KA Architecture Studio tops Tehran metro station with brick barrel vaults

Iranian practice KA Architecture Studio has completed the Jahad Metro Plaza in Tehran, creating a new "democratic open space" around the station that is sheltered by a cluster of barrel-vaulted forms.
Located on a busy traffic intersection near central Tehran, the new entrance for the Meydan E-Jahad metro station forms part of a wider initiative to make the city more "pedestrian-oriented" after decades of car-focused development.
