After more than a decade and a half of publishing, Brownbook’s 70th edition explores the city’s evolving culture, art, and architectural landscape. We witness the convergence of tradition and technology shaping its new future.
Among those contributing are Sara Alissa and Nojoud Al-Sudairi, safeguarding Riyadh’s heritage amidst rapid urban growth. We also speak to Safeya Binzagr, the master of Saudi art, a trailblazing painter capturing the Kingdom’s spirit for half a century.
Traditional, contemporary, and modernist architectural landmarks across the city are reshaping its character, a theme explored in this issue, along with a special booklet focused on its modern architectural history.
