In terms of size and scale, this Master-Plan lies at the pivot point between Urban Architecture and Architectural Urbanism. It consists of a series of complimentary programmes and amenities, while it has been designed in a way to enable several property strategy scenaria.
It seeks to respond strategically to the specific forces and the latent potential of its context, thereby catalysing a positive transformation of the urban condition for the mutual benefit of both Project and Context. In terms of spatial organisation, the Project endows its Public Green Concession as a consolidated urban park-promenade along the waterfront, while behind this it structures a large Private Green Space – itself comprised by multiple amenities, themed gardens and landscape elements.
Collectively, this differentiated Network of (public and private) Open Spaces visually acts as a single performative epicentre of the Project, wherein all Master-Plan components are oriented towards. In this respect the high-rise parts of the Project work in a way to define and frame this void of designed ‘nature’. Typologically, the Master-Plan plays upon a variation of a theme in the ‘tower vs. slab’ dichotomy, wherein the advantages of both are instrumentalised – without severing the link between City and Sea.
