About the Design Studios project:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision is an ambitious quality-of-life program dedicated to the improvement of the urban fabric, elevating the built environment, fostering a booming economy, and developing vital communities. Key goals are to recover the architectural and urban identity of all the Kingdom's regions, genuinely enhance the urban character & pattern, and facilitate comprehensive urban transformation of cities into architecturally and urbanely advanced communities.
One of the most important tools to realize this urban transformation is the Kingdom's urban identity projects initiative which focuses on defining the Kingdom's architectural and urban identities by dividing the Kingdom into nineteen realms - each with unique regional & urban identities. This division has led to nineteen design directives for all the KSA regions. These directives provide architectural and urban guidelines to restore and provide architectural and urban identity in a manner that motivates consultancy offices, developers, and citizens to realize the urban identity initiative objectives and, in turn, deliver remarkable benefits to the built environment and urban fabric of the Kingdom's cities.
The guidelines are prefaced by the general description of architectural and urban patterns. Based on historical studies that highlight major genuine architectural & urban landmarks. The guidelines address architectural design, urban formation & public realm spaces, the organization of architectural elements on building facades and align with directives to foster consistency of these elements together. Guidelines & directives include but are not limited to the design and forms of different elements, materiality & preferred colors, & components that identify the character & pattern of buildings to ensure consistency with the urban pattern requirements.
To advance the region's development projects consistent with its urban and architectural identity objectives, qualified Design Studios are required to be established. The objective of each Design Studio is to provide consultancy services & directives for new development projects in support of implementing urban & architectural guidelines, detailed codes, design directives & processes.
