NEOM, the revolutionary city of the future
being established in northwestern Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of THE
LINE Experience, the third edition of the exhibition that will showcase NEOM’s
futuristic city’s innovative urban designs in the Kingdom’s capital.
Set to be hosted at the Diriyah Biennale Foundation for
Contemporary Art at Diriyah’s JAX district, the exhibition will welcome guests
over a period of six months between November 6, 2022 and April 29, 2023.
This unique edition of THE LINE designs exhibition will offer
a far more enriching and engaging experience that takes visitors on an
unparalleled journey, enabling them to learn first-hand about the urban
planning and architectural features that will redefine livability in THE LINE,
as well as receive an in-depth view of NEOM’s sectors and its surrounding
natural landscapes where people and technology will come together in harmony
with nature.
The exhibition will be open from Sunday to Wednesday: 9:00 am
to 11:00 pm; Thursday and Saturday: 9:00 am to 12:00 midnight and Friday: 3:00
pm to 12:00 midnight. Attendees have the option to avail guided tours that will
be delivered in both Arabic and English to allow them to explore THE LINE’s
spectacular designs in detail. Visitors can register and receive their free
tickets for the exhibition via THE LINE website https://theline.halayalla.com/en-us
Unlike traditional cities, THE LINE will run on 100 percent
renewable energy and prioritize health and well-being over transportation and
infrastructure. The designs provide the most important characteristics of the
city, which is 200 meters wide, 170 kilometers long and rises 500 meters above
sea level. Covering an area of 34 square kilometers, THE LINE’s small footprint
will contribute to conserving 95 percent of NEOM’s land and supporting
environmental sustainability. The linear city will ultimately be home to nine
million residents.
THE LINE design is based on a new concept of ‘Zero Gravity
Urbanism’ which is the idea of layering city functions vertically while
enabling inhabitants to move seamlessly in the city in three directions – up,
down and across. This concept facilitates mobility throughout the city,
offering quick access to offices, schools, parks and residential facilities.
THE LINE’s unique modular design ensures that all facilities and amenities can
be accessed within a five-minute walk. Source: https://saudigazette.com.sa
