First Video: Roof with parabolic shape that "catches" incoming wind through gaps in the roof. These gaps can be opened and closed depending on the temperature and ventilation of the building. It serves to provide natural ventilation- inspired by wind catchers used by traditional Persian architecture.

Second Video: Window which can transition between transparent, opaque and semi-cover. This flexibility allow it to suit the comfort of the occupants depending on the intensity of the sun's glare or temperature. It serves to provide natural lighting and privacy.

Keywords: Water, Wind, Light, Dynamic, Move

Theory:
The inclusion of  dynamic elements such as the wind, water and light into static infrastructure can evoke movement and life within buildings and its surrounding site.

This texture was chosen to highlight the unpredictable nature of the wind with which this roof was created to "catch"- a wind catcher-inspired roof which invites the surrounding wind for natural ventilation.

This texture is similar to the texture of a shutter with its horizontal linearity. As a result, it was chosen to emphasise the roller-blind nature of the window.

This texture was chosen to capture the dynamic circulation motion of the wind turbines.

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.
