The Museum of the Built 
Environment is one of
FXFoWLE’s six active 

projects in the King Abdullah
Financial district, a 55 
million-square-foot
development in riyadh. 
resembling a chiseled rock and partly clad in prismatic laminated glass
panels, the 340,000-square-foot museum is sited
on a large plaza bisected by a sunken pedestrian
parkway. The building will house galleries, a
150-seat auditorium, and a restaurant, in addition
to a monorail station and a network of skywalks.
Work has begun, with completion slated for 2012.
