Technical information

Using local resources material :basalt and lime stone to enhance architectural identity of building facades ,insertion green wall and roof compulsory order . setting up building codes to organize the city,and design wayfinding and visual map to alazraq .to self-reliance community and decrease outcome and economic increase . mobility depending on bikes riding so should bike lane provided to street and safety warranty,better solution and using local resources ,mixed use building and so on . By following three steps (Data &analysis-Design Implementation-Codes ) . Implementation through three phases . phase one if there's no funding so solutions are easy and available . phase two should take stakeholders permission . phase three after find findings to economic grow up.

El Destino

Este proyecto presenta una intervención urbana reflexiva dirigida a revitalizar Al-Azraq, una ciudad histórica pero económicamente desafiada en Jordania. Al transformar el área que rodea el Castillo de Al-Azraq en una zona vibrante y amigable para peatones, el diseño busca estimular la actividad económica local y mejorar el compromiso comunitario. La propuesta introduce un bulevar lineal que presenta puestos de comida, áreas de descanso y jardines comunitarios, fomentando la interacción social y proporcionando oportunidades para vendedores locales. La integración de experiencias culinarias tradicionales permite a los turistas interactuar con la cultura local, potencialmente extendiendo su estadía e impacto en la economía local. El uso de materiales locales como basalto y caliza no solo refuerza la identidad arquitectónica del área sino que también promueve la sostenibilidad. La estrategia de implementación por fases del proyecto demuestra un enfoque práctico del desarrollo urbano, considerando niveles variables de financiamiento y participación de las partes interesadas. Si bien el marco conceptual es loable, un mayor desarrollo en los detalles arquitectónicos y la articulación espacial mejoraría la viabilidad e impacto del proyecto. Planos detallados que ilustren la circulación, opciones de materiales y métodos de construcción proporcionarían una comprensión más completa de la funcionalidad del diseño. En general, "The Destination" ofrece una visión prometedora para la regeneración urbana centrada en la comunidad, equilibrando la preservación cultural con la revitalización económica. Con refinamiento adicional, tiene el potencial de servir como modelo para el desarrollo sostenible en contextos similares.
