Suudi Aydınlanmasını Anlamak İçin Bir Örnek: Nufud Çölü Kıyısındaki Maraya Konser Salonu

Abstract

2017'den beri kendinden söz ettiren Suudi Arabistan Vision 2030 belgesi ile atacağı adımları ve yapacağı işleri ilan etti. Değişim Suudi Arabistan'da sağlıktan ekonomiye, ormancılıktan tarıma, müzikten kültüre, uluslar arası ilişkilerden dijital dünyaya her alanda kendini göstermeye başladı. Bu çalışmada kültürel görünen ancak zihni bir dönüşüme karşılık gelen bir yapı, el-Ula'daki benzersiz ve modern Maraya Konser Salonu üzerinden Suudi Arabistan'ın son yıllardaki değişimi tartışılmaktadır. Maraya hakkında bilgiler verilmekte, konser salonunun konumu, özellikleri ile Suudi Arabistan yönetiminin zihni kodlarına yönelik bir analiz yapılmaktadır. Söz konusu bu dar konuya ilişkin bir literatür henüz oluşmadığından çalışma için haberler, Suudi Arabistan analizleri ve konuyla dolaylı ilgili olan bilimsel araştırmalardan faydalanılmıştır. Bu bakımdan çalışmanın metodolojisi ikincil kaynaklar üzerinden yapılan araştırmalar üzerine kurulmuştur. Sonuç olarak Suudi Arabistan'ın değişim ya da dönüşüm için kararlı olduğu, bu kararını mimari yapılar gibi fiziki unsurlarla ifade etmeye çalıştığını, yapılanların neticesinde bölgede yeni bir siyasi ve ekonomik gücün inşa edildiği kanaatine ulaşılmıştır.

A Sample for Understanding the Saudi Tanwir: Maraya Concert Hall on the Edge of al-Nafud

Abstract

Since 2017, the Saudi Vision 2030 document has declared the steps, initiatives, and transformations that Saudi Arabia will undertake. Consequently, change has begun to manifest itself in every field, from healthcare to the economy, forestry to agricultural production, music to cultural diversity, and from international relations to digital asset investments. Within this context, this study discusses Saudi Arabia’s recent transformation through a cultural yet mentally transformative architectural structure-the unique and modern Maraya Concert Hall located in al-Ula. In this paper, information about Maraya is provided, along with an analysis of the concert hall’s location and characteristics, as well as an interpretation of the mental codes of the Saudi administration. However, since there is no established literature on this niche subject, the study utilizes newspaper articles, analyses of Saudi Arabia, and indirectly related scientific research. Therefore, since a comprehensive literature on the subject has not yet been established, the methodology has been designed based on the evaluation of secondary and indirect sources. As a result, it is concluded that Saudi Arabia is resolute in its pursuit of change or transformation and attempts to express this resolve through physical elements such as architectural structures. This article concludes that Saudi Arabia is determined to pursue change or transformation, expressing this determination through physical elements such as architectural structures, and that as a result of these efforts, a new political and economic power has been established in the region.
