Render 1:

The chosen concept was on sustainability, where the integration of minimalistic design combined with organic geometries, accentuate the underlying concept of both Zaha Hadid and Herzog & de Meuron being simple yet dominating.

Render 2:

Zaha's association to nature evoked through her design choices is contrasted by Herzog & de Meuron's forward thinking and contemporary design featured by the mechanised/steampunk aspect of the black rungs of the light rail stop.

Render 3:

A close up of the light rail stop, featuring the waiting zone. The light colours of both the glass and the background is again, used as a contrast the dark overhanging rungs, linking the simple and practical exploration of Zaha and H&M's design choices.

Render 4:

An opposite angle from the first image. This angle highlights the harmonisation between the light rail stop and its surrounding, again, paying homage to both Zaha and H&M's architecture.

Render 5:

The association between all the elements of the surrounding, footpaths, light rail and its stop, the nature and the buildings, reiterate the statement made in the above picture. It also shows the practicality of the siting, another aspect of Zaha and H&M's architecture.
