Continuing our inadvertent Snøhetta theme today, the Norwegian architecture firm has also proposed this fuselage-like metro station for downtown Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The outer skin of the building--a long tube enclosing a station on the city's Metro-C line--would be surfaced with ceramic tiles "developed in cooperation with local artists." This joins other large-scale rail projects on the Arabian peninsula. [Snøhetta]
