"Growth that would once have produced a cityscape dominated by form instead produced one dominated by an unfamiliar and unexpected variant of urban space. In the megalopolis, urban space translated, not into collective space, but into a world of neglect, very nearly dropped from the consciousness of its inhabitants. This space was perceived then, as it is today, as being without qualities-unstructured and inert. As a result, space was not regarded according to the freedoms it afforded, but merely as the benign host of fractured forms-chaotic, uncontrolled, and ultimately sub-urban.

These fractured forms produced an enormous residuum of space that we still loathe to call urban" From Form to Space Albert Pope

TDIC Abu Dhabi Government of Abu Dhabi Mafraq, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 72 Hectares 2009

Scope of Services Master planning of residential blocks for hotel staff of five to seven star hotels in Abu Dhabi.

Programs Residential blocks consisting of bachelor’s studio apartments to family units of varying sizes, neighborhood shops, healthcare and other community facilities, green public spaces and parks. The planning was to include a preliminary design of roads for private vehicles and company transportation (bus) system.

Design Concept The main idea was to create three separate communities within the site distinctive of their usage and yet a single development in typology. This idea was enhanced through the provision and strategic location of bus stations, plots specifically designated for public facilities and open space, which were distributed throughout the development at walk able distances for the residents to use.

Duties Master planning, preparation of urban design guidelines, three dimensional images and other graphic representations.
