King Abdullah Petroleum Studies & Research Centre
KAPSARC, Riyadh Building Development, Saudi Arabian Architecture, Middle East
King Abdullah Petroleum Studies & Research Centre in Riyadh
5 Dec 2020
KAPSARC, Saudi Arabia
Design: ZHA
Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
KAPSARC (King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre) is a non-profit institution for independent research into policies that contribute to the most effective use of energy to provide social wellbeing across the globe.
KAPSARC develops policies and economic frameworks that reduce the environmental impact and overall costs of energy supply and enable practical technology-based solutions to use energy more efficiently.Collaborating with international research centres, public policy organisations, worldwide government institutions and global industry, KAPSARC brings together leading experts from around the world to tackle energy challenges; freely sharing its knowledge, insights and analytical frameworks.
The 70,000 sqm KAPSARC campus incorporates five buildings: the Energy Knowledge Centre; the Energy Computer Centre; a Conference Centre with exhibition hall and 300-seat auditorium; a Research Library with archives for 100,000 volumes; and the Musalla, an inspirational place for prayer within the campus.
KAPSARC’s design has solid technical and environmental considerations at its heart, drawing the five elements of the campus into a unified whole.
ZHA’s first project to be awarded LEED Platinum certification by the US Green Building Council, the centre is designed in response to the environmental conditions of the Riyadh Plateau to minimise energy and resource consumption.
The primary organising strategy of the design is a cellular, partially modular system that integrates different departmental buildings as a single ensemble with interconnecting public spaces.
Hexagonal prismatic honeycomb structures use the least material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume. This structural and organisational principle determined KAPSARC’s composition as an amalgamation of crystalline forms that emerges from the desert landscape, evolving to best respond to the environmental conditions and internal programme requirements. The honeycomb grid is compressed towards its central axis as an extension of the natural wadi that runs to the west.
The modular design generates consistent organisational, spatial and structural strategies that drive all elements of the plan. The six sides of the hexagonal cells also offer greater opportunities for increased connectivity when compared to rectangular cells with only four sides.
KAPSARC’s five buildings differ in size and organisation to best suit their use. Each building is divided into its component functions and can be adapted to respond to changes in requirements or working methods. Additional cells can readily be introduced by extending KAPSARC’s honeycomb grid for future expansion of the research campus.
The buildings of the campus surround a large public courtyard shaded by canopies supported from a forest of crafted steel columns. Presenting a solid, protecting shell to the harsh sunlight from the south, the KAPSARC campus opens to north and west; encouraging prevailing winds from the north to cool the courtyard during temperate months and facilitating connections with any future expansion of the campus to the north, as well as creating connections with the researcher’s residential community to the west.
Privileging the pedestrian, each of the buildings within the campus is entered through this central public courtyard that also serves as a meeting space and link between buildings during temperate seasons. An underground link also connects the main buildings on the campus for use at the hottest times of the year.
With its strong, protective shell on the exterior that shields from the extremes in weather, KAPSARC’s architecture is porous within. Specific hexagonal cells strategically located within each building are left open to create a series of sheltered courtyards that bring softly-controlled daylight into the interior.
Orientated for the sun and wind conditions, the crystalline forms of the prismatic architectural cells gain in height towards the south, west, and east to shield internal spaces from direct sunlight, while the courtyards within are oriented to the north and northwest to bring indirect sunlight into the spaces below.
‘Wind-catchers’ integrated within the roof profiles on the southern sides of each courtyard catch the prevailing winds from the north, cooling each courtyard.
KAPSARC’s architecture promotes transparency and encourages an active exchange between researchers and visitors. By strategically off-setting floorplates, spatial layering effects are created throughout the centre to provide views to the floors above and below; offering transparency between floors in public areas designed as collective zones for researchers to meet informally and exchange ideas. Secure areas and rooms requiring privacy are located within areas of each building where floorplates overlap.
KAPSARC was awarded LEED Platinum certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) through its application of passive and active solutions including:
A 45% reduction in energy performance (compared to the ASHRAE baseline standards) achieved via KAPSARC’s building massing and orientation, façade optimisation, system selection and the solar PV array located on the roof of the south-facing Conference Centre with a capacity of 5,000MWh/year.
All KAPSARC’s potable water is recycled and reused on site and 100% of irrigation water is from non-potable sources.
40% of KAPSARC’s construction materials have been sourced from within 500 miles, and 30% of materials made with recycled content.
98% of all wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
4,000 tonnes of waste separated and diverted from landfill.KAPSARC has also been named Saudi Arabia’s ‘smartest’ building in the Honeywell Smart Building Awards programme. Based on criteria that include environmental sustainability, safety and productivity, KAPSARC received outstanding scores across all three categories.

