Early master planning for the King Abdulaziz Center for Knowledge and Culture included facilitating several key discussions on how the revolutionary center – with a goal of providing truly world class opportunities to engage with the arts, history and literature – would operate. This included helping to formulate the mission of the institution, forecast educational programming and operations, and review architectural approaches.
