The choice of materials carries significant meaning. Warm terracotta and soft sand shades form the outer surface, echoing the local landscape and city life. These colors shift as you move inside, becoming more vibrant and purposeful. This change reflects the nature of learning—gradual, layered, and grounded.

Royal Blue is central to the design. It is not just for decoration. It represents knowledge, depth, and cultural memory. You can see this color in measured accents on patterned rugs and chosen furniture. Each use is intentional, providing contrast and identity within the overall architectural style.

The range of colors inside builds in intensity. Deep blues add formality. Purples introduce energy. Lavenders soften the atmosphere. These shifts are subtle yet distinct, creating areas for rhythm and rest throughout the academic center.

King Salman University is designed not just as a backdrop for education, but as part of its foundation. It serves as a space for knowledge and continuity—where materials and colors are used for expression rather than to impress.

Inspiration and Use of Reference Imagery

Our work draws inspiration from the world around us, including urban environments, digital platforms, social media, and other publication and or accessible sources. We make every reasonable effort to identify and credit original authors and creators where possible. In cases where the original source cannot be determined, this is entirely unintentional. All mood boards and reference imagery are used strictly for internal inspiration to help define the atmosphere, tone, and conceptual direction. We do not intend to replicate, copy, or otherwise infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any author, artist, or creator. Such images are not used for commercial purposes, but solely as non-commercial visual references to guide our creative process.
