Circular economy, AI in architecture take centre stage at Big5 Saudi
Circular economy and artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture along with the industry innovations took centre stage at Big 5 Construct Saudi during its second week drawing visitors from all over the kingdom, said it organisers. For the industry experts, the circular economy in architecture, an important strategy for promoting sustainability in the built environment, was a key focus area. Adopting a circular economy in architecture enables sustainable, adaptable and resource-efficient buildings, emphasized one of the speakers on the closing day of the Architect Leaders Forum Saudi. During the session, Shahira Fahmy, Founder and Principal of Shahira Fahmy Architects stressed that by prioritizing material reuse, circular design and advanced technologies, architects could reduce waste, extend building lifecycles and measure environmental and social impact, ensuring long-term resilience and value. "While industry leaders shared key insights on sustainable architecture, exhibitors showcased innovative solutions shaping Saudi Arabia's built environment," said Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President - Construction, dmg events. "From AI-driven design tools and smart technologies to integrated facilities management and windows, doors and façade solutions, the exhibition floor continues to buzz with activity, reflecting the rising demand for eco-friendly, resource-efficient construction," he stated. As AI in architecture remained a key topic of discussion, one of the panels featuring Mark Ruppert, Director of Architecture + Design at Mawarid Holdings International; Faiyad Peterson, Country Director KSA at Cundall; Tomasz Wozny, Partner & General Manager KSA at Foster + Partners; and Anas Sawalqa, KSA Director at SAY Studio, highlighted how AI could complement both creativity and efficiency while still ensuring that the human element remains central to every design. "We must guide AI to assist us. It should not be left to operate in isolation; it must be trained and practiced," stressed Sawalqa. Fellow panelist Peterson said: "While AI can optimize building efficiency and reduce material waste, we must use it responsibly. Designing with awareness and integrity is key, and AI should amplify this approach," he noted. In addition to the insightful discussions, Big 5 Construct Saudi also featured a wide array of innovative product showcases that are setting new benchmarks for the construction industry. Exhibitors displayed new technologies and solutions aimed at enhancing sustainability, efficiency and performance in the built environment. These products align with the growing demand for resource-efficient, smart and sustainable construction practices, supporting the Kingdom's commitment to Vision 2030. One such exhibitor, at Saudi FM & Clean, co-located with Big 5 Construct Saudi, AlMajal AlArabi Group (MAG) is showcasing its integrated facility management solutions and leadership in the industry. Highlighting projects like the Riyadh Metro and Two Holy Mosques, MAG demonstrates its wide-reaching operations across 13 regions in the Kingdom, reinforcing its commitment to driving excellence in the sector.
