Mashhad Transit Plaza
A concept for a public square above an interchange metro station that puts pedestrians before cars.
The interchange of two metro lines in Mashhad offers a chance to create a true public square, something missing at most of the city’s stations.
A square to linger in
The scheme pushes vehicle traffic to the edges and proposes a pedestrian square with plane trees, fabric canopies and flush-mounted fountains. Station entrances are light glass-and-steel pavilions that carry daylight down to the platforms.
The proposal is at early study stage and under review with city transport agencies.
