设计特色：

项目 - 坐落在利雅得附近的沙漠边缘，迪里耶未来艺术中心作为一个开创性的文化地标，巧妙地将建筑创新与内志地区丰富的历史纹理编织在一起。由意大利建筑事务所 Schiattarella Associati 设计，这座12000平方米的综合体是海湾地区首个专门致力于数字艺术的博物馆，体现了沙特阿拉伯文化转型的雄心勃勃的2030愿景。

这不仅仅是一座博物馆，更是当代设计与古老景观之间的复杂对话。毗邻图赖夫古城世界文化遗产地，该建筑打破了传统博物馆的类型学。它不是一个紧凑的结构，而是展开为一系列细长的体量，沿哈尼法谷水平延伸，创造出一种动态的空间交错，呼应了该地区传统建筑原则。

建筑师的愿景在其方法上是激进的：创造一个看似从大地生长而出的建筑。"我们希望建筑能给人一种仿佛从地面生长出来的感觉，"设计团队解释道。这种理念转化为一种尊重并回应其环境的设计，通过狭窄的冷却通道和精心考虑的体量，重新连接城市和农业区。

可持续性是该项目DNA的内在部分。通过对本地材料的智能运用和被动设计策略，该中心实现了零废弃。利用当地石材、生土和石灰，建筑在材料上与场地建立了强大的连续性。诸如地热制冷和雨水回收等创新功能，展示了超越美学的环境管理承诺。

室内同样引人入胜。设计团队精心打造了融合本地物质性与当代功能性的空间。从现代诠释的传统木制花窗，到浸泡在精心编排自然光中的地下实验室，艺术中心成为艺术探索和文化创新的画布。

作为沙特阿拉伯文化复兴的开创性项目，迪里耶未来艺术中心不仅仅是一座建筑——它是一个宣言。它挑战全球建筑同质化，相反，它庆祝场所、传统和前瞻性设计的独特潜能。

团队 – 成立于1970年，Schiattarella Associati已成为一家突破传统设计范式的开创性建筑事务所。总部位于罗马，该公司始终挑战建筑学的传统观念，探索几何精确性与空间随机性之间的深刻关系，建立了一种独特的设计理念，将建筑的虚空视为根本的设计元素。

由阿梅迪奥、安德烈亚和保拉·斯齐亚塔雷拉这三位富有远见的建筑师领导，该事务所以其实验性方法而闻名，每个项目都被转化为严谨的建筑探索。他们的方法巧妙地整合了复杂的几何原则和动态空间配置，创造出与其环境景观密切互动的空间。

凭借横跨欧洲和中东的丰富作品集，Schiattarella Associati在创新文化和公共空间设计方面建立了卓越声誉。该事务所在韩国的国际项目经验，以及近期在沙特阿拉伯的开创性工作，展示了他们将本地建筑语汇转化为当代设计语言的能力。

他们最近的迪里耶未来艺术中心完美体现了他们的设计理念：一个从沙漠语境中有机生长的项目，挑战全球建筑同质化，同时庆祝场地特定的建筑表达。通过持续突破学科边界，Schiattarella Associati不断重新定义21世纪的建筑话语。

Project - Nestled on the desert's edge near Riyadh, the Diriyah Art Futures Center emerges as a groundbreaking cultural landmark that seamlessly weaves architectural innovation with the rich historical fabric of the Nejd region. Designed by Italian architectural firm Schiattarella Associati, this 12,000-square-meter complex stands as the Gulf's first museum dedicated to digital arts, embodying Saudi Arabia's ambitious 2030 Vision of cultural transformation.

More than just a museum, the center is a sophisticated dialogue between contemporary design and ancient landscape. Strategically positioned adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Diriyah's historic city, the building defies conventional museum typologies. Instead of a compact structure, it unfolds as a series of elongated volumes that horizontally extend across the Hanifa Valley, creating a dynamic interplay of spaces that echo the region's traditional architectural principles.

The architects' vision is radical in its approach: to create a building that appears to grow organically from the earth itself. "We wanted the architecture to feel like it emerged from the ground," explains Amedeo Schiattarella. This philosophy translates into a design that respects and responds to its context, with narrow, cooling passages and carefully considered volumes that reconnect urban and agricultural zones.

Sustainability is intrinsic to the project's DNA. The center achieves zero waste through intelligent use of local materials and passive design strategies. Utilizing local stones, raw earth, and lime, the building establishes a powerful material continuity with its site. Innovative features like geothermal cooling and rainwater recycling demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship that goes beyond mere aesthetics.

The interior is equally compelling. Paola Schiattarella has crafted spaces that blend local materiality with contemporary functionality. From modern interpretations of traditional mashrabiya wooden screens to underground laboratories bathed in carefully choreographed natural light, the center becomes a canvas for artistic exploration and cultural innovation.

As a pioneering project under Saudi Arabia's cultural renaissance, the Diriyah Art Futures Center is not just a building—it's a statement. It challenges global architectural homogenization, celebrating instead the unique potential of place, tradition, and forward-thinking design.

Design Team - Founded in 1970, Schiattarella Associati has emerged as a groundbreaking architectural practice that transcends conventional design paradigms. Headquartered in Rome, the firm has consistently challenged architectural orthodoxies by exploring the profound relationship between geometric precision and spatial randomness, establishing a unique design philosophy that views architectural voids as fundamental design elements.

Led by the visionary trio Amedeo, Andrea, and Paola Schiattarella, the practice has distinguished itself through an experimental approach that transforms each project into a rigorous architectural investigation. Their methodology seamlessly integrates complex geometric principles with dynamic spatial configurations, creating environments that dialogue intimately with their contextual landscapes.

With a robust portfolio spanning Europe and the Middle East, Schiattarella Associati has developed a reputation for innovative cultural and public space interventions. The firm's international project experience—including significant commissions in South Korea and recent groundbreaking work in Saudi Arabia—demonstrates their ability to translate local architectural vernaculars into contemporary design languages.

Their recent Diriyah Art Futures Center exemplifies their design ethos: a project that emerges organically from its desert context, challenging global architectural homogenization while celebrating site-specific architectural expression. By consistently pushing disciplinary boundaries, Schiattarella Associati continues to redefine architectural discourse in the 21st century.
