The King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSRC) is a non-profit organization based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, committed to investigating economics and technology across various energy platforms. The modular structure, designed by Zaha Hadid architects, is a living, organic plan in which building expansions are permitted to expand and multiply like cells without compromising the project's visual integrity. Mapei, the no.1 building products manufacturer in UAE was roped in to be a part of this project with their highly efficient products.
Composed of a network of three-dimensional six-sided cells, the project is based on the concept of connectivity. The center emerges above the arid terrain as a cluster of crystalline formations that change in reaction to the environment. The design's spatial programme guarantees that each component is appropriate for the role it fulfils. The exterior's shell-like facades hide the porous interior, which has covered courtyards that let natural light in.
Mapei, the No. 1 building products manufacturer in UAE was chosen to help with waterproofing solutions for the application of the wet areas & bathrooms using their best services.
