The first in-depth exploration of the award-winning King Abdulaziz
Center for World Culture in Saudi Arabia, designed by Norwegian
architects Snøhetta Ithra, also known as the King Abdulaziz Center
for World Culture, in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, is an unprecedented
architectural achievement. Designed on a monumental scale by the
Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta, built by Saudi Aramco, and
inaugurated by King Salman bin Abdulaziz in late 2017, Ithra has
been listed in Time magazine as one of the world's top 100 places
to visit and is the winner of Project of the Year and Best
Innovative Project of the Year at the Construction Innovation
Awards in 2019. This multi-purpose cultural institution, with its
unusual geometric sculptures, is one of a kind in contemporary
architecture. With stunning imagery and a holographic wrap-around
case, the book offers an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the
inspiration for Ithra, from the competition process and selection
of the architect to its complex construction and reveals the story
behind this striking architectural gem, from its inception to its
realization.
