Second Place Winner

Rethinking Belonging: A Community Library for Urban Dialogue

Design by

Abdelaziz Kamal

Juror’s Comment:
A compelling urban concept that translates the social values of Historic Jeddah into a contemporary civic environment. The interconnected public spaces, waterfront relationship, and diverse learning facilities reinforce the library's role as a community anchor.

Work on:
The extensive glazed façades and exposed public spaces require a more convincing response to Jeddah's hot climate. Greater detail on circulation, accessibility, structural feasibility, and environmental performance would strengthen the proposal.
