Creatihg a space with a sense of enclosure and containment, that reassures a feeling of safety and a space where it’s easy for children to learn and grow.
Divide and envelope the facilities where it is simplified depending on the type of use, therefore tit is easy to recognize functions and easier to reach.
Which has a positive impact on various levels for children
This has a phsycological effect on chidren where it gives them a sense of freedom to unleash their capabilities.

Problem statement In the past, the segregation of land uses has led to many negative outcomes, the rise of automobile use and the jobs- housing inequality. This has led to the segregation of race and economy.The Limiting land use limits housing which overall effects the quality of the infastructure and the affordability of housing. The emerging consensus is that, development is more sustainable if it produces a mixture of uses. The trend to mixed usage brings a number of potential benefits. It ensures vitality through activity and diversity which leads to having safer areas.
Mass Development
According to the Amana Regulation we should take setback 5m in the front of the main road and 3m from the side and the back.
Rising the building floors to the maximum floors which is 9 floor to increase the land value
By Analysing the Accessibility and checking the traffic jam the most suitable place to put the Entrance which is on the front of the main Road, for easy access.
By Analysing the Views and Noise we Subtract some of the mass to Create multibal views according to the analysis and also to create an outdoor area
Due to the Climate analysis we added the core in the buildingto atchive ventilation and to make a conniction between the terraces
And for the sun adding a wooden louver to proviad shade and make the facad of the building

Project Brief
Concept
The emerging consensus is that, development is more sustainable if it produces a mixture of uses. Segregation of land uses, encouraged in the past, is not relevant now.
Creating a plaza between the form to create an outdoor freindly envoirment.
The trend back to mixed usage brings a number of potential benefits. It ensures vitality through activity and diversity. It makes areas safer. It also reduces the need to travel, making people less reliant on cars, bringing welcome environmental benefits. Diversity of uses adds to the vitality and interest of town centers. Different but complementary uses, during the day and in the evening can reinforce each other, making town centers more attractive to residents, businesses, shoppers and visitors.

Concept
The power of 10+
The concept was creating a new destination that creates a new definition for open spaces that enhances the social life. Combining a leading destination and new urban community, in one mixed-use development.
The Power of 10+ is a concept Project for Public Spaces developed to evaluate and facilitate Placemaking at multiple city scales. It is a powerful tool for generating constructive conversations to identify targeted Placemaking efforts. The idea behind this concept is that places thrive when users have a range of reasons (10+)to be there. These might include a place to sit, playgrounds to enjoy etc..Further, when cities contain at least 10 of these destinations or districts, their public perception begins to shift amongst both locals and tourists, and urban centers can become better equipped for generating resilience and innovation.

Design Criteria 1- 10 Minute walk distance from landmark
3- Less then 100m from anchor to anchor
4- Every anchor has a supporting function
One of our criteria was that the site is easy to walk and the time for moving from site to site is short. We took the Landmark as a reference for as long as it is the farthest point
One of our main goals was also to have anchor every 100 meters in order to enhance the vitality of the project.
Connecting each Anchor to supporting functions and activities.

35 Nodes are located based on the interssection of main axis, which are areas that are most potentially to be places for assembly and a variety of activities. therefore their loactions should be based on the highest intersection point. The nodes are formed based on surrounding functions and how these open spaces could support these functions. Therefore this will help with initiating more social interactions and having a new definition for outdoor spaces

Gated Communities are considered as a modern urban phenomenon, which offers a better life for its occupants and contributes, to some extent, in the formation of the urbanscape of the city. According to the lack of clear approaches to monitoring and assessing the needs of the target population of gated communities, this project aims at formulating an contemporary approach for redefining the concept of housing and communities from the perspective of quality of life standards.

Design Philosophy The sustainable growth and development of our cities are essential. The development of sites such as this is founded on Taif urban needs principles while acknowl-edging its historical past. The principal objective of this master plan is to establish a dynamic mixed-use precinct - a place for work, entertainment, and leisure. As a new development, it aims to attract residents, businesses locally and from abroad. The range of architectural types and settings forms the beginning of a complete picture of modern urban life and will allow the project to adapt over time and embrace new uses as it evolves. In connecting the individual precincts, the plan establishes a series of circulation spines. Within this structure, a network of garden courts and public rooms are woven throughout the master plan as part of a larger urban initiative to create a sustainable, environmentally responsible community linking the many functions within the development program.
