Al-Rajhi Bank Proposed Design
I am not sure what is the rate of the accuracy on below information, however, I fetched it out of the Architecture of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill website which is a well respected known architectural and design company.
Al-Rajhi Bank Headquarters is an office complex located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The tower is conceived as four concrete piers shielding an uninterrupted, column-free central office space within. Reminiscent of the ancient monuments of the Middle East, the monolithic concrete piers achieve a unique monumentality, and respond to the harsh desert climate by creating an internalized oasis within the central space.
