Statement:

Our Project addresses rehabilitation on a both social and physical aspect. Karm El Zeitoun has an abundance of staircases due to its topography. Stairs are usually used as a necessary activity, their main function is to let the dweller go to one place to another. In addition, in Karm El Zeitoun stairs are being semi-privatized by the residents, transforming them into semi-private spaces. Our strategy is to activate these stairs in order to let them have a social aspect in addition to their necessary usage. Plug-in will be added to the staircases, creating passages from one event to another. Each event defines the space and leads to the other. The events taking place in each part of Karm El Zeitoun will rehabilitate the residents socially, mentally or physically. These events also activate the areas on the edge of Karm El Zeitoun, inviting neighboring blocks and blurring the edges around the neighborhood
