The area underneath the histroric mountain is left underdeveloped with a few scattered trees. After some research and interviews with the locals we decided to create a park with shaded picnic areas with elevated platform that are connected to the bridge that is now left with no use. Instead we decided to make it a pedestrian bridge that directs people towards the farms.

The proposed design showcases a better lanscaping enjoy the walkways that shaed with either includes picnic areas and elevated platforms that leads to the farm area. While the path lanscaping strategy in which visitors could either trees of shaing elements. The design also platforms that conncets to the pedestian bridge path under the bridge, leads to area C.

The farm which is open to the public, however it is located in between private farms, making it unknown to visitors of the Wadi. The farm condition is very old, lacks appropriate fencing, pavement and other user facilities. The development of the farm focused on giving more exposure to the farm by connecting it with the rest of the Wadi.

Proposed Design

Design Proccess

The owner of the farm requested not to make his farm become a park, meaning to be crowded and have people sitting too long. The design proposes a long main pathway cutting through, and smaller arteries on each side for people to harvest their own goods.

Area C - Rest

The area enjoys calm as the surrounding areas are considered private property. Still, it includes a lot of wasted spaces that we can develop and revive to become a rest and recreation area and reuse the existing elements and local materials more effectively t contribute to the development and design compatible with the at mosphere and the environment.
