The vision of the project is to create a branch of the UNHabitat within the UAE, that captures the soul of the organization and its various attempts to restructure and urbanize a region. In order to achieve its goal, there must be a thorough analysis of the site and how UN-HABITAT can urbanize the site. Hailed from the manifesto; research is needed to understand what is needed to in order to gain adequate information on why it is needed.
Boundaries and heirachies of the proposed site must be set. This will give a detailed understanding on how to urbanize the proposed site. This will also aide in the decision of the formed and unformed spaces.
Based on various levels of camparison and analysis the proposed site choosen was the sharjah site. It consists of dense population as well as vehicular and pedestrian traffic. On the site will be;Exhibi�tion spaces, Regional environmental sustainablilty offices, Adminstration a plus function of Private homes for residents below the economic bracket and other facilities required by the UNHabitat.

The second and third floor typologies were heavily developed from the office typology research. The use of the “indoor n outdoor” office typology to creat an invinsible wall within an office space as opposed to the use of the “level change” which helps to demacate the office without the use of solid walls, pillars or curtains.
The users of the office space can stand from the third floor where a a retreat corridor has been devised in order to view the busy office life of the second floor.
