"Building the Line as a Three-Dimensional City:” In Conversation with Tarek Qaddumi, Executive Director of The Line Design of NEOM

In early 2021, Saudi Arabia unveiled the Line, a 170-kilometer-long linear city, part of the NEOM project. NEOM has since expanded with proposals for the region, including a ski destination set to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games, a floating port city at Oxagon, and cliffside hotels at Leyja. However, the Line continues to be one of the most debated of the proposals due to its scale and unprecedented design. According to the official releases, the city would measure 170 kilometers in length, 200 meters in width, and 500 meters in height, making it the 12th highest skyscraper in the world. In its final phase, it is expected to welcome 9 million residents, nearing the size of London or New York’s five boroughs.

On October 23, 2023, during the closing of the Line Exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ArchDaily’s Editor in Chief, Christele Harrouk spoke to Tarek Qaddumi, Executive Director of The Line Design at NEOM, asking questions that probe into both the conceptual aspects and the technicalities of The Line project. In this video interview, the conversation addresses notions such as accessibility, transportation, and sustainability, while also exploring the concept of Cognitive Cities and the intended phasing of the project.

IAAC x ArchDaily Webinar: "Designing for Emergent Futures"

IAAC x ArchDaily - Designing for Emergent Futures.
We are currently experiencing a moment of rapid transition. Moving forward, we will need to design for a different world than what we have known. It is crucial to incorporate new skills to navigate in this hyperlocal and hyper-connected world. By leveraging small-scale interventions, we can approach large-scale challenges and address wicked problems without relying solely on single moonshot solutions. Through an analysis of the current global state of affairs and societal challenges, we encourage the production of platforms, products, and deployments for emergent futures.

The Supporters' Newsletter - Issue #6

In the last three years, we have gone from asking ourselves how we will live together to doubting if we can ever live together.

Despite the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the anticipated urban transformations resulting from it have yet to materialize. Global polarization and geopolitical unrest have us fixated on immediate issues, overshadowing our outlook for the future.

IAAC x ArchDaily Webinar: "Shaping the Future of Architecture"

IAAC x ArchDaily present "Shaping the Future of Architecture".
The digital revolution, along with the unforeseen environmental, economic, and social challenges our world currently confronts, compels architecture to shake off many of the traditions and long-standing foundations upon which it has operated for decades if not centuries. Design, in conjunction with multidisciplinary science, stands as the two powerful tools enabling architecture to undergo revolutionary innovation and thereby generate a positive impact and transformative change in the built environment.

Revit Flow 2.0 : Free Workshop for ArchDaily Supporters

As part of our collaboration with Parametric Architecture, we are happy to announce that all of our ArchDaily Supporters will have free access to a monthly workshop hosted by PAACADEMY.

This month's workshop is the second series of the Revit flow series By Mustapha Nachar. It will focus on intermediate to advanced Revit techniques, including designing using families, BIM techniques, and parametric tools to enhance the design process and produce BIM data schedules. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to create complex building elements and systems using advanced Revit features, and you will be able to produce detailed and accurate construction documentation.

At ArchDaily, we face the constant challenge of staying up-to-date with what's new, while also not forgetting the valuable learnings from the past.

This is why on every journey we take when developing a new article for you, especially on new materials and construction system, we must ask ourselves: Has this been done before? How was it made? What's new in what we are presenting? How do we connect innovation with what we already know, with the essence of architecture?

What will our built environment look like?

As editors and curators of the largest architecture website in the world, our team is in a vantage position that allows us to be exposed firsthand to massive amounts of architectural insights from all over the world and enables us to imagine what the future of our cities might look like.

As our mission is to spread the best information to our readers, we bear the responsibility to keep an eye out for successes and innovations that would one day become benchmarks and tools for a better Urban and Living setting.

Part of our job is to deduce context-specific and recurring patterns that form what we might call trends; that we regularly showcase through our site in various formats.

Here are some indicators as to how to navigate Trends in ArchDaily.

Why our fascination with the new? 

At ArchDaily, we're more than just architects. We're a dynamic team with varied backgrounds, spanning from software and finance to design, journalism, art, accounting, and even insurance! Yet, there's something that connects us all: creativity. And creativity is what we also have in common with you.

That is why by analyzing how to improve the content we generate for you, we often find ourselves asking the question of what we can do to feed your (and our) mind to foster creativity.

Highly creative people usually have profound specialized knowledge and have the capability of divergent thinking. That’s why our stream is a set of periodic new, fresh, and diverse projects and content, where you don’t know what comes next.

That’s why we are always fascinated with the new.
