QIDDIYA CITY MASTERPLAN

Epic scale

Use differently scaled elements, tailored to the program and the site to create a distinct identity for each district and for Qiddiya as a whole.

1. Create monumental landmarks in the Edge of the World with large volumetric massing to anchor the district.

2. Design the Qiddiya Arches to span a geological cavity to protect, shade, and cool the area below.

3. Transition from monumental scale to interior space by using large scale cementitious blocks in the Arena.

4. Relate to human scale with small scale modular elements in the Creative Village

3. THE ARCHES AT CITY EDGE

1. THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

1. Extend slab edges and taper and elongate vertical and horizontal structural elements to provide shading and accentuate the depth of the facade.

2. Recess glazing to provide self-shading and create outdoor spaces.

3. Accentuate the depth of massive cementitious enclosures by recessing glazing.

4. Provide light and ventilation by carving the massive cementitious elements. Taper openings to decrease glare and shade the interior of the opening.

1. Accentuate depth and mass with carved or recessed openings in the Arena.

2. Taper the openings of the Villas to decrease glare and shade the interior of the building.

3. Recess openings in the Creative Village to provide deep self-shading overhangs and outdoor spaces.

2. TYPICAL CREATIVE VILLAGE SCREENS

1. TYPICAL CREATIVE VILLAGE MASONRY PATTERNS

1. Form interstitial spaces and rooms by stacking and carving precast cementitious elements.
