Background The rapid growth in population and subsequent urban expansion of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia in the last two decades, together with a booming economy, has created a major challenge for the city to revitalize the urban landscape through art and cultural development. In order to meet this challenge, a broad set of policies and actions have been proposed through launching 'Riyadh Art' as part of Riyadh's Four Grand Projects launched by the Custodian of Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz in March 2019, under supervision of the Committee of Grand Projects chaired by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Prime Minister and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Royal Commission for the City of Riyadh (RCRC) ,with an aim to transform the city of Riyadh into an open gallery mixing the traditional with the contemporary. The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) is committed to realizing Riyadh Art by encouraging excellence in the design of artistic interventions, public buildings, parks, streets, and infrastructure. RCRC recognizes that public art, along with architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, environmental-based design, and historic preservation are some of the tools the city can use to face this challenge. Riyadh Art will engage aspects of Riyadh’s landscape, urban form, history and culture that make the city distinct and special among the world capitals. It will also aim to reflect Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan and create strong, meaningful connections between the citizens of Riyadh, their community, and civic life. Riyadh Art’s vast scope has been divided into a group of 10 programs plus 1 annual festival. Additionally, 1 annual international sculpture exhibition, Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium. For more information: http://www.riyadhart.sa 1.2. Scope of Work Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium (TISS) will attract a group of 20 Sculptors from around the world coming together to produce a series of permanent public artworks. The entire process will be open and accessible to the public, as a live-sculpture-making event in a controlled setting. Different events will be scheduled in parallel to the creative process, such as visits, talks and an opening ceremony (the “Gala”). The artwork will be on view in the same location for 5 days, post-the-end of the Symposium. After the event, the artworks will be relocated permanently and installed in public settings such as parks and squares for the public to see and enjoy. The Aim: To contribute to the Riyadh Art vision and create cultural platforms where Saudi Artists meet their counterparts from different parts of the world to promote artistic dialogue that contributes to the enrichment of the cultural scene in the Kingdom. Page 3 of 9 The Symposium will take place from 10th November to 2nd December 2021 and the exhibition will take place from 2nd to 6th December 2021 at JAX District, Al Diriyah. The attendance of the Artists to the opening of the exhibition on the 2nd December is required. 1.3. Key Definitions and Teams Symposium Management Team – a dedicated team that are responsible to manage the planning and delivery of Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium. Service Provider - an agency will be appointed to plan, operate and deliver Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium under the supervision of the Symposium Management Team. Artists – creative practitioners who will be contracted by the service provider who will be responsible for providing all requirements for the Artists including the planning and delivery of the project. The service provider will be responsible for issuing the Artist honorarium, prize money, arranging and paying for travel and accommodation. Contractual Arrangements - Whilst the contractual arrangement for the project will be between the Artist and service provider, the Artist will assign RCRC the right to own the sculpture and to permanently display it in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 1.4. Theme The curatorial theme for TISS 2021 will be “The Poetics of Space”. The whole universe is made from matter and emptiness. There is a presence of the absolute private spaces for all that lives and harmonizes within it. These precise distances in the universe between the physical masses reveal the poetic mystery of nature. A beautiful space is one that has spatial dimensions that implies poetry, and where material objects attain their aesthetic in balance with the space in which they exist. Places cannot exist without their own emptiness, nor does it survive, without the presence of the absolute. The vastness of space gives rise to contemplation and imagination, and the lack of space burdens the soul and mind. Nature, architecture and sculptures are judged by the coexistence of these elements with their space. Riyadh city has spaces which are open and wide. The modern architecture works in harmony with the open space. Sculpting is nothing but a controversial relationship between mass and space. A mesmerizing sculpture is the one that creates its own space, while being at its full harmony with the public realm and sphere. From the poetics of the space to the infinite game of light and shadow, from morning to evening, the sculpture achieves its eternal aesthetic existence. Space is an abstract concept that is open to perception, imagination, and contemplation, and from it we can create organic, spatial, futuristic and scientific sculptural forms. Page 4 of 9 1.5. Artist Selection Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium, under the umbrella of Riyadh Art, a governmental offspring of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC), must ensure a competitive, transparent and efficient process through which to select Artists’ projects and artworks. The Symposium’s Artist selection process will be conducted through its appointed Curator and Jury Panel, according to the specific requirements, characteristics, and curatorial vision of its theme. The initiative will endeavour to engage both Saudi and International Artists through this public competitive selection process under such formal curatorial framework. Ultimately, Tuwaiq International Sculpture Symposium’s Artist and artwork selection process and objective is to work with Artists that can create meaningful artworks with a powerful narrative that can both represent the values of Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision, enriching the overall quality of life, and inspiring the creative spirit of Riyadh’s citizens. 1.6. Term & Conditions 1.6.1 TISS Fees & Requirements a. After the completion of the Symposium, the Expert Panel and Curator Ali Jabbar will select the best sculptures based on an Artwork Selection Criteria and award the final prizes as follows: - 1st Prize: 75,000.00 (SAR) - 2nd Prize: 37,500.00 (SAR) - 3rd Prize: 18,750.00 (SAR) An honorarium of 37,500 (SAR) will be paid to every participating Artist.

