The Line is a cognitive city stretching 170 kilometres, from the epic mountains of NEOM across inspirational desert valleys to the beautiful Red Sea - a mirrored architectural masterpiece towering 500 meters above sea level but a land-saving 200 meters wide. The Line redefines the concept of urban development and what cities of the future will look like.
SoftSim Consults was involved in multiple design development phases, supporting the project teams with wind microclimate, wind loading and outdoor thermal comfort. CFD assessment was completed for wind microclimate and thermal comfort at different building levels and target zones of the development. The assessment results supported the design team of NEOM, The Line, in improving thermal comfort conditions and wind microclimate safety and comfort.
