Cranes dot the skyline in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia as an icon for the rapid development in the King Abdullah Financial District. W Architecture was tasked with bringing to life two sites in this region’s unique ecology. In collaboration with FXFowle, we have integrated public and private landscapes into the impressively scaled mixed-use buildings. Construction is now well underway and the outlines of these projects can clearly be made out. The work will continue for the next year and is anticipated to be complete in the summer of 2012.
