On November 25th, the “Diriyah Art Futures” in Riyadh – the first museum in the Gulf designed exclusively for digital art – will open with the major exhibition Art Must Be Artificial: Perspectives of AI in the Visual Arts, curated by Jerome Neutres and featuring guests from around the world. The building, created by Italian architects Schiattarella Associati, is the first public project launched as part of Vision 2030, the ambitious plan guiding Saudi Arabia’s economic, cultural, and social transformations in the coming years.

这座现代化的建筑物坐落在利雅得以北的沙漠边缘，毗邻联合国教科文组织认定的世界文化遗产At-Turaif。这里是Najd沙漠地区的古都，也是阿拉伯半岛最重要的历史和考古遗址之一。

This contemporary structure is set along the desert’s edge, north of Riyadh, near the UNESCO site of At-Turaif, the ancient capital of the Najd desert region and one of the Arabian Peninsula’s most important historic and archaeological sites.

该项目由沙特文化部委托并策划，Schiattarella Associati事务所设计，并由Haytham Nawar领导。整个建筑占地12,000 平方米，包括工作室、展览空间、研究实验室、艺术家居所、礼堂以及新媒体和数字语言培训中心。

Commissioned and curated by the Saudi Ministry of Culture and designed by Schiattarella Associati, “DIRIYAH ART FUTURES” is led by Haytham Nawar and will house studios, exhibition spaces, research labs, artist residences, an auditorium, and a training center for new media and digital languages, in an area of 12,000 sqm.

面向未来的挑战，与Najd遗产和传统对话的当代建筑
A future-oriented challenge, contemporary architecture that dialogues with Najd heritage and tradition.

建筑师团队指出：“我们希望建筑给人的感觉就像是从大地中诞生的一样。这就是我们的设计方法：利用自然的价值，创造出一种能与当地产生深刻共鸣的现代设计语汇。”

“We wanted the architecture to feel as though it emerged from the earth,” say the architects. “This is our approach to design: harnessing natural values to create a contemporary language that resonates deeply with the location.”

DIRIYAH未来艺术中心不是一座紧凑型的建筑，而是一系列倾斜且独特的体量。坐落在沙漠高原上的农业绿洲中，建筑体块沿着哈尼法河谷的山脊水平延伸。这些体量旨在重新连接河谷的城市和农业部分，恢复建筑与自然之间的平衡。建筑与狭窄、幽深的通道交替出现，营造出众多阴凉的区域，这沿袭了该地区典型的传统Najd建筑风格。这是一项真正具有具体目标的 “定制化 ”工作。

The “DIRIYAH ART FUTURES” is not a compact building but rather a series of lean, distinct volumes that extend horizontally along the Wadi Hanifa ridge, an agricultural depression amid the desert plateau. Designed to reconnect the urban and agricultural parts of the wadi, restoring the balance between construction and nature, they alternate with narrow, deep passages that create shaded and cool zones, following traditional Najd architecture typical of the area — a “tailoring” work with specific objectives.

Amedeo Schiattarella指出：“建筑是一个边界性的结构。建筑物的一侧是古老的历史中心，有着狭窄的街道和低矮的建筑；而另一侧则是农业区，有着花园、田地和水井。在这两者之间，城墙曾经既是分界线，又是连接线。通过城墙上的城门，水、农作物和建筑材料得以进入城市。因此，我们旨在重现这一‘通道’的概念。在这里，一切都可以相互连接，同时也能清晰地标示着边界。”

“This is a boundary structure,” notes Amedeo Schiattarella, “On one side lies the old historic center with its narrow streets and small buildings, and on the other the agricultural zone with gardens, fields, and wells. Between the two, city walls once served as both division and connection. Through these gates, water, crops, and building materials would enter the city. We’ve recreated this passageway concept, where everything connects while clearly marking boundaries.”

