Creating the Museum mile

Along the SZR , mostly high rise building populate its edges with various typologies from residential to commercial. The aim of this project was to develop a museum mile with the Burj and museum of the future to draw tourist together. The 30m high restriction would also allow for a breath of fresh air into the highly populated area and give a new experience. Due to strict master planning regulations the High rise Along SZR follow a similar pattern of commercial ground floor, followed by residential at the top and a parking building set back from the building . Over time these regulations have created this comfortable shaded green corridor for the pedestrians. This model was a class effort with the building being 3D printed and the base made cardboard.

User patterns used to create the forms axis. With this the outline the form was extruded to level height. The wind channels were then considered where the form edges were fanned out to allow wind-channels to meet at a central point. To the internal structure a canopy was then introduced. The canopy started with a simple twisted form. At the next stage the supports were added with an extruded center to accommodate the central form, from there the rigid form was evened out and more smooth. For the structure of the canoy sustainable cooling aspect where a double skin facade is generated allowing the internal structure to remain shaded and cool at all times of the day

This Co-housing project was designed with the aim to bring the community together and respond to the upcoming Deira Enrichment Project. With the idea of an Urban Resurgence, the community and its needs were put first and addressed through the common public spaces with a variety of amenities and a green spine. Through this green spine the previously divided Creek and neighborhood were now connected, and the pedestrians were put first in every aspect of the design.
