RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
KAPSARC (King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Centre) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing energy research and policy, promoting global social well-being. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the campus exemplifies a seamless integration of technical excellence and environmental responsibility. It has achieved LEED Platinum certification, making it the first project by ZHA to earn this prestigious recognition.
UAP | Armetal proudly contributed to this landmark project by fabricating and installing 30,000 square meters of 3D-formed aluminum composite cladding supported by galvanized subframes. This work delivered precision-engineered surfaces that reflect the building’s iconic geometry and sustainable intent.
KAPSARC stands as a testament to innovation, collaboration, and craftsmanship—an architectural achievement that harmonizes form, performance, and purpose.
