With the aim to attract residents and visitors alike to celebrate the birthplace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this arena was designed to capture the geology and culture of Diriyah. Evoking local geological formations, stone monoliths rise from the landscape, featuring a series of "digital waterfalls" that hint at the dynamic experience within.
We are providing structural design, façade engineering, façade access design and protective design and security services to HKS for the project. Designed to host a range of event types, the arena will be technologically advanced while uniting people in a shared sense of culture.
