The RIBA Middle East Awards are presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects. They rank among the most prestigious international architecture prizes and honor projects that demonstrate outstanding architectural quality, innovation, and social relevance in the Middle East.
With King Salman Park, the former airport site in Riyadh is being transformed into a 16.7 km² green oasis in the middle of the desert. Focusing on climate-resilient planting, sustainable water management, and revitalized soils, the project will become one of the largest urban parks worldwide. Our nomination in the Future Projects category highlights the global importance of sustainable landscape architecture that unites ecological responsibility with urban quality of life.
The landscape design, master planning, and detailed planning of King Salman Park are being carried out by a joint venture led by Gerber Architekten, together with the engineering partners Buro Happold and Setec.
