The Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites (RCMC) officially launched the “Makkah and Holy Sites Architecture” initiative on Sunday, aimed at preserving and celebrating Makkah’s rich architectural heritage and sacred landmarks.
The commission affirmed that Makkah’s architectural identity is rooted in three principal sources: the second Saudi expansion of the Grand Mosque, which serves as a central architectural reference; the city’s natural landscapes; and its traditional architectural heritage.
The initiative seeks to enhance the urban landscape in a sustainable and balanced manner by utilizing local materials that reflect Makkah’s natural environment, while providing diverse construction alternatives that promote architectural harmony.
