History and Developments of Ports

Ports Started with the Civilization

Ports Developments

The aim of this project is to show urban evolution. It does not mean that it becomes’ a station for transportation only, it’s also an entertainment precinct which includes public spaces, pedestrian walk way, bicycles and open spaces to accommodate people with the nature and socialize them. The space inside being dynamic, calming and functional. The space can create a sensory experience extension different from the norm.

Changing of Ports’ Functions

The rapid evolution in Abu Dhabi city and the urban expansion inspired me to design a project especially focusing on the island’s growth. Island growth defiantly means that the city will have a huge extend in the maritime adoption. This thesis proposes the design of portable marina terminals for use in transport, entertain, and landmark applications in remote locations. Currently, remote research is conducted from the heritage of the city. This thesis proposes a terminal that is a gateway unique in form, spaces and functions. One of the aspects to achieve is preserving the culture, and the heritage of the city, presenting the modernism and indicating the place.
