Introduction

DaeWha Kang Design has undertaken a full architectural transformation of this iconic Zaha Hadid building into a flagship contemporary arts museum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The design transformed a former library building into a fully operational museum, including four floors of permanent galleries, a temporary exhibition space, art handling, art logistics, and event spaces.

The museum, currently confidential, will launch in early 2026.
