Process
The project is located on a beach town, Salmanshahr, in the north of Iran in a context where traditionally, most building have sloped roofs due to the climate of the region with heavy rainfalls. The main income of this region is relied on fishing and agriculture. This mixed-use complex is a floating city where all sort of functions happen. Fishermen, farmers, tourists, business-men, local people, buyers, seller and every other men or women meet here to live together in a city which is floated on the Khazar sea. Based on the local performances of the region this complex is designed with boat channels, local markets, floating fish markets, sloped roof houses, public courtyards and etc. all with the pleasant view of the sea. Gathering the fishermen and the farmers of the city will add to the value of the region, helping the recent poor economy situation of the locals.
