This document outlines a case study on developing Jeddah City as a knowledge city through open design studio educational projects. It discusses the motivation for knowledge cities and choosing Jeddah City as the case study location. Jeddah is a major urban center in Saudi Arabia with strategic economic and cultural importance as a port city and gateway to Mecca. The document argues that Jeddah possesses the economic, knowledge, historical, cultural and accessibility attributes needed to become a knowledge city according to established frameworks. It proposes using an open design studio model within educational institutions like King Abdul Aziz University to help cultivate Jeddah as a knowledge city through hands-on projects.

The spread of computation and ‘Informationand communicationtechnologies’ (ICTs) affected the methods of communication; and therefore affecting the lifepatterns of people, reshaping the builtenvironment, and radically changing the profile of the city.

KCs Through ‘OPEN DESIGN STUDIO’ Educational Projects INTRODUCTION Introduction Motivation Scope and Limitations Aim and Objectives KCs Open Design Studio (ODS) Formation of KCs ODS ODS Development Model Activities and Outcomes Discussion Conclusion What is Economy? In modern economies, there are four main sectors of economic activities .. Modern Economic Activities 1st Sector 2nd Sector 3rd Sector 4th Sector The extraction and production of rawmaterials, such as: corn, coal, wood and iron. Transformation of raw or intermediate materials into goods e.g. manufacturing steel into cars, or textiles into clothing. The provision of services to Consumers and businesses, such as: cinema and banking. Involves the research and development needed to produce products from naturalresources. Dr. Amro A.

16. Over 50% of GDP in an increasing number of industrializedcountries moved consistently from material-based to be knowledge-based.

17. Currently there are 65urbandevelopment programs worldwide managed to be formally termed KCs .

18. KCs offer Influential opportunities, including: competitiveness, prosperity, leadership, economic growth, increasing capital investments, lifecycle savings, innovative conservation of resources, and strong dynamics of innovation across all economic and social sectors.Dr. Amro A. Taibah Dr. Khaled Ali Youssef Faculty of Environmental Design King Abdul Aziz University, KSA Slide 8

20. It is the largest city in Mecca Province, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, the largestseaport on the Red Sea; handling about 29.98% of Saudi Arabia's commercial movement.

21. Jeddah is a center for businesses with 320commercialestablishments; approximately 21% of all centers in Saudi Arabia.Dr. Amro A. Taibah Dr. Khaled Ali Youssef Faculty of Environmental Design King Abdul Aziz University, KSA Slide 9

23. For over 1000 years, Jeddah has received millions of pilgrims and Umrah performers of different backgrounds; from Africa, CentralAsia, SoutheastAsia, Europe and the MiddleEast. Some remained and became residents to make the city more ethnically and culturallydiverse.

24. It is the most liberal and tolerant of all Saudi Arabian cities, and can be considered the primary resort of Saudi Arabia.Dr. Amro A. Taibah Dr. Khaled Ali Youssef Faculty of Environmental Design King Abdul Aziz University, KSA Slide 10

26. Jeddah contains a large number of modernopen-airsculptures and works of art along the ‘courniche’ and majorspines, making the city one of the largest open-air art galleries in the world. Sculptures include works by a variety of artists and international stars such as Jean/Hans Arp, César Baldaccini, Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Joan Miróand Victor Vasarely.Dr. Amro A.

Summing up, and based of Berg’s 7 foundations of KCs and Florida’s vision concerning the capacity to attract, hold and maintaincreative individuals, one can argue that the city of Jeddah has the economic,knowledge,historical, cultural, spatial and temporalpotentials, and the access to local and non-local markets; especially to the markets in Mecca and Medina. …….. The potentials of the multi-ethnic, culturally diverse, maritime gate city to become a KC promoted it to be the case of this study. Dr. Amro A. Taibah Dr. Khaled Ali Youssef Faculty of Environmental Design King Abdul Aziz University, KSA Slide 13

31. Within this creative environment, rich and sophisticated subject areas, such as the capacity of Jeddah to be a KC, can be better investigated.Dr. Amro A. Taibah Dr. Khaled Ali Youssef Faculty of Environmental Design King Abdul Aziz University, KSA Slide 14

A methodology to allow for multidisciplinaryeducation; i.e. the value added to the educationalsettings is the most important. A tool to investigate the capabilities of educational projects in catalyzing the concept of KCs, raising awareness and providing provisionalsolutions; i.e. the process is the most significant. … Despite these three aspects seem exciting and worthy to be scientifically analyzed and evaluated, this paper will focus only on the third aspect.

The motives behind the selection of the subject area and casestudies were addressed, and the aim, objectives, methodology, and development model were introduced. After displaying the activities and outcomes of the ODS in its brainstormingphase, a discussion took place, highlighting the achievements, challenges, weaknesses and future directions. The paper focused on one aspect of the study; i.e. the capabilities of educationalprojects to catalyze the concept of KCs, while the experience showed two other aspects worthy of further investigation: the potential of Jeddah to become a KC, and the impact of multidisciplinary projects on the educationalsettings and process. Through analyzing the experience, the paper proposed a number of procedures and actions to support and enhance the performance of the ODS, and ensure continuity, integration and accumulation of effort.