Amedeo、Andrea和Paola Schiattarella补充说：“国际化导致全球文化多样性变得扁平，城市景观逐渐变得千篇一律，建筑的多样性正在丧失。因此，当今真正的挑战是从多样性的价值出发，致力于彰显每个地方的鲜明特点与特征。”

“Global internationalization has led to a flattening of cultural diversity, with progressive standardization of urban landscapes and a loss of architectural ‘biodiversity’,” add Amedeo, Andrea, and Paola Schiattarella. “The true challenge today is to start from the value of diversities, working on distinctive characteristics and the specific traits of each place.”

研究、创新和基于自然的解决方案
Research, innovation, and natural-based solutions

DIRIYAH未来艺术中心是一座“零废”建筑，旨在遵照沙漠地区的的传统，通过对建筑形式、空间分布、特定场地条件、材料和知识的运用，满足尽可能多的需求。这是一个现代化项目，旨在应对在历史悠久的土地上创造新的人文维度的挑战。作为Najd地区的传统，沙漠建筑的基础是直接从建筑所在地取材，使用石头、生土和泥灰等建筑材料。这就造成了该地区建筑物在土地和建筑结构之间形成了强烈的材料连续性。

The architecture of “Diriyah Art Futures” is waste-free, born, as is desert tradition, to answer as many needs as possible through form and spatial distribution, using site-specific conditions, materials, and knowledge. It’s a contemporary project that meets the challenge of creating a new human dimension in a historically layered land. Najd’s tradition, desert architecture, is based on using construction materials directly from the site: stone, raw earth, and mud plaster. The result is a strong material continuity between soil and structure.

建筑体量之间的空间与古代居住区的狭窄街道和小广场相呼应。设计的目的是创造出紧凑、遮阳的区域，让风在这里流动，降低温度，为行人遮挡阳光和热量。为此，设计了朝向河谷等较为潮湿的区域的通风通道。建筑系统的设计遵循了最新的可持续发展原则，包括通过地热冷却系统、雨水收集和再利用系统等措施，优化了光照影响并确保了能源效率。

The spaces between the building’s volumes echo the narrow streets and small squares of ancient settlements. The aim was to create compact, shaded areas where wind flows, reducing temperature and shielding pedestrians from sun and heat. To this end, ventilation channels oriented toward the wadi—the more humid area—were created. Designed with the latest sustainability principles in mind, the complex was built to optimize solar exposure and ensure energy efficiency with geothermal cooling and rainwater collection and reuse.

室内设计
The interior design

室内装饰由Paola Schiattarella策划，采用了泥灰等当地材料，特别是利雅得石，这是一种如同凝固沙子的材料，在阳光下保留了沙漠的共鸣。咖啡厅的特色是更现代的musharabiya建筑风格，让人联想到被风雕刻的石墙。建筑的 “第二层皮肤”可以透光并产生内在的光影效果，让人可以向外看去而不被外面的人们看到。

The interiors, curated by Paola Schiattarella, incorporate local materials such as mud plaster and Riyadh stone—solidified sand that retains the resonance of the desert under sunlight. The Cafe features a contemporary musharabiya, reminiscent of stone walls sculpted by the wind. “A second skin that lets in light, creating inner shadow play, allowing one to see without being seen.”

建筑的地下核心部分不受阳光和热的影响。这里设有实验室和数字艺术工作室，材料也变得现代：钢材、玻璃和水泥与沙特室内装饰中罕见的木材相得益彰。

The building’s underground core, protected from sunlight and heat, houses labs and studios for digital art. Here, materials turn contemporary: steel, glass, and cement complemented by wood—a rare material in Saudi interiors.

在这个地下区域的中心，一个大型开放空间是艺术家们的聚集地。自然光通过一个巨大的“钟”照射进来，让光线能够深入建筑的室内。
At the center of this underground area, a large open space serves as an artists’ gathering spot, with natural light channeled in through a massive “bell” that allows light to penetrate deeply.
