Folding Structures: A Creative Journey by Mujassam Watan Participants

As part of the knowledge program accompanying the seventh edition of the Mujassam Watan Competition, an innovative workshop titled “Folding Structures” was held in collaboration with the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra).

Spanning two days, the workshop brought together a select group of competition participants on a unique journey that blended art, engineering, and architectural experimentation. It offered a live model of creativity, where ideas were transformed into tangible prototypes within an environment that encouraged thinking beyond conventional boundaries.

This intellectual engagement reflects Mujassam Watan’s commitment to enriching the participants’ experience beyond the competition itself—through supportive programs that enhance design and conceptual awareness, and empower the new generation of creatives to craft a more conscious and innovative visual language.
