an agri-cluster for the development of Vintrie, Malmö Master’s thesis - Date of defense: May 2021 Master program: Sustainable urban design, Lund University
! Nutritious food
The aim of this Master’s thesis project is to propose a new development that harnesses the social, economic and environmental benefits of a productive city. This is achieved through the lens of urban agriculture as a catalyst for sustainable growth. It aims to: • Present a site-specific scenario for the development of the Vintrie area in Malmö, based on strategies and design principles that bridge urbanity, landscape, food production and the people. • Design an urban development centered around the Agri-cluster that is the driver for a new development in Vintrie: It supports public life, local living, and ecological systems.

Populus trees can be used in the outer edge of the site, close to the highway. They can grow up to 2m per year, also constituting windbreakers.
Rowan trees have berries that are widely consumed by migrating birds and other wildlife. Soil cover containing dead organic material that offer nutrients, protect the soil, and control evaporation.
Fruit trees can be part of forest gardens and offer a canopy for low trees and shrubs.
Hawthorn shrubs and berries shrubs can be planted on the edges.
Chestnut trees are deciduous trees that can be found in the region. They contribute to CO2 absorption, as well as creating shade and recreational spaces. The pond deck allows users to get closer to the water. It also creates a sheltered environment for small insects and other aquatic wildlife.
Aquatic herbs contribute to biodiversity and their flowers are part of certain insects diets. Reeds also contribute to purifying the pond and help stabilize the edges.

A STARTING POINT, HAJE CENTRAL Location: Prague, Czech Republic Date: September - December 2021 Master’s program in sustainable urban design, Lund University Studio: Urban dynamics
Modernistic fabric
This project proposes a new urban development in the Haje area, located in the Praha 11 suburb. The aim of the new development is to bridge the new with the existing and develop public spaces to create social anchors and attractive nodes in the site. The main focus is the metro station and the main connecting street. The design project was conducted individually after the analysis phase that was conducted in groups, with a focus on the global influences on the city of Prague and a multi-thematic analysis of Praha 11. Software:

BUILDING RESILIENCE Location: Ystad, Sweden Date: September - December 2019 Master’s program in sustainable urban design, Lund University Studio: Sustainable urban recycling This urban proposal is implemented in Ystad’s harbor that is going to be transformed from a commercial harbor to a mixed-use urban zone according to the municipality’s vision. In this design, I experimented with super blocks that enclose semiprivate areas spaces. The design process was largely impacted by design guidelines for climate adaptation, mainly addressing future flood plain and sea level rise, and managing the impact of prevailing winds on urban comfort.

A SEAT AT THE TABLE Location: Hjertelia, Norway Date: July - September 2021 EUROPAN 16 Competition entry Co-collaborators: Athena Newman-Andrews, Caitlin Schultz
See the full proposal here:
https://issuu.com/ nadadhaiba/docs/hjertelia_-_ layout_-_2021-09-17_v2
‘A Seat at the Table’ is a proposal that seeks to start a process in Hjertelia, where the needs of all actors in the ecosystem are considered. The site presents an opportunity to rethink the traditional hierarchies and the dichotomy between human and non-human. The goal is to create a neighbourhood where residents can live closely with nature and with their neighbours, and where the fabric of everyday life intertwines the natural cycles of the seasons, of the landscape and that allows all forms of life to thrive. The built and organic fabric was guided by a sensitive handling of the topography, daylight exposure, preserving key vistas and maintaining amenity for existing and proposed dwellings. The key was to create proximity between neighbours, to nature and to key infrastructure whilst striving for a balance between density and permeability, between the wild and cultivated, between rural life and the desire to stay connected to the city.

This is our entry for a competition that was conducted as part of our studio. The aim is to propose public spaces in a modernistic neighborhood in Prague. The competition for ideas lasted five days during which we had lectures on relevant topics we should consider and have group work sessions. We presented a Masterplan, axon, sections, renders and visualizations to explain the concept, process and design principles. My contributions to the task: I participated to the brainstorming sessions for the concept and the Masterplan, and produced visualizations to explain the design principles, the concept and different situations. 54
