Riyadh

Transforming a Desert City

Beschreibung

Riyadh presents critical theoretical insights, personal observations, and serendipitous encounters to deftly demonstrate how the city thrives through the actions of its people. It is a vision of an urbanity where both the spectacular and the everyday co-exist, not just dedicated to the few, but one that serves the many.
