Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – August 4, 2025 – In the bustling arteries of modern cities, one small window is reshaping how we understand architecture. It’s not in a museum or a landmark—but where a delivery driver hands over your meal. Now, for the first time, that tiny handoff point is the subject of a bold architectural investigation.

As cities grow denser and faster, a new urban layer is quietly emerging—one driven not by architects, but by delivery apps and two-wheeled logistics. The “delivery window” has become a silent but consistent feature of contemporary buildings. Yet until now, it has lacked any spatial dignity or architectural consideration. The research project Last Meal reframes this detail not as an afterthought, but as a legitimate architectural component worthy of codification and design rigor.

This isn’t a study about food—it’s a study about space, speed, and the thresholds of contemporary living. From Riyadh to Los Angeles, we’re witnessing a transformation where mopeds and motorcycles create micro-economies across facades and alleyways. Last Meal calls for a design-based response to this phenomenon, positioning architects as key agents—not just observers—of this new typology. It recognizes that while delivery by motorbike is environmentally favorable, the absence of spatial planning is becoming chaotic and unsustainable.

The research proposes the world’s first architectural code for delivery windows, including guidelines on dimensions, materials, positioning, and even the potential for integrated rest pods, maintenance zones, and sanitation nodes for riders. It’s a framework that welcomes the delivery industry as an urban stakeholder, while also reclaiming architectural authorship over a rapidly expanding spatial practice.

Initiated by INJ Architects under the leadership of Ibrahim Joharji, Last Meal is the first architectural initiative to formally document, measure, and conceptualize the rise of the delivery window. It’s not just a study—it’s an open invitation for collaboration between designers, planners, and delivery platforms toward a more intentional and equitable urban future.
