Project Idea and Context:
"Prosperity Park" is a cultural and recreational hub designed to enhance the quality of life in the Al-Qassim region. It reflects the aspirations of a modern society that seeks vibrant urban environments where cultural, social, and recreational needs are met in an inclusive setting. The core idea of the project revolves around reimagining public space as an interactive and inspiring environment, especially in light of modern lifestyle shifts.
The Problem Addressed:
Amid increasing digital dependence and social detachment, there is a pressing need to create community spaces that blend culture, entertainment, and wellness. This project addresses the lack of attractive and multifunctional public areas in the region—spaces that engage various demographics in a safe, contemporary, and inspiring atmosphere.
Design Inspiration:
The architectural language is inspired by natural geometric forms (like a leaf), transformed into distinctive building masses within a unified and open layout. The design expresses modernity through innovative facades and the use of sustainable materials, creating a unique visual identity.
Main Goal:
To establish a cultural and social destination that acts as a dynamic urban attraction, promoting healthy living, social interaction, and redefining entertainment in a conservative environment by integrating culture and public services into a vibrant urban fabric.
