Saudi Arabia has begun construction on a massive cube-shaped attraction called the Mukaab in Riyadh. Set to be the world’s largest structure, the Mukaab will anchor the New Murabba development project, a major addition to Riyadh’s downtown, which was launched last year. This enormous building will measure 400 meters on each side—large enough to fit 20 Empire State Buildings within its walls. According to Michael Dyke, CEO of New Murabba, the Mukaab is designed to be an iconic symbol for Riyadh, featuring the world’s first fully enclosed skyscraper and an immersive dome displaying holographic images. Inspired by traditional Najd architecture, its design consists of overlapping triangular forms. The project has drawn criticism for its resemblance to the Kaaba in Mecca, with some viewing it as potentially controversial. Set to complete its first phase by 2030, New Murabba will eventually house 400,000 people and serve as part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 urban development goals. #mukaab #saudiarabia #trendignow #PakistaniJournal

OLT Approves Redevelopment Of Moriyama-Designed Japanese Cultural Centre The Ontario Land Tribunal has granted critical approvals for the #redevelopment of the JCCC - Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre — a #Toronto landmark at 123 Wynford Drive that some have argued holds not only architectural significance due to its ties to Raymond Moriyama but historical value and should be preserved as is. Nonetheless, plans that come from a #development group made up of Originate Developments, Westdale Properties, and Cameron Stephens call for a pair of #residential towers to be integrated into the the site of the Centre — those came to light in August of 2022, and are for a 48-storey building that would rise over the original building, and a 55-storey building that would overlook the streets closer to Wynford Drive. Designed by Kirkor Architects and Planners.