#Repost • @aadrl Adaptive Ecologies AADRL 2007-2008 Studio: Theodore Spyropoulos Team: CHIMERA Pierandrea Angius, Alkis Dikaios, Thomas Jacobsen, Carlos Parraga Morphogenetic design strategies enable an understanding of nature through constructs that actively couple singular and collective relationships, ordering the deployment of matter as a product of correlated interactions between the environment and each respective species. Within this natural world of metabolic balance the mangal – the plant community of the mangrove swamp – operates as a model of the social ordering of plants, demonstrating their migration and coevolution. A study of the mangal offers organisational strategies that afford an opportunity to consider population and performance as environmental drivers negotiating a force-deployed system that fosters adaptation and ecology. This research project takes the mangrove–mangal relationship as a model of response in developing a housing proposal for Hudson Yards in lower Manhattan. Computational frameworks are used to integrate a dynamic structuring of bundled aerated roots that iteratively version options for optimising trajectory and path, moving towards a four-dimensional network of emergent organisations. These choreographies of thrust lines are informed as set out trajectories constructing an integrated urban system of ground and vertical housing typologies that extend the existing infrastructure through horizontal to vertical migratory populations of unit distribution. The emergent singular/collective constructs deploy a time-based sequencing of population engaging a model of development that allows unit-to-unit interactions to be understood and governed – in this case, through phyllotactic codification. #aadrl #architecturalassociation #adaptiveecology #spyropoulosdesignlab #theodorespyropoulos #archi_students #superarchitects #next_top_architects #dezeen #archdaily #synarchitecture #fromthearchive https://www.instagram.com/p/CFz1RcyliPd/?igshid=9rnd9xwjr463

U.S. Judge Confirms Citgo Directors Appointed by Venezuelan Congress
The Citgo Petroleum board of directors appointed by Venezuela’s opposition congress chief was confirmed by a U.S. judge on Wednesday, ending a challenge by former directors loyal to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Citgo, the eighth-largest U.S. refiner and the most important foreign asset for Venezuela’s crisis-stricken economy, has been caught up in a political battle as Washington has sought to use it to weaken Maduro’s grip on power.
The order signed by a Delaware Chancery Court judge further diminishes Maduro’s efforts to reclaim control over Houston-based Citgo, a subsidiary of state-run PDVSA. The company this month named a former Citgo executive, Carlos Jorda, as its new chief executive officer, succeeding Maduro-backed appointee Asdrubal Chavez.
Juan Guaido, the chief of Venezuela’s congress who has been recognized by the Trump administration as the South American country’s legitimate leader, in February appointed the new board to Citgo, which is incorporated in Delaware. Guaido’s team wanted to secure control of the business and protect it from legal attempts to seize Venezuelan foreign assets.
Maduro, who says he is the victim of an attempted U.S.-led coup, has accused the opposition of trying to “steal” Citgo.
Earlier this month, Delaware Chancery Court Vice Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick ruled that the opposition-backed directors were legitimately appointed, although she delayed a final order to allow the former directors time to challenge the process.
PDVSA and a lawyer for the former directors did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The former directors could appeal.
Citgo is planning to introduce Jorda to investors on Wednesday, according to company sources.

