AlUla, UNESCO Inaugurate 'Deep Surfaces' Exhibition in Venice
In collaboration with UNESCO, the Royal Commission for AlUla has inaugurated the 'Deep Surfaces: Architecture to Enhance the Visitor Experience of UNESCO Sites' exhibition in Venice, Italy, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
As part of the Venice Biennale Architecture 2025, the exhibition will run until November 23, at Palazzo Zorzi in Venice.
The exhibition features more than 50 projects located in UNESCO-designated sites, such as World Heritage Sites, Biosphere Reserves, and Global Geoparks.
Promisingly, the event represents a valuable platform for visitors to explore the role of architecture in boosting visitor experiences, protecting cultural heritage and connecting narratives to people and place.
Furthermore, the exhibition offers glimpses into the role of architecture in supporting local economies and promoting social inclusion.
In response to complex contemporary challenges, the exhibition also promotes the role of these sites as learning spaces for sustainable development and global citizenship.
Interestingly, the event will also highlight the ancient city of Hegra in AlUla as the first Saudi site inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
The exhibition also showcases various initiatives designed to encourage public engagement and preserving the site.
As part of a broader partnership for heritage preservation and sustainable development, the occasion highlights the joint efforts of the Royal Commission for AlUla and UNESCO to establish a reference model for best practices.
