Following the resounding success of its inaugural edition in Dubai, the upcoming Desert Architecture Forum - strategically focused on the Saudi Arabian market—is set to become the Kingdom’s premier platform for exploring the future of architecture in arid environments. The Forum is hosted in line with the recent launch of HRH Mohamed Bin Salman for the Saudi Architecture Characters Map. It is exclusively curated to highlight the Kingdom’s architectural heritage and its integration with innovative, sustainable and resilient building design and construction.
The Forum convenes government leaders, urban planners, architects, developers, and academic experts to explore the intersection of tradition, innovation, and sustainability. It will showcase visionary thinking and breakthrough technologies ranging from climate-responsive design and smart materials to regenerative infrastructure and adaptive urbanism. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation under Vision 2030, this Forum serves as a catalyst for shaping the built environment of tomorrow resilient, sustainable, and deeply rooted in place. Be part of this transformative movement where challenges become opportunities, and the future of resilient, sustainable desert cities takes shape.
