PROJECT DETAILS:
The Coastal Environment Section (CES) of Dubai Municipality (DM) has recognized that Dubai’s beaches
are an intrinsic part of the city’s image and attraction worldwide. Dubai’s beaches are an important
part of the municipality’s drive to promote healthy lifestyles and raise the Happiness Index. They
offer many different experiences to locals, expats, and visitors from around the world. Parsons will,
in conjunction with the client, develop and enhance the available activities, attractiveness, range
and quality of amenities, and image of the beaches, setting the standard at a global level.

Biomorphism, or the incorporation of natural existing elements
as inspiration in design, originated new possibilities within the
man-made environment and remains still inspiring today. The
shoreline and its microscopic structure have been the source
of inspiration both for the architectural language across the
beaches and its spatial arrangement. The “bubbles” cluster
constitute of canopies and amenity program will provide livable
spaces where shade and nature will live harmoniously together.
The compact clustering of “bubbles” optimizes the use of space
and provide protected shade area across, while branding Dubai
Beaches with its iconic appearance worldwide.
The observation of Nature and its micro-structure led the
creation of the design option, inspired by the bubble packing
arrangement in the seashore foam micro-structure. The
buildings will resonate the curvilinear language of the landscape
and create a harmonious cluster through which the visitors will
meander protected by the shade of the canopies.

The Architectural deployment of the
concept led to a range of service
buildings unified by the same language
and character and scalable in program.
The creation of a building “family”
will allow the flexible configuration of
service clusters (amenities gardens)
equipped with a diverse range of
services and different always from
each other.

The overall landscape framework consists of the following key
elements:
- The Plaza is an event space created by the removal of the existing
amphitheater stage. This space naturally works in combination
with the Innovation Lab and the surrounding landscape to create
a space for public events. A smart fountain animates the stage
(when events are not taking place) with interactive water jets
and colors.
- The Amphitheater is an existing feature that gets integrated in
the new landscape proposal. This feature gets re-purposed to act
as an urban theatre.
- The Central Plaza is the landscape hub and contains an
interactive water feature. It is located at the highest level of
the Park and easily accessible from two large ramps located at
its ends.
The Building will be located in a
prominent area of the Park, easily
accessible from ADM premises, and will
provide 2 different accesses: one, mainly
for public access, leading to public
programs and events areas as well ad
the library. Another, strictly accessible
for the employees, will directly connect
to the main offices and dashboard. The
public and private ares will be interfacing
along the height of the building allowing
independent functioning while permitting
the visitors to look into the smart
technologies functioning , overlooking
offices and dashboard revealing the
building “apparent mechanism”.

The project tectonics has been inspired by the Lettuce Coral formation (Agaricia agaricites), which is widely present in the Red Sea waters.
This initial proposal is meant to interpret with its facade and landscape a coral formation along the coast line of the red sea. The building
language is a system of canopies cantilevering and partially overlapping, creating a clustering of interconnected buildings.

PROJECT DETAILS:
The project vision is to create a well-integrated researchers’ community, well connected with its
surroundings, and blended with modern trends.
The mixed-use proposal will encompass different program and uses. The scheme will be constituted
of 3 major components:
• National Center for Excellence in supply chain and logistics services
• Research Center Building
• MAX 3D Science Dome
Those functions combined into a 2 story building. The parking area will be set underground connected
through the building cores.

Five distinct character areas have been
identified that will respond to the context and
adjacencies of the site. The character areas
are defined by a range of building typologies,
public realm and open space, accessibility,
urban grain and volume of the development.
These character areas will guide the building
typologies ensuring an overall massing and
urban grain reflective of the master plan
vision.
The development is divided into multiple character areas these
character areas will provide a diverse range of uses and life style
living products. These character areas will be as follows;
1. The Transit Oriented Development (TOD Quarter) including the
underground metro station, Over Station Development, sunken
plaza, high-rise mixed-use towers, landmark tower and a convention
center.
2. The TOD residence quarter which will include luxury residential
towers with podium that conveys retail, food and beverage, duplex
podium villas and parking.
3. The Entertainment Quarter, which will include high end retail
with big box entertainment attractions in addition to hospitality and
public amenities along the canal promenade. The canal edge will

activities and is strengthened by a grand iconic mosque.
5. The Boulevard, which will include mid-rise residential towers
with retail and podium parking.

PROJECT DETAILS:
The Creek Harbor Iconic Mosque’s proposal stems from the idea of a spiritual place immersed in
landscape and light, where worshippers can find peace through meditation and observation of nature.
The proposal is not only focusing on a single building but on a holistic built system: the mosque
and its surroundings are conceived as a place for prayer and relaxation, a public park where the
inhabitants can stroll under the outdoor canopies’ shade and observe the flora and fauna within the
natural reserve.

The overarching building shape is reminiscent of
mosque domes from architectural tradition, while its
composition, made of different smaller units, creates
a whole grander unified space. This design language
will generate a new, iconic, and recognizable
building complex that will add a distinct landmark
to the Creek Harbor Masterplan, attracting people to
the area, not only for religious purposes but to be
immersed in the natural park’s surrounding.
The threshold between the internal and external
space is dissolved in a series of pavilions, integrating
the mosque in its surrounding landscape. Both
Architecture and Landscape merge through
progressive water bodies and vegetation pockets,
gradually bringing the flora and fauna into the
building in a seamless manner.