Business Powerful quake hits Venezuela coast, damage limited
Business Powerful quake hits Venezuela coast, damage limited Business Powerful quake hits Venezuela coast, damage limited http://www.nature-business.com/business-powerful-quake-hits-venezuela-coast-damage-limited/
Business CARACAS (Reuters) – A major earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck Venezuela’s eastern coast, home to largely poor fishing communities, on Tuesday afternoon, shaking buildings as far away as Colombian capital Bogota and knocking power out in parts of Trinidad. But the quake’s depth – 76.5 miles (123 km) below the surface – appeared to have mitigated the damage. Venezuelan officials said there were no immediate reports of injuries and two sources at state oil company PDVSA [PDVSA.UL] told Reuters the OPEC member’s refineries and oil fields were operating normally. PDVSA did not immediately comment. Venezuela is not in a good shape to deal with a natural disaster. It is already wrestling with a crippling economic crisis with medicine running short, hospitals barely able to function and some severe shortages of basics such as chicken and milk. The tremor – one of the country’s strongest ever – hit at 5.31 p.m. (2131 GMT). Along Venezuela’s picturesque palm tree-dotted northern coast, residents said the long quake was terrifying and frightened people into dashing into the streets. “I had gotten into bed to watch the news on TV and my bed started to move as if it was made of water,” said Elia Sanchez, a doctor in Cumana, the capital of the eastern state of Sucre that was the closest to the coastal epicenter. “We had to go down nine floors, it felt like it would never end.” Rosymer Rodriguez, also in Cumana, said she could not see any significant damage but that people were still fearful. “There are still people in the street. There are people packing bags in case there are aftershocks,” said Rodriguez. Damage in Caracas was limited, but the quake did tilt the top five floors of an abandoned 45-story skyscraper known as the ‘Tower of David’, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said. The tower, originally intended to be a bank center but abandoned since 1994 and later occupied by squatters for years, dominates Caracas’ skyline. It features in the U.S. television spy drama “Homeland”. Pictures after the quake showed the building’s top floors, which are unfinished, leaning sideways. Structural damage is seen on the top five floors of an abandoned 45-storey skyscraper known as the “Tower of David” after an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela August 21, 2018.

The Information Ministry did not respond to a request for comment for additional information. ANDES, CARIBBEAN HIT The quake was felt in capital Caracas, neighboring Colombia and nearby island nations like Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia, to the west and north. In Trinidad and Tobago, there were initial reports of some cracks to buildings, cars damaged when concrete debris fell on them, and loss of electricity. Traffic jams formed on highways in Port of Spain, but there were no immediate reports of casualties there either. Colombia’s government said the country was unharmed too, although workers dashed out of high-rise blocks in the mountainous capital Bogota. “It was a moment of panic, we thought the worst,” said Jimena Valencia, a 29-year-old administrator in the north of Bogota. The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Center canceled an earlier warning of a possible tsunami along the coast near the epicenter, some 190 kilometers (118 miles) from Cumana. United States Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Turner said the quake’s depth would have dampened some of the shaking. “A 7.3 magnitude quake is going to cause some damage, particularly as in this area, structures are vulnerable. The Earth is able to absorb some of the energy, but a 7.3 quake produces a lot of energy,” she said by telephone.

Business CARACAS (Reuters) – A major earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck Venezuela’s eastern coast, home to largely poor fishing communities, on Tuesday afternoon, shaking buildings as far away as Colombian capital Bogota and knocking power out in parts of Trinidad. But the quake’s depth – 76.5 miles (123 km) below the surface – appeared to have mitigated the damage. Venezuelan officials said there were no immediate reports of injuries and two sources at state oil company PDVSA [PDVSA.UL] told Reuters the OPEC member’s refineries and oil fields were operating normally. PDVSA did not immediately comment. Venezuela is not in a good shape to deal with a natural disaster. It is already wrestling with a crippling economic crisis with medicine running short, hospitals barely able to function and some severe shortages of basics such as chicken and milk. The tremor – one of the country’s strongest ever – hit at 5.31 p.m. (2131 GMT). Along Venezuela’s picturesque palm tree-dotted northern coast, residents said the long quake was terrifying and frightened people into dashing into the streets. “I had gotten into bed to watch the news on TV and my bed started to move as if it was made of water,” said Elia Sanchez, a doctor in Cumana, the capital of the eastern state of Sucre that was the closest to the coastal epicenter. “We had to go down nine floors, it felt like it would never end.” Rosymer Rodriguez, also in Cumana, said she could not see any significant damage but that people were still fearful. “There are still people in the street. There are people packing bags in case there are aftershocks,” said Rodriguez. Damage in Caracas was limited, but the quake did tilt the top five floors of an abandoned 45-story skyscraper known as the ‘Tower of David’, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said. The tower, originally intended to be a bank center but abandoned since 1994 and later occupied by squatters for years, dominates Caracas’ skyline. It features in the U.S. television spy drama “Homeland”. Pictures after the quake showed the building’s top floors, which are unfinished, leaning sideways.
