The Al-Kindi Plaza shopping/office complex is located on Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter. Not a soul was around in my several visits there except some skateboarders (so perfect for pictures!). I subsequently learned that the building with the reflections and huge canopy is the Palace of Culture, which is surrounded by the plaza, so I don't know if it's considered part of it or not (but I'm treating it as one place in this gallery).

The plaza won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture http://www.akdn.org/architecture/project.asp?id=920 which site says: "The jury considered Al-Kindi Plaza to be an ideal model for cities in Islamic and Arab societies for having attractively preserved the traditional link between the mosque and the other public services of the city. The landscaping of the entire project has been planned as a self-sustaining ecological system, using, where appropriate, plant materials to be found in the surrounding desert environment. The jury found the landscaping to be 'a realistic and imaginative understanding of the natural and spatial organisation in hot and arid regions'."
