HOK Ripple Arena

HOK Ripple Arena is a visualization study for a large event venue in Riyadh, near the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center. Designed by HOK, the architectural idea takes its cue from the way wind moves loose sand into ripples and dunes. Our role was to translate that concept into a clear sense of scale, movement and atmosphere under a very short deadline. The work belongs to an earlier pre-generative-AI period of the studio, when this kind of rapid large-scale image making relied entirely on conventional CGI workflows.
