The arts and crafts of Pakistan testify to the Pakistani artist being a true love of nature. Henna art is one of the artistic expressions of Pakistani people especially for the weddings and ceremonies. The station design, although very much modern in its functioning nature, emulates the beauty of decorative pattern as found in most of Pakistani art culture. The station, with its location supposedly generate a strong focal point, is no doubt the best medium to project the beauty of local tradition and at the same time making a statement of an “ Idealistic Modern nation with a beautiful tradition”. The decorative pattern will be crafted with Glass-reinforced-cement as precast panel cladding and installed to station main façade along its longest surface.
