TOUCH & FEEL

Project : Muharraq Souq

Floor Areas : - sq.ml

Implementation of photovoltaic Solar Panels in semiclosed public areas/souks/centers in Bahrain would be such an advantage because of many aspects such as the ideal weather, high-demand of energy during summer, and the urge to limit the pressure on the oil reserves. These buildings are horizontal with a huge footprint which gives a big surface area for solar panels. The project is to shade these public places using PV panels and to produce energy for the building at the same time.m

While it’s true that bigger is better when it comes to the surface area coverage of the solar panels, the idea of eventually having a bigger project that’s divided into multiple phases came into mind in order to mitigate project risks. The launching phase begins with an addition of 200-meter-long shed infrastructure with built-in solar panels above the alleys of Muharraq Souq, alongside incorporating low-tech architecture simply by specifying natural vernacular materials as seen prevalent among traditional ‘areesha’ lightweight structures.m

This presentation has been submitted to the EU Bahrain Urban Hackathon held on June 26th-28th, 2022.m
