The research has started off with the data presented the areas running along with a sea shore with Bpotentiality of flooding. Moreover, the waters embracing the eastern shore of the peninsular have a salty quality gaining from the gulf.
Using the salty water as a production and landscape advantage, we have come up with a potential plan for salt evaporation and using it for industrial purposes. Considering the proximity of the salines, the industries around will be re-programed to the salt packaging and food preservation. The very specific landscape may form the showcase – like experience for the dwellers and the passers. As well as new potential for the new flora and fauna species.
The labor ideas is also explained by the vicinity of the correction center. As proposed, the rehabilitation facilities will be placed around that would intergrade the micro – society into industrial area.
In order not to loose the relation with the city, we have modified the public water ways coming from Manhattan, bike lanes along the shore connection the“ green / natural belt” stretching from west to north east and the activities around the shore: the marinas, seasonal theater, sports and leisure.
Respecting the typical western city urban grid, we have articulated the diagonal vehicular way, prolonging existing one, and making a pedestrian walkway towards the waterfront, and finalizing it with a statement structures with a concrete pedestals extending to the waters; the horizontal part now appeared to be dedicated to the industrial programs, the perpendicular secondary axis would“ forcefully” filled with live, hence, the domestic dwelling would be populated there. The main road arteries are to meet at the central plaza, which supposed to serve as mainly commercial center for both workers and dwellers. |
