2nd Desert Architecture KSA Forum 2026

The 2nd Desert Architecture KSA Forum is a national platform focused on advancing climate-responsive, culturally grounded, and future-ready architecture across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in line with Vision 2030.

A key pillar of the Forum is the Saudi Architectural Map, showcasing 19 distinct regional architectural styles that reflect the Kingdom’s diverse climate, geography, materials, and cultural identity. The Forum explores how this framework can be translated into contemporary architecture across cities, giga-projects, and public infrastructure ensuring development remains both innovative, sustainable, and context-driven.

📆 12–13 October 2026
