How Saudi Vision 2030 Is Reshaping the Face of Architecture
The significant expansion of the cultural, tourism, and urban sectors has led to a notable growth in the scale and diversity of architectural projects across the Kingdom.
This expansion means not only more projects, but also greater variety in their nature — from large-scale tourism destinations to mid-sized cultural, educational, and government facilities — requiring local studios to be more adaptable across different scales and contexts.
At AKA, we see this period as a genuine opportunity to build a contemporary Saudi architectural identity that can be exported as a regional reference point, rather than simply importing ready-made architectural models from abroad.
