KAPSARC (King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre) exposes a striking exposition on tectonic oeuvres designed by @zahahadidarchitects.
Opened in 2017, the centre’s modular hexagonal prismatic honeycomb structures use the least amount of material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume. Scoring 70,000m² KAPSARC campus combines five buildings: The Energy Knowledge Centre; the Energy Computer Centre; a Conference Centre with exhibition hall and 300-seat auditorium; a Research Library with archives for 100,000 volumes; and the Musalla, an inspirational abode for prayer within the campus.
