The point of departure for the Ministry Park design is the implementation of a depot for maintenance
and control of Riyadh’s future metro line five an the construction of the new Minsitry of Educatin building. These operations necessitate thoughts on how to treat the interface between both infrastructures and they offer a great opportunity to handle this question through a landscape solusolution.
Three architectural elements are components of the park design
: the Ministry of Education, the Metro Station and the Depot. The mountain responds to the three architectural elements by using the Depot construction backfill, providing access from the Metro station to the
park and creating a scale and monumental dialog with the Ministry and the entire city.
