Some honest thoughts about the Line from someone with experience working on other super visionary projects in Saudi Arabia. Check out this scale comparison to other world famous projects:    • Neom the Line  Height and length com...  

NEOM | The Line is a linear megaproject, 170km long, 200m wide, and 500m tall. What does that mean in terms of architecture, livability, and construction? Is it even possible? What would the budget for such a project be? Really, I raise more questions that I can answer.

I am Dimitar, a US licensed architect who's done lots of design competition work in the Middle East from London. I teach architectural design, run courses for using design tools effectively, and make videos on many topics related to architecture and design.
