While the conceptual foundation of the project—drawing from wind movement and wave forms—is interesting, its translation into architectural language remains superficial. The formal massing does not convincingly express the fluidity or dynamism intended, and the spatial quality feels somewhat unresolved. There is a disconnect between the architectural elements and the contextual richness of the port area, especially considering the cultural and historical significance of Benghazi’s waterfront.
The internal functional organization lacks clarity, and circulation strategies are not clearly communicated in the presentation. Additionally, while the design aspires to create a vibrant tourist destination, the visual language and spatial layout appear generic and do not demonstrate strong place-making strategies. Environmental responsiveness is suggested through form but not substantiated with passive or active strategies for climate control.
To strengthen the project’s impact, a deeper investigation into the cultural, historical, and urban context of Benghazi is advised. The design could benefit from a clearer spatial program and improved interaction between built volumes and the waterfront. Applying environmental design strategies—such as passive ventilation, shading, and locally appropriate materials—could also improve both functionality and sustainability. Ultimately, a more grounded and contextual approach would enhance the project’s relevance and architectural value.
Revitalization of Benghazi Port for tourism use
Idea projektu
The design conapt of the mass is Simulating wind movement at the site by guiding the mass smoothly with the direction of the wind, and also to express natural factors in the site such as waves through sky lights and it’s inversion inside the plan of the satiation
Popis projektu
the project objectives : • Designing a project that represents a future vision for the development of domestic tourism in Benghazi. • Developing the components of the port to be a tourist area that raises the quality of projects on the coastal strip. • Creating a civilized, tourist and recreational space on the waterfront of the city. • Providing a station for international and local cruises.
