作为统一建筑元素与导向节点，这一钢制顶篷还通过其镜面反射将间接阳光引导至下方空间。顶篷上方设置了用于能源生产的光伏板。

The steel canopy serves as the focal point and marks the main entrance to the station. Its shiny outer surface is made from 8 mm double curved stainless-steel panels that are fully welded together and polished to create a smooth, seamless appearance. The supporting steel spaceframe – a strong, lightweight steel structure with adjustable tie rods for the connection to the stainless skin – allows the canopy to extend above and beyond its base: a massive cone wall. Beneath ground level, the sloping interior walls are finished with a rendered surface inspired by the area’s traditional architecture. Acting as both a unifying architectural element and a point of orientation within the building, the steel canopy also reflects indirect sunlight downward from its mirrorlike surface. PV panels for energy production are mounted on the upper side of the canopy roof.

“当你走出列车并抬头仰望时，会在顶篷下方看到整个城市的360度倒影，从而立即了解自己在城市中的位置。同样地，当你从城市步行而来并仰望顶篷，它会映射出下方发生的一切。”——Snøhetta 合伙人兼项目负责人 Robert Greenwood

When you come off the train and look up, you see a 360-degree view of the city reflected on the underside of the canopy. So, you get an immediate picture of where you are in the city. Likewise, if you’re coming from the city, you look up into the canopy, and it mirrors everything that happens below —Robert Greenwood, Snøhetta Partner and Project Lead

通向中庭的玻璃管状站台

Glasstube platforms opening into the atrium

两条地铁线路以透明管道形式穿越开放空间，形成鲜明的视觉形象，同时强化车站内的导向系统。各站台被封装于玻璃管中，并延伸至中庭挑空空间，实现室内外的无缝整合，使到达与离开的乘客在站台区域即可感受到中庭空间的宏大尺度。对于穿行其中的旅客而言，这一独特景观不仅突显了利雅得历史中心的重要性，也象征着城市历史与当代转型之间的连接。

The two metro lines traverse the open space within transparent tubes, creating a striking visual presence and enhancing wayfinding throughout the station. The platforms are each encapsulated within glazed tubes that protrude into the atrium void space, allowing for a seamless integration between interior and exterior, and opening the platform areas to the grandness of the atrium for both arriving and departing passengers. For travelers passing through, this striking sight highlights the importance of Riyadh’s historic downtown and symbolizes the connection between the city’s past and its contemporary transformation

地下恒温花园

Underground, tempered garden

在中庭底部，一处可供公众进入的恒温花园被打造出来。花园可从两条线路及换乘层进入，使乘客在候车时能够于遮阴绿意中休憩。该花园位于地下约35米处，即使在炎热的夏季亦能维持宜人的温度环境。其灌溉用水则收集自上方铺装广场与顶篷的雨水。

At the base of the atrium, an accessible, tempered garden has been established. The garden can be accessed from the two lines and the transfer level, allowing passengers to relax in a shaded, green space while waiting for their train. Located at around 35 meters below city level, the garden maintains a temperate environment even during the hot summer periods. Water for irrigation is collected from the paved plaza areas and canopy above.

利雅得历史核心中的公共门户

A public gateway in Riyadh’s historic heart

车站位于利雅得历史中心地带，毗邻原王宫与阿尔达霍（Al Daho）区的传统土坯建筑，并紧邻一处重要的开斋节祈祷广场，该场地可容纳年度宗教活动期间成千上万信众的集散。

广场采用光滑的水磨石铺装，并延伸至场地边界，明确界定其作为开放公共空间的属性。这一宽敞场所整合了地铁站与新建清真寺的公共功能——该清真寺作为项目一部分重建，以适应场地结构调整。沿朝向麦加方向布置的发光排水沟，使广场能够作为清真寺的户外延伸空间使用。

Situated in the historic heart of Riyadh, close to the original palace and the old adobe buildings of the Al Daho district, the Qasr AlHokm station lies next to an important Eid prayer field, dimensioned to accommodate the movement of many thousands of people gathering and dispersing during the annual event. The plaza area has a smooth terrazzo surface that extends to the edges of the site, clearly designating it as an open civic realm. This generous public space creates a unified surface dedicated to the public functions of the metro station and a new mosque, which was reconstructed as part of the project to accommodate significant changes to the site’s structural layout. The illuminated drainage channels aligned with Makkah allows the space to function as an outdoor extension of the mosque.

“公共交通的引入对利雅得而言是一次重要进步。这座车站被设计为面向所有市民开放的空间，不论性别或社会身份，并推动环境与社会的可持续发展。新建的广场与花园进一步强化了公共领域，为周边社区提供了宝贵的共享空间。”——Snøhetta 创始合伙人 Kjetil Trædal Thorsen

“The arrival of public transport in Riyadh represents a remarkable step forward. This station is designed as a place for all citizens, regardless of gender or social status, and promotes both environmental and social sustainability. The new plaza and garden further strengthen the public realm, providing valuable shared spaces for the nearby communities,” —Snøhetta’s founding partner Kjetil Trædal Thorsen.

传统与新媒体艺术的融合

Merging tradition and new media art

在尊重车站历史语境的前提下，中庭内墙装饰以受纳吉迪（Najdi）传统图案启发的窗洞纹样，呼应周边街区的建筑特征。这些由326个不同尺寸三角形切割构成的图案开口，不仅在不同空间之间创造出若隐若现的视觉联系，同时柔和地过滤光线，引入中庭。

With respect for the station’s historic setting, the inner atrium walls are adorned with a windowcut pattern inspired by traditional Najdi motifs, echoing the architectural character of the surrounding neighborhoods. Designed to create subtle glimpses between the different sections of the station, the patterned openings – formed by 326 triangular carvings in three different sizes – also filter light gently into the atrium.

在混凝土锥体之外，一面长达100余米的衬墙上设置了连续的新媒体艺术装置，用于灯光与艺术展示。该媒体艺术墙由879块面板组成，融合声学、照明与影像模块，既可作为独立设计元素，也成为动态背景。

媒体墙上不断变化的光影运动，有助于使用者理解主要流线空间的尺度与比例，从而强化导向系统。尽管其展示内容会不断变化，但整体视觉表达始终保持平滑与宁静，与高速列车及人流的动态形成有意识的对比。

The shifting movement of light across the media wall helps users understand the scale and proportions of the main circulation space, supporting both orientation and the overall wayfinding strategy. While its content will vary, the media art wall has been developed to maintain a smooth, calm visual expression, offering a deliberate contrast to the high speed of the trains and the flow of people moving toward them.
