Diriyah (Arabic: الدرعية), formerly romanized as Dereyeh and Dariyya, is a town in Saudi Arabia located on the north-western outskirts of the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Diriyah was the original home of the Saudi royal family, and served as the capital of the Emirate of Diriyah under the first Saudi dynasty from 1744 to 1818. Today, the town is the seat of the Diriyah Governorate, which also includes the villages of Uyayna, Jubayla, and Al-Ammariyyah, among others, and is part of Ar Riyad Province.
The Turaif district in Diriyah was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
The ruins of the old city of Diriyah lay on either side of the narrow valley known as Wadi Hanifa, which continues southwards through Riyadh and beyond. Consisting almost entirely of mud-brick structures, the ruins are divided into three districts, Ghussaibah, Al-Mulaybeed, and Turaif, set on top of hills overlooking the valley. Of the three, Turaif is the highest, and its bottom is easily accessible to tourists by foot. Part of the city wall, running along the edges of the wadi and also made of mud-bricks, are still extant along with some short observation towers.
Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, DBE (Arabic: زها حديد Zahā Ḥadīd; born 31 October 1950) is an Iraqi-British architect. In 2004 she became the first woman recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She received the Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 she was made a dame. In 2014 the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre, designed by her, won the Design Museum Design of the Year Award, making her the first woman to win the top prize in that competition. In 2015 she became the first woman to be awarded the RIBA Gold Medal in her own right.
Her buildings are distinctively neofuturistic, characterised by the "powerful, curving forms of her elongated structures" with "multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry to evoke the chaos of modern life". She is currently professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in Austria.
Hadid was born on 31 October 1950 in Baghdad. She grew up in one of Baghdad's first Bauhaus-inspired buildings during an era in which "modernism connoted glamour and progressive thinking" in the Middle East.

Al-Diriyah, la cuna de una nación - life
It is the first capital of Saudi Arabia: the town of Najad arose from the sands three centuries ago. It fell to the Ottoman Empire's grip after Ibrahim Basha besieged the town with the marching Turkish army. For this, he was awarded Mecca and all that it stands as a prize for sacking al- Diriyah. "After the collapse of the state, Al-Diriyah was neglected and its residents abandoned it. They then lived in a primitive manner until the 1950s," said Emir Sultan Bin Selman. Al-Diriyah fell and rose from the sands three times, and here it is rising again for the fourth time. But this time it is a different rebirth. It is the revival of history not by rewriting its chronicles, but by introducing history as a genuine part of the present. "It is not about restoration, it is a about th...

Its founder has passed away, but with new head Patrik Schumacher at the helm, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) appears to be taking on as many new projects as it ever has. The firm recently announced that it's going to build an oasis-inspired Urban Heritage Administration Centre in Diriyah, near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The result of an architectural competition launched last year, the Urban Heritage Administration Centre will measure 8,780 sq m (94,507 sq ft) and is part of a larger project to preserve the UNESCO World Heritage Site's rich history. The building will serve as head office of the Heritage Museum and include a permanent exhibition gallery, library, lecture hall, and educational facilities, in addition to a scientific institution for conducting field research and documentation of ne...

Al-Diriyah, un símbolo en la historia de Arabia Saudí y un proyecto de restauración que servirá de modelo para su futuro. Fue la capital del primer Estado Saudí. Aquí, en 1744, el primer cabeza de la casa de Saud unió sus fuerzas junto con el líder religioso Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab. Un pacto que fusionó la política y el Islam y convirtió a Al-Diriyah en un centro de poder y conocimiento. Pero en 1818 las fuerzas otomananas sitiaron la ciudad. Sus gobernantes huyeron y crearon una nueva capi… MÁS INFORMACIÓNES: http://es.euronews.com/2014/10/20/al-diriyah-la-cuna-de-una-nacion euronews: el canal de noticias más visto en Europa ¡Abónese! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=euronewses euronews está disponible en 14 idiomas: https://www.youtube.com/user/euronewsnetwork/c...

This UNESCO world Heritage Site, is extremely damaged through neglect. It is slowly being restored to it's original state. Old Dir'Aiyah is the ancestral home of the al-Sauds and the cradle of Riyadh’s history. Found perched on a hill overlooking Wadi Hanifa in the northwestern outskirts of Riyadh, the area is steeped in ancient history. Once the capital of Riyadh, Old Dir'Aiyah is full of mud houses, walls and ancient palaces which have a tale or two to tell.

I've spent almost all of my summers in Riyadh. This summer I made it worthwhile. This is Riyadh through my eyes. Most of the footage was shot in a car. I hope you like it. Please like, share, leave me comments and subscribe. New video next Friday.
Teacher moves me from seat to seat, huh!
All I do is talk
Teacher, may I use the bathroom please?
Yes, it's an emergency!
Teacher makes me take my test first
I'll take your test
Trapped inside this hourglass
Thoughts of crass
I'll give you the answers you want to hear
But I won't conform
Unlike my mindless vacant peers
They're the norm
Exactly what do you want me to say?
Exactly what do you want from me?
Exactly what do you want me to be now?
Please classify me
Force me to succeed
Change identity
And watch me change
Finished, may I use the bathroom please?
Yes, still an emergency!
Come on, cut me some slack
Promise, I'll be right back
Just let me go this one last time
And I'll never ask again,
Just let me go this one last time
And I'll never ask again
Please!
