Architectural studio Designlab Experience (DLE) took over a 6,000-square-metre helipad in Diriyah, for a one-night-only celebration for Saudi Arabia’s founding day.
The project, named Bedayat (or Beginning/Inception) hosted 1,500 guests on February 21, combining storytelling and performances, with lighting from over 1,000 LEDs and 36 projectors providing a 360-degree synchronised visual experience depicting scenes celebrating the origins and future of the Saudi Kingdom on the ceiling.
The structure was made from a steel and textile framework that mirrored the floor plan, with four arches and a central elliptical ring 11 m (36 ft) above the stage area. Weaved PVC fabric was used to cover it all.
