In partnership with ACE,

The transportation theme is interpreted in a dynamic Language of Forms that is shaped in accordance to the constraints of the urban setting. The dominant features of the architectural concept mark the motion of the observer from the motorway side and address the visitor coming from the access side, either by car or form the metro station. In order to solve this double priority, we conceived an inverted prism that extends to the full length of the building, to be perceived from the motorway as an architectural Sign, embodying motion. It cantilevers from the access side to enhance the entrance aspect in a stimulating experience of moving along and through.

The volumes and envelope of the building extend visually the dynamic perception of the space and offer an identitarian mark of the transportation theme in land, air, and sea.
The Architectural character combines Tradition to Modernity in an abstract geometry that recalls the aesthetics of Islamic Heritage. The angular shapes of the volumes are the interpretation in three dimensions of an arabesque composition system.
