King Abdullah Financial District Conference Center
King Abdullah Financial District Conference Center, with a total gross area of approximately 125,000m2, consists of auditorium, conference and banquet facilities, a monorail station, and parking. These functions are housed within four substructure and three superstructure levels and enclosed in a multifaceted roof with a unique shape and geometry. The primary feature of the building is this multifaceted, monolithic, independent Mega-Roof structure that covers all the program spaces housed within the building. The architectural, structural and environmental engineering teams collaborated closely to devise a parametric design and analysis methodology to integrate the multiple parameters controlling the design of the roof. Further, the extremely aggressive design and construction schedule was achieved by assimilating the work of the design, fabrication and construction teams into a seamless process incorporating digital exchange of information.
