RIYADH: The Architecture and Design Commission recently hosted a meeting in its Architecture and Design Cafe series which focused on the King Salman Charter for Architecture and Urbanism and its societal impact.

The event gathered experts to discuss architecture’s role in shaping communities and promoting well-being, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

Held at Al-Zitona Farm in Baha, the event aimed to enrich the community by sharing knowledge, exchanging experiences, and supporting national talents in architecture and design.

Discussions centered on the charter’s societal impact, emphasizing six core values: authenticity, continuity, human-centricity, livability, innovation, and sustainability.

Each value was explored for its relevance to design principles that architects and urban planners should uphold, the SPA added.

The series serves as a platform for knowledge-sharing among academics, specialists, practitioners and students in architecture and design.
