The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features a brick metro station in Tehran. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
KA Architecture Studio designed an entrance to the Jahad Metro Plaza comprised of barrel-vaulted forms made from handmade bricks.
Commenters were in awe of the structure. One found the “absence of exposed concrete with vaulted forms” refreshing. Another praised the “modern twist” on “ancient and original forms”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included the reveal of OMA’s first major public building in the UK, the completion of BIG’s supertall skyscraper in New York and a wearable CNC machine.
