From Vision to Reality: Designing at a National Scale

83 Rivington Street, Arch 3 · June 3

As KSA moves through rapid cultural, urban, and economic transformation, design is playing a growing role in how people move, gather, learn, participate, and experience public life.

This session brought together voices across architecture, urbanism, museums, research, cultural infrastructure, and interdisciplinary practice to examine how design can guide transformation on a national scale.
