0 ANTESEEDENT A RC H5 0 2 | FA LL 2 02 1 Prof. Annarita Cornaro

Anteseedent is a research center and seed vault that artistically visualizes the life of a plant beginning with the seed protected underneath the soil until it is strong enough to penetrate the surface. Mimicking this life cycle; the Anteseedent project is engulfed by the surrounding nature where the foundation of the seed vault starts deeply underneath making its way 15 meters above the surface. The purpose of this project is to preserve local seeds of the UAE and work on enhancing future crops in response to the continuing decline of climate that magnifies food security threats on the UAE which already has harsh climate. Additionally, The project provides spaces to educate the public on seed science, food security, crop biodiversity and other related topics. to view the project with better visuals and GIFS, please visit the link: https://www.behance.net/gallery/118092451/Anteseedent

The project’s idea was focused on reviving the area of Al Serkal, whether by changing the facades of the warehouse, or demolishing them.

The Red Collonade was a proposal that worked on enhancing the facades of the warehouses and by adding more life to them.

The idea was also sustainable because the concept was about using the plastic boxses used by the warehouses, then using them as seating areas that would also provide shading.
