Diriyah Culture: Doors

The book Diriyah Culture: Doors documents the ornamental door traditions of Diriyah, the ancestral home of the Saudi royal family, through photography by Laziz Hamani. Its visual content traces the evolution of door decoration from simple triangle and point engravings to intricate geometric forms including circles, arches, rhombuses, and crescents, alongside vegetal and linear motifs. Floral patterns, bunches of grapes, and hexagonal shapes feature throughout, illustrating how artisans adapted designs through scale, color variation, and repetition. The work presents these doors as architectural records of Diriyah's cultural and historical development.
