British firm Zaha Hadid Architects has begun construction on three new stations for the Dnipro Metro in Ukraine as part of a four-kilometre line extension.

Zaha Hadid Architects has designed three stations for the Dnipro Metro in Ukraine
The stations are set to open in 2025 and will run linearly through the city nearby the Dnieper River.
Once complete, the extended line will connect the city centre, Dnipro-Holovnyi train station, businesses, education and cultural institutions with Dnipro's eastern neighbourhoods.
The stations boast a sculptural look On ground level, each station will take shape as a visually connected family of sculpted shell pavilions, constructed from recycled steel sourced locally from the city.
Visuals show the entrances to the stations as undulating welded steel forms that rise and arch from newly designed, landscaped public plazas that aim to centre the entrance pavilions as landmarks.
The interiors of the stations will feature undulating wall panels
"The city of Dnipro has a long history as a centre of excellence in engineering, metallurgy and manufacturing," said Zaha Hadid Architects.
"These rich traditions are echoed in the welded steel entrance pavilions of the city's new metro stations."
