North & Central
Mud-brick walls, painted ceilings, and the geometry of the desert house.
The North & Central region carries the architectural memory of Najd: courtyards open to the sky, triangular merlons cut against the horizon, and Sadu motifs translated into wall, door, and lintel. Works gathered here read the desert as a builder, not as a backdrop.

A study of a single Najdi door and its lintel.
