Project idea

The time has come for architecture to be oriented towards world crisis problems .All the recent developments and the struggle of refugees coming from different countries, has made us think that architecture as a discipline with a great intellectual depth should serve and treat everyone equally and turn its role as an architecture for humanity.We have created a neighborhood that promotes equal treatment for all and raises awareness for both sides, those who welcome the refugees and refugees themselves. Usually we find it difficult to accept changes in our society, we tend to show a sense of selfishness towards them and precisely on these questions the concept of communal planning and living is being established

Project description

These houses are linked to each other through the so-called "Cooperation Tunnel", an architectural intervention that symbolically conveys the linkage message created between residents. Furthermore this would help to the cultivation of a common garden, whose products can be sent to local brands with writing description such as "From Syria with Love", "We made it till here", or other examples that show refugee’s sacrifice and reflect the effort they have made to achieve at this point
Project tends to make locals share their time in public spaces with people who left their homeland just to be secure.Merging these groups into a common neighborhood that is specially designed to solve this problem makes it possible to restore the human values of our society.

The future of architecture is in contrast to snobbery, the future of architecture is the treatment of those who cannot speak up for themselves.

Technical information

The neighborhood consists of 8 houses which include 4 types, such as:A (2 members), B ( 4 members), C ( 6 members) and D (8 members) , they can be added based on the number of residents we intend to accommodate.
