KAUST Experiencal Exhibition

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Scope:Design

Year: 2013

Status: Complete

Team: Khalid Henaidy.

Design Concept:

The proposal safeguards the architectural coherence and continuity of the existing building whilst developing a highly recognizable environment for the experiential exhibition.

All existing spaces are united into a single space that is reorganized by inserting a series of  diverse “objects” that will generate a variety of very specific and diverse environments.

All objects will be clearly distinguishable from the building and will express their almost clandestine nature expressing the way they are literally inserted into the building.

Central to the exhibition is the Experiential Capsule that will offer visitors key multimedia systems that will provide a fully interactive and immersive experience.

The lounge will be formed by sound-absorbent partitions that will form semi-enclosures that will provide meeting and informal meeting corners.
