Golshahr Urban Railway Station

Golshahr Urban Railway Station in Karaj, designed by Farzad Rouzbeh of Hamgrooh Consulting Engineers, won fourth place at the 5th Grand Memar Award in 2005. This above-ground terminal station serves Tehran–Karaj Metro Line One, covering 16,000 square meters on a 7-hectare site, with the design completed between 2002 and 2004.

Hadi Tehrani expressed his appreciation for this station's approach, noting that it successfully balanced functionality with architectural expression. The station design addressed the public nature of transit infrastructure while creating a distinctive identity through its monumental parabolic concrete arches that span the main entrance. Nasrin Seraji added that the material choices and structural system were well-integrated.

The station's most striking feature is its series of parabolic concrete arches framing the two-story interior and establishing a bold silhouette visible from the approaching highway. These structural arches serve both as the primary load-bearing system for the elevated platform canopy and as an iconic gateway marking the threshold between the urban landscape and the transit infrastructure. A tall angular glass tower at the entrance floods the interior with natural light.
