The main structural element that will be used to hold the form is the PVC pipe. The pipes will be connected together with various types of PVC joints. due to the low load of the structure a lot of structural positioning and joints don’t have to be made.

PVC poles will be placed around the site and will be connected with ropes so the fabric for the maze can be easily placed. the fabric will also be placed around the pavilions for privacy and protection from the weather.On top of the pavilions colored transparent plastics will be placed to give colored light.

SITE ANALYSIS POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

MACRO TO MICRO OVERIEW POPULATION IN A MACRO VIEW Aura of dubai

Dubai is the second-largest emirate in the country with an area of 4,114 sq. km. Located in the southwest corner of the Arabian Gulf, it is hailed as a global business hub and the commercial capital of the UAE. This cosmopolitan metropolis has more expatriates than Emiratis. Though the local population is Muslim, there are Christian, Hindu and Sikh communities. In 1980, the population of Dubai was roughly 0.27 million. The number rose to 0.68 million in 1995, and 1.3 million in 2005. In 2015, the population crossed the two million mark to reach 2.38 million. In 2018, it again crossed 3 million. There are numerous factors for the high population growth rate in Dubai, the most important of them all is its cosmopolitan approach. This has triggered foreign nationals to come and settle in the region, making the expatriate population weigh more than the nationals. Over the years, the country has gone through several key demographic changes.

The discovery of oil gave momentum to the economy of the country. Recently, the UAE government has also been promoting a tourism and knowledge-based economy to spur the economic momentum.

Working sector tourist sector

MICRO OVERVIEW Many visitors remark that the drive down Sheikh Zayed Road (Dubai’s main thoroughfare) is reminiscent of SimCity. Dubai is now taking the virtual analogy to the next level and is developing a city for the global citizen rather than the local population.

Dubai is perhaps the most virtual city in the world, driven by high levels of capital inflow and visitors, rather than a large local population.

The hub near Sheikh Zayed Road is primarily focused on people living outside the region to come over to work and make a living. The primary income of the Dubai is focused on tourists income, hence the region has alot of seasonal tourists site seeing various attraction.

MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AT WEEKDAYS

STUDENTS

During the weekdays, there is a lot of movement of people as students go to school and residents go to work and people come into the area to work in the offices in the area. People go to cafes to grab their morning coffee or have breakfast to start their day.

Tourist are coming in and out of the hotels to stay and explore different areas in Dubai. The metro station is packed full of people who are trying to commute to other parts of Dubai for their work and school. At the evenings people go back home and either spend their tiring day inside their homes or they go outside to a convenient cafe or restaurant. The roads are busy on the weekdays both morning and evening. At the night there is still a lot of activity.

Tourists are still out and about exploring different areas around Dubai. People may go out to buy groceries, relax, eat food, explore Dubai, and many other things as the day goes on. The area has a lot of convenience in terms of services and especially transport that encourages people to visit the site or go to other places around Dubai. During the evening there is a lot of activity happening, most people are on the move to their destinations. The restaurants are full of people talking and working.

On exiting the Financial Centre metro station, one is greeted by some very busy streets-

All set to start their quest to get to know the people of this district-

Seems like a ‘happening’ day where nobody has a moment to pause-

A short survey, just in time before her Careem arrived-

On entering the site, we noticed the parking lot was fully occupied.

As we encountered the parking security-

Do you like spending your weekends exploring Dubai, its wonders and the various events coming up?

I hail from Afghanistan, living near Gold Souk in Deira here. I come to work everyday by metro.

Where do you live, and how do you commute to work on a daily basis?

I’m a chef, and i live closeby here. It is convenient for me to walk to work everyday. I enjoy visiting Marina and Dubai mall on my weekends.

I usually spend my weekends clubbing with friends, working out, but if there was something in close vicinity, I’d love to check it out.

Being a full-time working professional, and taking up an online degree can get tiring often, so, Iike to spend my weekends at home.

I think culture is an important aspect in life and it is very crucial that one sticks to his roots and finds ways to celebrate his traditions.

Do you go sightseeing often?

What do your weekends look like?

What do you work as, and how do get to work everyday?

I live in Sonapur, Sharjah. I’m originally from Rajasthan. We have a bus that takes us from work, anddrops us back home everyday.

How do you feel about culture?

Where do you live, and how do you commute to work on a daily basis?

Personsally, if I were talking to someone, bringing up my cultural background would not be something i would prefer to discuss, as it coud possibly lead to setting up some boundaries between people. I think i’d rather experience things as a global citizen rather than being confined to my culture.

A difference in opinion?

Boarding their daily bus back home-

I’m a student, and find taxis convenient to commute from one place to another.

I’m here to give an interview, as a nurse in a pharmacy. I curreently live in Ajman.

As the sun sets, people start leaving DIFC after work.

