About the Book
This thesis aims to explore a fusion of Saudi Arabia’s architectural heritage with contemporary art in the old town of Jeddah (Al-Balad). To be specific, the modern society in Jeddah seems to have forgotten about its architectural heritage and its importance as a traditional form of art. Simultaneously, contemporary sculptures in the region have been vandalized. The condition is further worsened by the fact that attendance at museums is on the decline with many people no longer finding anything interesting there. As such, the above factors provoked the desire to develop a cultural education center in the optimistic hope that Jeddah citizens will learn about their culture and be inspired to make and exhibit work of their own.
