The concept at the root of the project is Audi’s first full electric car the all-new Audi e-tron, with unparalleled driving comfort that considers the environment.

Abdalla Almulla was inspired by the Audi e-tron's power, comfort and silent interior. Within its power lays tranquility promising the user a calm driving journey.

Envisioning a structure to reflect the design elements of the Audi e-tron resulted in two guiding forces when designing the Hub - horizontal lines sweeping along the car’s outer edge, and the power of silence while driving.

With these forces combined is a space layout created by intersecting Audi circles combined with a sweeping sculpted steel structure connecting two main spaces by slim horizontal lines indicating a transcending fluid pattern of robust steel members showcasing Audi’s surpassing limits in motion. Its curved form also features a gradient mesh creating shade and representing the tranquil gradual change the car travels from one state to another.

The Audi Innovation Hub acts as a communal venue for the week-long programme of Audi Innovation Talks, a showcase space for one of the latest Audi models and a place to discover the winning projects of the annual Audi Innovation Award.
