Zaha Hadid:

Organic shapes on curved roof to mirror Zaha Hadid's style of using fluid curves. A curved, hexagonal lattice wall combines Herzog de Meuron's concept of stacked geometrical elements with Zaha's use of curves. Since the core focus was to replicate Zaha Hadid's style, the chairs were also made with organic and wave-like shapes to portray a fluid rhythm. 

This concept was also applied to the bridge platforms, crossings and stairs; emphasised by their free form nature. 

Herzog de Meuron

Adhering to Herzog de Meuron's concept of using materials in different ways, glass is a recurring theme of the station. This can be seen applied to the bridge's floor. The transparency of the glass act to emphasise other key components of the station including materiality and unique structures. 

The use of stacked volumes and geometrical shapes was also applied to further reflect Herzog de Meuron's other concepts.

Textures used:

Light-tone:

The texture was chosen with the quote by Zaha Hadid “There are 360 degrees, why stick to one?” in mind. This texture showcases warped lines which diverge and converge at different areas. It represents Zaha's fluid style that contrasts to fixed and symmetrical lines. As a result, it has been applied to curved and organic structures.

Mid-tone:

This texture was applied on the cross-shaped elevator due to the cross shape. This mid-tone texture was applied to the elevator because of its wood grain characteristics which contrasts against the metallic and glass structure. The intention was to showcase Herzog de Meuron's concept of using materials in an unconventional manner to create innovative facades. 

Dark-tone:

Just like the mid-tone texture, this texture has been selected to highlight Herzog de Meuron's style. In addition to adhering to the concept of using materials unconventionally, the texture also emphasise stacked geometric forms.
