About Next Hub Primarna funkcija: Večnamenski kompleks

Besedilo knjige: Next Hub je večnamenski kompleks v Džedi v Savdski Arabiji, ki združuje gostinstvo, upravo, zabavo, trgovino, prehrano in pijačo ter rekreacijske cone. Kompozicija raziskuje razmerje med polnim in praznim. Volumni stavb obdajajo osrednji odprti trg, ki spominja na tradicionalne trge in ustvarja mestno izkušnjo s socialno interakcijo. Notranja dvorišča prinašajo naravno prezračevanje in dnevno svetlobo v hotelske in upravne stavbe. Zaključne obdelave vključujejo brušen travertin, črno jeklo in dvojno zasteklitev.
