Design Philosophy
• Architecture as experiential choreography
• Integration over imposition
• Form as cultural narrative

Ab’ad is a vibrant space for artists to express themselves, featuring galleries for local and international artists. Its circular design offers panoramic views that immerse visitors in a harmonious blend of art and nature, allowing visitors to experience nature and art from unexpected angles.

The circular building is partially excavated and integrated into the mountain, with raw geological formations exposed inside the gallery spaces. This creates a unique environment where art meets geology — visitors don’t just see the art; they feel the terrain, walk alongside it, and connect deeply with the natural landscape of the Tuwaiq Mountains.
