Background:
Diriyah is the capital of the1st Saudi State in 1745. Diriyah is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins of the old city of Diriyah lay on either side of the narrow valley known as Wadi Hanifa. The Destruction of Diriyah took place in late 1818 after 5 months siege by the Ottaman forces.
Iconic Symbol:
Al-Dir'iya is viewed as an important national symbol in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It had emerged as the capital of the new First Saudi State, establishment of which constitutes the turning point in the history of the Arabian Peninsula.
Al Bujiri:
It Is a unique development inspired by the surrounding natural environment and vast palm plantations. It overlooks the eastern edge of Wadi Hanifah, opposite the historic Al-Turaif neighborhood, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. it is considered the gateway to historic Diriyah. The cultural and architectural values of this
district have made it eligible to take its place among the top heritage towns in the world. Al Bujiri currently hosts events and few F & B venues. The Diriyah Gate General Authority has plans to replace the current tenants and improve the overall experience of Al Bujiri visitors.
Client quote:
“We would like to present the Diriyah Gate General Authority with a creative proposal to develop and improve the visitors experience and journy at Al Bujairi. We will concentrate on retail, F&B, Culture and arts. The structure will remain the same but we may work with and around them to improve the facade and overall look. We will add structures that are temporary and do not abstract the look and feel of the current development. The reason for having these international events is to bring Diriyah on the map.”

Concord's new Clock tower/case on Main St. Originally the clock was in the tower of the Trade building -- purchased in 1872 through public subscription. The bell, made in England, strikes hourly. After a period of neglect, in 1998 the clock was restored and reinstalled/glass-encased in this well-designed tower, for the people of Concord. Excellent architectural design of this short tower is in best matching materials including copper, brick and Concord granite. Time-indexing. It sets a high standard for a largely industrial/commercial/political town.

Toyota / Sustainable Retailing Exterior Study - 2010 / 2011
Space Projects were appointed by Toyota GB Plc to formulate a blueprint for their “Sustainable Retail Centres ‘” throughout the U.K.
Being current brand guardians for Toyota GB Plc and having completed a successful roll out programme for 190 + sites, Space Projects are ideally placed to identify ‘eco technologies’ that will compliment and enhance the operational demands of Toyota Centres.
The study looked at every component and operation of a typical Toyota Centre to identify opportunities to minimize environmental impact through reducing energy use, generating energy, saving water, rainwater harvesting, recycling.
In tandem with environmental benefits, the study demonstrated commercial benefits via life cycle cost savings for the Retail Centres.
The realization of these works will be translated into Toyota’s new showrooms during the in the first half of 2011.
Toyota Enfield is the manifestation, realisation and result of our study work.

The King's Arms public house is located in a prominent position on the corner of Parks Road and Holywell Street, opposite the New Bodleian Library building. Also nearby are Broad Street and the Clarendon Building, part of Oxford University. A popular local myth has it that the KA has the highest IQ per square foot of any pub or bar in the world. The pub is owned by Wadham College, which is located just to the north.
The site was originally occupied by buildings erected by Augustinian friars in 1268. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540, the land passed to the City of Oxford.
The lease book of Oxford Council in 1607 stated "Thomas Franklyn has licence to set up an inn with the sign of the King's Arms". Franklyn's choice of the name refers to King James I (reigned 1603–1625), who was involved with Wadham College, immediately to the north. It opened on 18 September 1607.
In the 17th century, the King's Arms was a popular location for plays In the early 18th century, the south side and rear were rebuilt. The west frontage was added in the late 18th century. The King's Arms was variously a coaching inn (by 1771) and a hotel during its history.

Tower III is a 16-story, 425,000 square-foot addition, sited perpendicularly to the Colonnade axis, connecting with the Colonnade’s north wall. The atrium entry is fronted by a landscaped arrival court to provide a ceremonial entrance in the northeast quadrant of the site. On-site vehicular traffic is allowed to pass through a porte cochere carved into the rounded end of Tower III, a theme carried forward from Towers I and II. The lease space areas are configured to be typical speculative office spaces, available for tenant finish-out.
The grey granite exterior cladding is carried into the Colonnade Atrium Space. The space connects the three office towers and parking garage, and provides common retail, banking and conference center functions for the complex.

My Dutch-built childhood home and my parochial school St Frances de Chantal in the background in Boro Park Brooklyn, NY USA. It was built in 1855 and was razed in 1986. I live in an apartment now and still feel boxed in as if living IN a camera obscura. A pinhole camera gives one the very weird sensation of peeping out of a tiny box, no? A lens camera doesn't normally give that effect.