CRESCENDO

NATIONAL ACADEMY MUSEUM OF ART AND DESIGN Come immerse yourself into the enchantment of sound

Sheikh Zayed Road was built soon after the union of UAE comprising of all the 7 emirates. It was thus a priority to make this area be symbolic of all the wealth and grandeur of Dubai. The rulers wanted the Sheikh Zayed Road to be an image that can portray to other countries the splendour and promising nature of Dubai.

This led to all the buildings lining the road to become prominent in their appearance. Each of these buildings were so flashy they were almost competing with each other seeking attention.

In my view, during this competition, these buildings lost their touch to the core essence of architecture - creating a dialogue with the external environment. All these buildings are completely isolated from the context and are purely focused on the element of verticality.

There is a complete lack of interaction between the internal and external environment as these tall concrete blocks populate the area.

In addition, the only indoor outdoor transitional interaction occurs at the frontage of the grounf floor.

The people of Sheikh Zayed Road often overlook their well-being and mental health amidst their busy schedules and lifestyles. This brought in the need of considering a way of healing passively in a way that these people would not need to take away time to look into their healing, however, it would work its effects passively without any investment of time.

Sound Bathing is one such concept wherein people are healed using sounds as it doesnt require to set aside time. Simply listening to certain sounds of specific frequencies would help calm the listeners down without any effort.

This theme of sound has influenced this museum from the form, facde skin, functions and spaces.

Crescendo is a materialisation of the “RHYTHM AND MOVEMENT” that sound and music spark to its listener.

The site was in dire need of breakaway from its existing rigid and closed off language, the project reimagines the nature of built forms in Sheikh Zayed Road through its fabric, theme, and functionalities.

Crescendo - the most exciting segment of a musical piece. This project aims to become the most prominent and exciting element in the musical piece that is Sheikh Zayed Road.

It acts as a reverse Crescendo in a way as in it is a relatively smaller project in contrast to the high rise towers in the vicinity. Sheikh Zayed Road is also most often experienced through a car - this gives the viewer a sense of it being high - paced and fast moving.

This project will serve as a reminder to the residents to take a break and pause from their busy schedules.

SVETA SATHYANADHAN < NAMAD < CRESCENDO < 13

LOCATING THE SITE EXISTING CHARACTER

These buildings existing on site are extremely rigid, boring and opaque. These are designed in complete ignorance and isolation from the external environment. Being cut off from the context, they behave as individual buildings that do not interact with the interior of the building.

The indoor - outdoor dialogue is only seen in the building frontages on the ground level of these buildings.

The upper floors are completely independant and do not interact at all with the external environment.

SEAMLESSNESS

A HASTE FOR GROWTH

HIGH PACED LIFES OPULENCE AN AMALGAMATION OF NATIONALITIES DIVERSE MOTIVES

Sheikh Zayed Road is populated by a variety of people hailing from diverse backgrounds of cultures, nationalties, beliefs and so on.

They come here to find work from around the world, and settle right in the hub of development here.

Ithouses relatively fewer families as compared to Karama, or Deira and this could possibly be due to the expenses of apartments.

The rush to develop is evident in the atmosphere of Sheikh Zayed Road. The community here are always found rushing to get to places of work and the people here live busy lives.

This leads to an opportunity to consider the well-being of these people and the community, to connect with themselves amidst their busy lives.

Reimagining healing through Soundand Design

Sound healing is an ancient meditative practice that uses different musical implements to create healing vibrations around the body in a meditative state.

Music is capable of bringing people together and often provokes a unified emotion in people.

AEOLUS SOUNDS AND THEIR INFLUENCE AEOLUS sounds are the sounds produced when wind hits surfaces. The project gains inspiration and is highly influenced by Aeolus sounds and the working principles behind how it produces sounds when passed through narrow pipes.

Interactive Aural Installations offer an interactive mood to the project. The sheer interest and curiosity of the visitors help captivate them and bring them back again next time.

MATERIALITY

TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION The initial statements and conclusions through site analysis calls for fluidity and a light - weight material that exudes openness and a dynamic interaction with the environment.

These requirements are well responded to by fabrics. It is adept in linking the technical needs and aesthetic understanding to create a harmonius balance.

MDT-Tex is one such material manufactured to provide these qualities. It is essentially a PTFE membrane held together by bespoke steel columns. This fabric is weather and heat - trearted and thus provides maximum comfort for this region.

The possibility of recycling and reusing this facade skin elevated the sustainability value of this material and proves its versitality.

WIND FLUTE The humming wind flute landscaping feature will be most responsive when fabricated out of metal. The sonorous nature and quality of metal will help release the most impactful sounds from the instrument.

BASEMENT CAFE The cafe serves as an element of economic sustainability by being a magnet and inviting visitors to the cafe even though they are not visiting the museum.

Every morning and evening, passers by would stop by the cafe to get a drink and catch up with friends and this serves as a passive income for the project.
