LAB 1 "WHO WILL REINVENT THE SKYSCRAPER?" took place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh on October 30, 2024, during the 8th Edition of Future Investment Initiative. #fII8
The iconic skyscraper, once a symbol of urban progress, is being challenged by a growing movement toward low-rise, sustainable, and people-centric urban design. According to Planetizen, there is a growing emphasis on repurposing existing structures rather than building new skyscrapers in 2024. Will innovative architects and visionary developers embrace this shift to reimagine the skyscraper for the 21st century, or will the allure of verticality endure?
