In our project, we had to deal with two very controversial realities, the land and the ocean . We started by thinking what these two realities provide to each other , in order to relate and connect them.

As a result, we are dealing more with creating a public space between them , which has a role of a “negotiation field”  

A deep thought on human interactions with physical as well as spiritual connections, density and balance of public and private space, has shown us the way to come up with the specific proposal for a city combining two so different natural elements.  

 And here is the pdf file dual-city-blog.pdf

here are the six panels of the final presentation_

To reduce the footprint of the city it is important to reduce sprawl by building up instead of out, as well as reducing automobile infrastructure, by creating more dynamic systems for pedestrians and bicycles. Reducing infrastructure can also be done by creating an efficient central nucleus of public spaces that can be used by the entire community. A Hierarchy of multi dimensional spaces: conference rooms with fine arts, a public library with private cafe, gymnasiums for the local school and business as well. Endless combinations of uses to create spaces that can be used by the entire community for any need.

The basic idea of mixing uses in terms of plan as well as vertically(building up) and the idea off adding spaces according to the needs at a specific moment, lead up to the our first attempt to design a building unit. This unit will start forming from a central core, where spaces of different uses will be added. This core will be the source of energy for each building (wind turbines). In order to reduce its footprint, our task will be to design the city for minimum infrastructure and energy consumption.

During this week we intended to organize our city into the suggested site. In the proposal described above the charging nodes are close to one another. The fixed parts of the city are organized as landscape buildings, forming a connecting surface above. The removable parts, which are the nomad dwellings can be placed on scaffold towers.