Weak zones or cavities Karsts; near surface can be potentially dangerous and several problems are associated with collapse of Tuwaiq Mountain Lime- roads or buildings accompanied by subsidence phenomena. Karst environments are characterized stone; by distinctive landforms, which are related to dissolution and dominant subsurface drainage. The 2-D ER interaction of limestone with water is able to create karst features such as cavity, pinnacle, boulder and sinkhole through the dissolution process. The existence of subsurface karst features are always a matter of concern to engineers before any development starts because these features could cause disaster in the future. The study was conducted at Tuwaiq Mountain Limestone, Riyadh region, KSA with the objective to detect and treat karst features at limestone rocks. The karst features such as fill cavity, boulder, pinnacle, discontinuity and overhang were detected in the survey lines. The 2-D ER results showed a good correlation with all the borehole records in determining the subsur- face of limestone formation.

  • Othman Llewellyn's Arabia: a Guide to Mountains of Unusual Beauty
    OTHMAN LLEWELLYN'S ARABIA: A GUIDE TO MOUNTAINS OF UNUSUAL BEAUTY (Notes taken by John Ady based on the talk given by Mr. Llewellyn on January 17, 1991) Those who attended the meeting held in January 1991, on the evening of the outbreak of the Kuwait war, when the speaker kept nobly to his promise to get to us from Riyadh, will remember his lyrical descriptions of the beauty of Arabian mountain landscapes. He had seen these during several years of extensive travel around Saudi Arabia on behalf of the National Commission for WilcJIife Conservation and Development (NCWCD), helping to select areas to be designated for protection for the value of their vegetation, wildlife and scenery. As a reminder for those who may be able to visit them, we include a map marked with the localities he described (Figure 1). We have added a few further places, all of them mountain areas of unusual beauty, with brief notes on their character based on his descriptions. This is neither a guide nor a guarantee of their accessibility. In most cases a four-wheel drive vehicle is essential to reach them. 1: Jabal Aja' & Jabal Salma These are two separate but nearby mountain ranges, each a maze of pinnacles and domes of red, rose and lavender granite with many perennial and ephemeral springs. They are full of acacia and palm groves nestling in the heights of the mountains with one of the most wonderful displays of spring flowers in Arabia when the rains have been good. It holds a few small herds of ibex, also wolves and ratels, is said to have caracal and may have some of the largest colonies of griffon vultures in the world.

  • Stratigraphic Organisation of the Jurassic Sequence in Interior Oman, Arabian Peninsula
    GeoArabia, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2006 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Stratigraphic organisation of the Jurassic sequence in Interior Oman, Arabian Peninsula Mathieu Rousseau, Gilles Dromart, Henk Droste and Peter Homewood ABSTRACT A stratigraphic model is proposed for the Jurassic sequence in Interior Oman. The model is based on regional well-log correlations, outcrop analysis and integration of biostratigraphy. Large-scale architectures are restored using a well-to-well correlation technique, after the well-log markers of the relevant surfaces of sequence stratigraphy are identified. This identification is achieved by comparing well-log signatures to lithological and sedimentological columns of nearby exposed sections. The subsurface dataset consists of 19 wells arranged in two east-west profiles, 341 km and 332 km long. The Jurassic sequence in Interior Oman shows a general easterly thinning wedge and includes two hiatuses with marked age-gaps. Three major depositional episodes are identified: (1) a Pliensbachian-Toarcian coastal encroachment in a southward direction, represented by the dominantly clastic deposition of the Lower Mafraq Formation upon the Permian carbonates; (2) a general late Bajocian marine flooding (hybrid facies of marginal-marine environments of the Upper Mafraq Formation), followed through the Bathonian-Callovian by the carbonate Dhruma-Tuwaiq System which evolved through time from a low-angle, homoclinal ramp dipping in a (north) westwards direction, to a purely aggradational, flat-topped platform (upper Dhruma and Tuwaiq Mountain formations); (3) a Kimmeridgian-Tithonian onlap in an eastwards direction of fine- grained limestones (Jubaila-Rayda) upon the post-Tuwaiq unconformity. Depositional hiatuses in the early Liassic and at the Early-Middle Jurassic transition are likely to reflect major eustatic sea-level lowstands.

  • AP03 a New Reference Section for the Lower to Middle
    AP03 A New Reference Section for the Lower to Middle Jurassic Southwest of Riyadh: Detailed Stratigraphic Architecture and Regional Correlation with the Subsurface of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait C.T. Reid* (Saudi Aramco), N. Hooker (Saudi Aramco), W. Hughes (Applied Microfacies Limited UK), R. Lindsay (Saudi Aramco), A. Dhubeeb (Saudi Aramco), A. Al-Mojel (Saudi Aramco), P. Breuer (Saudi Aramco), A. Henderson (Saudi Aramco) & A. Bakhiet (Saudi Aramco) SUMMARY The Marrat and Lower Dhruma formations were deposited during a period of transition between tectonic inversion and differential subsidence in the Late Triassic, followed by rifting of Gondwana in the early Middle Jurassic. This is reflected by a switch from predominantly fluvio-deltaic clastics of the Minjur Formation, to mixed carbonates and clastics of the Dhruma Formation, and the establishment of platform carbonates of the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation. Note that the Marrat and Dhruma formations were originally defined from field work in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s. These definitions differ from those currently used in the subsurface of Kuwait, where the Lower Dhruma of Saudi Arabia is called the “Upper Marrat.” This is a source of considerable confusion. Within an outcrop belt to the southwest of Riyadh, and within the subsurface of the Rub’ al-Khali Basin, the Marrat and Lower Dhruma formations consist of north-easterly prograding fluvio-deltaic sandstones, alternating with finer grained paralic to shallow marine sandstones, mottled red to purple pedogenic siltstones, dark lagoonal mudstones and sandy dolomitic limestones. Within the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, these formations consist of clean shelfal limestone, alternating with thin interbedded argillaceous lagoonal limestones.
