Project Management for Alex McDowell’s exploration of a regenerative community.
Al Baydha is an area in western Saudi Arabia, 20 miles south of Mecca. This region comprises nine villages inside 700 kilometers, all populated by Bedouin tribes.
Tradition meets sustainability in the Al Baydha Project — a rural, land restoration, poverty-alleviation, and heritage preservation program to create a socially, culturally, and environmentally sustainable economy.
Prototyping for Change
Alex McDowell and our team pulled off something absolutely amazing here.
Make a world in a real-time development engine,
then make a tangible world that works.
How do you make a sustainable village in the middle of the dessert?
And how do you get the people to build it for themselves? Maintain it for themselves? How do you even think about growing a tree, or capturing water?
