Lifestyle standards in Ain El Remmene have been decreasing over time, infecting the entire area with stress, substandard living conditions and bad health. One of the main factors for this second rate quality is the traumas from past wars.
I took this project as a challenge to ameliorate the environment they live in, to enhance and to refine their quality of life. After all if you can emprove our lives and lead healthier life styles our mental and physical wellbeing will be much better off.
Public spaces, nowadays, have a huge impact on social welfare; especially that people spend most of their days at work, leading hopeless lives. Families in Ain El Remmeneh haven’t got any escape from their monotonous routines, no time to bond or explore any of their hidden talents.
Moreover, the area is filled with non-ecological, non-sustainable facades, with no green spaces to freshen up the air. Pollution contaminated their living space, giving no room for a healthy lifestyle.
What I am building, is a multifunctional project, that connects the people of all ages.
With green, planted roofs that provide not only more sustainability, but also reduce the pollution in the area and all around it; the project is a center point for ecological housing, offices and entertainment zones.
Bicycle paths distributed around the project gives ways to reach all of our four different cultural and leisure zones.
A sports zone for teens and young adults, an educational and fun zone for kids of all ages, a cultural zone that provides an insight on past cultures for all the scholars and families and a clean space.
To break the wheel of stress & nature, the centre prioritises sensibility and functionality to give the residents, employees and visitors a fresh experience, stress free, fun and educational to fit all generations and bring out maximum efficiency.
Although this project is only a prototype, one that may not change the world no matter how much we want it to, it paves the way to further projects all around the polluted and stress-plagued country we live in.
It certainly gives the residents of Ain El Remmeneh hope for a better, more affordable and ecological life.
