Some of the projects currently under development


King Abdullah Financial District




Hail University




The Al Rajhi Tower

King Abdullah Stadium



Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) headquarters

This is the one I like best


Riyadh business park

Why does it look like the architects/designers are smoking crack?

i have to agree, that first pic looks like something out of the jetsons. Im not sure if its just the photo or not but it looks like the whole district is floating in the air

It's a drawing.

Probably they are!

But its cool. I really liked what they did with Jeddah and I cannot wait to see how all these turn out!

The al Jawaraha in Jeddah



The TV tower in Jeddah



And the proposed Mile Tower also in Jeddah

Its a seaport so they want tall buildings

ok drawing then

I think its just the effect created because of the way the flyovers are aligned.

Very nice designs but are those buildings environmentally green and using solar power or other types of clean energy?

It's Saudi Arabia! Oil is nearly free. what do you think?

One day there might not be any oil besides it would save them money in the long run and saving money is a very good thing in any society.

I doubt they're worried about the oil drying up.

I agree but having green buildings would be a nice thing to do to show that they are trying to help the Earth.

Not free. They pay almost one riyal a gallon.

But they are involved in research in alternate energy and nuclear energy

They'll probably turn completely to nuclear energy in a year or two

How Soon Will Saudi Arabia Turn to Nuclear Energy?

These buildings gonna burn pretty when the revolution comes...

So, who would be the rebels in that revolution?

I can tell you've never been to Saudi Arabia.

Nice buildings.

Damn near appalling...all of it.

Architecture has become a competition to see who can most efficiently express the malaise of modernity.

Neurosis personified...in steel and stone.
