KSA National Architecture Guidelines
View all projectsWith a youthful population and significant development underway, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is experiencing a boom in construction and urban transformation. It is within this context that we are part of the core team contributing to the development of the Saudi Architecture Guidelines for five of the country’s regions. These design codes aim to foster progressive contemporary design that is rooted in diverse geographical and cultural contexts. Taking inspiration from vernacular forms, they are forward-looking and intended for a wide range of building and project types.
