We are pleased to announce that our team, led by Dewan Architects + Engineers, received an Honorable Mention for the proposal for the Hadith Narrators Museum, located in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.

The ideas competition, organized by the Madinah Region Development Authority MDA, is part of a long-term development vision for the future of the city, which aims to achieve a balance between physical, social, economic and spiritual factors.

UMAYA’s narrative developed for this project was based on three key notions; Light as Form, Light as Function and Light as Art, aimed at developing a multi-dimensional and experiential lighting scheme.
