This project is located on the King Abdul Aziz District of Arriyadh.
Intended to preserve the main historical characteristics and features
of the old buildings, the project consists of three main parts clustered
into a traditional urban fabric of courtyards and narrow alleys.
The first part: Al-Darat building, which consists of the administration
building and museum. The built up area (13,000m2) is distributed
on two floors (Architecture, Engineering, Landscape Design and Interior
Design). The second part: Al-Murabba Palace, and the Treasury (Conservation).
The third part: King Abdul Aziz Mosque (Reconstruction). The project
image is inspired by the architectural heritage of Najd blended
with a sensitive use of modern technology.
