Statement:

Isolation, Circulation and Verticality were the main points we tackled in our research.
Our research included bringing the youth to revive the area. Since a university is opening soon, we wanted to make use of the centralized commercial activity on the main-street and use that to connect between the university and the previously dead space and the misused green field. Our idea was to turn the dead space into a community and a student center.
Additionally, we wanted to activate the dead ends and secondary streets at Karm el Zeytoun, therefore we wanted to make use of the voids between residences and create public inter-generational and interactive spaces. Additionally, we wanted to make use of the abandoned houses as residential spaces for these students.
In conclusion, by further activating the economic street and the secondary streets, we are creating varying possible routes for the students and thus enhancing their university experience and interactions.
