PROJECT BRIEF; To design an avenue with commercial lots on both sides of varying numbers of lots in each strip. Each lot is of 30’x40’ dimensions & have 6 floor levels. It has retail shops at lower levels i.e.; lower & upper ground floors & apartments on higher levels.

DESIGN CONCEPT; Borrowing architectural elements & vocabulary from the contemporary Arabian architecture to improvise such modular designs that can be joined together in varying manners, resulting in different formations, creating a similar yet different elevation design each time defying the typical practice of monotonous modular repetition. Combining the typical modules in various formations to create numerous different elevations for each strip of lots thus creating a continuously changing Arabian cityscape.

PROLOGUE; A close look into the architecture of modern & medieval souks reveals the underlying essence of the design which lies in the randomly placed spaces with varying roofing systems resulting in different heights creating a cascade of fenestrated facades with well crafted fabric awnings, wooden shades & trellises that not only blocks the hot summer sun but also breaks the façade further into smaller details. Special care being given to the form & minor details of the openings enriches the stacked up built form.

FORM; Randomly placed masses join together to form an unorganized yet interesting stacked forms. With terraces at different levels & wind catchers on top adds more character to the form.

SURFACE TREATMENT; Rendered color crete plastered surfaces with stucco art in niches to highlight specific zones or entry points.

ORNAMENTATION; Columns, openings, wooden railings & screens, awnings, wooden shades & trellises used abundantly for ornamentation & to enrich the façade. Wooden brackets: Even the smallest opening would have concrete brackets in corners, a replication of the old mud brackets. Awnings; White fabric awnings & shades covering the terraces & window openings gives a cooling effect. Mashrabiya is an essential element since medieval times & was used to place & keep the water pots cool. Wooden Screens & Concrete Jaffrys; with intricate details & beautifully crafted patterns add richness yet delicacy to the plain look alike mud plaster surfaces.

LIGHTING; Plays an important role in glorifying the architectural allure by highlighting the fenestrations & niche’s, creating shadows that gives the feel of depth. Street levels are well lit to fill life in. With the highlighted slits, wind catchers make an astounding view against the dark sky in the night.Ornamentation & form of the parapets on top when lit up gives an overwhelming feel to it.
