AlKadam Train Station Canopy
With a capacity of more than 35 million passengers a year,
Alkadam train station is one of the oldest in-use stations in the
middle east. Connecting Damascus city to all governorates of
Syria and across the border to turkey.
The primary concept for the design was to create an
abstracted simulation for the mountain of Qasion. Our innovative
design was based on a 50mx25m flat plane with a 1.5mx1.5m grid
system, exposing the nodes of the grid to a vertical pull and push
forces to form a free-floated surface. The rain gutter was moved
back from the edge and was integrated within the columns.