PROJECT DETAILS:
The design brief requested for a mixed-use development comprising four and five star hotels with
service apartments together with independent offices. The design approach adopted in this initial
study is to have an integrated scheme where there is one holistic seamless solution to the overall
form and appearance of the building and where each compliments and works well with the other.
The proposed design of the two blocks is intended to be bold and accentuating the dynamic form of
movement through its form and sweeping canopies.

The layout of the two parallel blocks curving away
from each other has been intentionally set out to
take advantage of spectacular views of the Grand
Mosque very near by as well as the Jebel Bawshar
mountain range on the south side of the development
from the terraces as well as the upper levels.
The space is inviting the visitor to experience the
place in its full extent and the porous nature of
the building creates dynamic interplay of light and
shadow. The terracing ground floor space gives
access to Restaurant, Shops and the Hotels and

PROJECT DETAILS:
The MUCZ (Mixed Use Commercial Zone) Consultant Team was retained by Amlak to undertake a
concept master plan of a 30.7 hectare site within the existing master plan of Education City. The
purpose of the concept master plan is to examine the ‘highest and best use’ for the site. The site has
a current designation of mixed use metropolitan development. It is seen as an active hub to provide
a more active and around the clock destination to Education City a predominantly day time campus.

Education City Master Plan

Education City itself is a mixture of higher education campuses, health care,
research, cultural and leisure amenities. In land use terms with its leisure and
sporting facilities it is less of an education campus although in base GFAterms higher
education and event space are the dominant areas. Within the current Education
City master plan there is not an urban mixed use commercial development that
provides a spectrum of residential, commercial office, retail and entertainment
amenities.
This Master Plan explores the optimum urban grid for this type of mixed use
development. The GFA is 520,420 sqm with an average district FAR just below
2. The design balances the building massing and street widths to provide a well
developed but distinctly urban development in character. It seeks to provide a
density that enables easy pedestrian connections with workable scale commercial
districts that have sufficient critical mass to drive retail land uses.

Synapses
The Synapse structure is adopted to help define the hierarchy
of pedestrianised open spaces across the master plan. The
synapse concept is also used to define how each open space is
connected to another.
General Courtyard System
Public, commercial and mixed use areas are centralized
around large courtyards. A secondary network of more private
residential courtyards spill off from the larger more public
plazas.
This diagram shows how the two systems; the courtyard and
synapse, are overlapped and integrated with one another.
When combined the two structures form a more dynamic
building mass and landscape arrangement.

PROJECT CONCEPT
The basic idea was to develop a design that could preserve as much “green” park space as possible.
The proposal takes each of the facility buildings and simply organizes them around an ‘organic core’.
The function of this is further optimized with the location of the ‘Student Centre’ directly in the
middle of the plot, creating a communal gathering area. The university building should dip down
in the South corner of the site and raise to its highest point in the North. This will allow for light
to penetrate the park space as well as making an opportunity of creating a roofscape accessible to
pedestrians.

ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH
The idea for the overall architectural dialogue was derived from understanding pedestrian flows
to and from the site. The aspiration was for a logical development that allows users to flow under,
through and around its buildings. This continuous sloping structure that starts at the South end with
two levels and ends with six levels at the North is divided along its central axis by a long glazed
atrium into two parallel stripes. The main facade of the Science Center is oriented parallel with
the Boulevard of Art and reinforces the street edge with a built form. The main mass of the building
floats above the ground plane creating a grand pedestrian passage to the heart of the Science Center
Campus. Additionally the main mass of the building is oriented towards the urban areas to the South
to buffer the galleries and main program areas from the noise of the Arsenija Carnojevica Boulevard
Highway. This hovering mass is divided into 3 distinct zones. Public Lobby and Reception space in
the center, Galleries to the west, and Educational and Assembly spaces situated to the east. Central
to this constellation of nodes is the Planetarium which is surrounded by main entry, ticketing and
main arrival hall. Supported with a stainless steel column and bridges the Planetarium floats above a
sunken pool connecting to the main public parking level below. The main public program is situated
on the second floor and floats over the ground plane. Ascending upwards around the Planetarium
visitors are centered within the space and are drawn into the Planetarium for orientation and a film
screening. The Gallery Arm is situated to the west and is organized into 5 distinctly shaped gallery
bays of varying scale and height organized around the multistory Temporary Gallery Atrium.

PROJECT GOALS:
Ahead of the preparation for the World Basketball Championship in Belgrade, the organizers set a
task to design a complex for Basketball University, which would consist of the campus, a hotel for
students and lecturers, an arena for an audience of 2,000 and the administrative section along with
sales and hospitality functions.
DESIGN:
The architecture of the building comes from a desire to create a new symbol of Belgrade, a new
type of architecture for the city which would challenge, invite and stand out. The basic space of
the complex is within two egg-shaped objects, imitating pebbles found on the river bank. These are
placed on the rectangular plateau with covered parking and which with its front, covers the sand
bank and forms a terrace above the greenery. The egg-shaped buildings are placed in such a way that
they open their view to the river, and with their placement direct the visitors’ attention towards the
front of the plateau and the river.
