awesome developments in riyadh... too many great infrastructures.. riyadh will level up soon with great skylines in the world...so clean and beautiful city...

great days to all my friends in Saudi Oger ltd in Riyadh(Diriyah and Ciconese camp) and Houfuf 8413project(Al-ahsa)

Nice :applause:

woow... so many great building are constructed there!

SOM turns the traditional Medina form on its side for new residential project

Vertical Medina is a 45,000-sq-m residential, office and retail building located in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), a new 1.6 million-sq-m, mixed-use development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project reinterprets the traditional Arab city form - the medina - by turning it on its side, creating a rich vertical network of shops, offices and apartments.

The main facades on the east and west sides of the building are characterised by interlocking frames that delineate the residential units and office spaces from each other. The 16-storey structure, clad in limestone from local sources, contains 55 luxury residential apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms and totaling 18,000 sq m. These apartments occupy the top eight floors of the building. More than 21,000 sq m of Class A office space comprise six floors below the residences, while two floors of retail shops line the street and plazas surrounding the structure.

The design blends new and old, utilising passive sustainability strategies and components of contemporary living to create a new model for living and working in the city. The primary exposures are shaded by the deep recesses of each 'courtyard' in the Medina. In traditional Arab cities, the courtyard was the centre of life at home, providing privacy, ventilation and visual interest. In the urban context of this high-rise district of Riyadh, the vertical courtyard terraces serve the same purpose and provide outstanding views of the city. Each apartment has its own private courtyard, and these courtyards are interspersed with open air gardens that will be shared by all residents and that pass from one side of the building to the other.

The shared courtyards serve as garden terraces for the fitness centre, an event room and the children’s play area. The glass facades of the residences are clad with operable shading screens – like the mashrabiyahs found in traditional Arab cities – to provide further shading from the sun and to enhance privacy. The building is scheduled to be complete in late 2012.

Once again, there is already a thread on the King Abdullah Financial District in this section : http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1232321

The search function is working properly. Everyone should make an effort to use it before posting. There is no excuse that suplicates need to be posted within the WDN section. This is also not the first time you have done this recently, and you have not answered any of my queries in the other threads. I will seriously consider reporting you to the section's mods if you choose not to respond once again.

This section is about project compilation...it's nice to see various projects around the city in one thread. Me also wanna learn and see the progress all of the project in the city in one thread.

This section is about project compilation...it's nice to see various projects around the city in one thread.

But if there are dedicated threads in the WDN already for specific, major projects, then this is not the place to put them again. It's duplication. Otherwise, there is no need for individual project threads if everything belongs to a city compilation thread.

Let see the various project pls. It's not the same photos from those in WDN. Like those Convention center project at King Abdullah Financial District in General Urban Developments at WDN still not existed...how could we see here in Riyadh Projects & Construction Thread.

But there already is a general King Abdullah Financial District thread in the WDN, which would encompass all the projects in there, including the convention centre. If you have enough content to separate it out into a dedicated thread, you should talk to that thread's creator and frequent users to do it efficiently and effectively in order to reduce duplication and enhance searching by other forumers.

The bottom line is the WDN comprises multiple sections for good reasons and the same project should not be cross-posted into a generic project thread if there already is a dedicated thread.

That means I can't post any about Burj Rafal and Capital Market Authority Headquarters CMA here also coz there're existed in the supertall section?!

Exactly. If there is a pre-existing thread in the WDN already for a specific project, all the updates should go in there. Otherwise, why would there be a thread on it in the first place?

Well...OK...one thing I wanna ask you..I see you post after me as competitor all the time everywhere..something like not natural posting...what such things you did like that ..just feel free..me just curious :lol:

That's funny. I see it as the other way around. The timings of my posts are all consistent throughout the night :
Taipei 1730
Macau 2051
- you post
Chengdu 0021
Vancouver 0033
- you post
Mumbai 0110
Hong Kong 0137
- you post
Guangzhou 0153
- you post

None of the information I posted has been duplicated in the other WDN sections, whereas you have duplicated items. I'm more curious what is your rationale for posting, and why you are posting after me instead.

That's really funny. me posting after you?? come on! it will happen again and again WHEN I posted before ...Don't you think ;) me think unbelievable that one such moderator posting after me.
btw..no need to do such thing anymore coz it looks not natural posting...

I've got all the facts, and I've provided some of it above, with plenty more available. We can take this offline with the mod team in the WDN section. I can make a very strong case about your post duplication as well since these all tie together.

Well..case closed! the same project should not be cross-posted into a generic project thread if there already is a dedicated thread and do not do such thing that post after one another...let everyting is going like natural.
