Abstract
Handcraft jewellery is an important part of the culture in Saudi Arabia. There is a need to revive and preserve this art and culture for the future generation. Therefore, this work presents the development of Handcraft Jewellery Center at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In this work, two case studies based on a handcraft center were analysed. Based on the case studies analysis, for the development of Handcraft Jewellery Center, the estimated gross floor area for the center is 9700 m2. In addition, the center consists of a number of zones, which includes education, workshops, commercial, outdoor activities and administration. For this work, two sites were proposed as development site. These sites were subjected to site evaluation analysis in order to determine the most suitable site. Based on the results of the site evaluation analysis, site 1 showed an evaluation score of 85.5 and site 2 achieved a score of 77. Thus, site 1 was selected as the development site. The design concept for the Handcraft Jewellery Center is based on jewellery stones. This center is expected to revive, preserve and sustain Saudi Arabia's handicraft jewellery sector for many future generations and to contribute to the economy of Saudi Arabia.
