01 · About

A threshold, not a wall.

The design idea was inspired by the Saudi Alardha, a folk dance that started as one of the war songs, but it was performed at times during celebrations and holidays until it later became a symbol of the Saudi culture.

A living folklore transformed into a contemporary public landmark.
