National Museum of Saudi Arabia

A study of Raymond Moriyama's National Museum within Riyadh's King Abdulaziz Historical Center. The drawing reads the curved, sand-dune-inspired profile through a proportional grid, then isolates the limestone surfaces, recessed openings and local landscape elements that connect the contemporary museum to Najdi form and the colors of the surrounding desert.
