THE TECTONIC LANGUAGE

The Intervention Statement

Highlighting the density of el khalifa and taking its positive effect and its relation with spirituality to solve the negative traits of the place.

How it is translated into the model:

By responding to the density on El Khalifa street to match the prorities of the volumes. The first line is super dense and busy, however, as you go inside towards the center the narrow pathways and alleyways gets opens up to a more open space. In addition to that density is relating to the context well yet what was missing was for them to ‘Breath’ and by creating scattered open courtyards for different functions we can use the in between spaces. Other spaces gives them the freedom to see how they shape the space, yet not the total freedom for it to be overused.
