"The Asaan Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, aims to celebrate Saudi heritage using locally sourced materials, marking a significant cultural initiative in Diriyah."
"With its historic At-Turaif district designation, the Asaan Museum will utilize traditional Najdi techniques, creating a modern space that respects and preserves the local architectural fabric."
The Asaan Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, has begun construction in the At-Turaif district of Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. Named after the Arabic term for 'inheritance,' it reflects a commitment to preserving the nation’s heritage. Set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the museum will utilize locally sourced clay mud-bricks, making it Zaha Hadid's inaugural project using adobe construction. With educational programs, exhibitions, and integrated conservation labs, the museum is a vital part of the Diriyah Gate masterplan focused on sustainable development and heritage conservation.
