RIYADH – The Saudi Architecture and Design Commission has launched a registration platform for researchers, experts, and technicians to enrich cultural research and practices across the sector.

The platform offers architecture and design practitioners, based in Saudi Arabia and abroad, an opportunity to highlight their experience and skills, as well as contribute to the development of content by uploading their information and research to the directory. The platform will also facilitate access to various databases and numerous resources, unifying research efforts across the field.

Through the platform, the Commission will further the ambitions of the architecture and design community by empowering experts in the sector, classifying researchers and experts by specialization, and utilizing these skills to enhance sector-related initiatives.

The Architecture and Design Commission, one of 11 commissions under the Ministry of Culture, is responsible for regulating and overseeing the development of the sector, in line with the National Culture Strategy which is supported by Vision 2030.

Researchers, experts, and technicians in the architecture and design fields are invited to register on the platform through the following link: https://surveys.moc.gov.sa/ried/#.
