The Riad is an interactive world by Mahmoud Halat, built for the web. It brings original art and studio work into a courtyard, gallery, study and workbench, letting visitors move through a place rather than a conventional portfolio grid.
The experiment follows the geometry and atmosphere of a riad. Architecture provides a setting for the art and the stories behind it. These are rendered scenes from the project, not photographs of a physical property.
We documented the experiment with excerpts from the experience and a longer account of how it came together. Visit the live world, then read the project journal for the thinking behind the rooms.
