Since its incorporation in 2000, Elk Grove has

been one of the fastest growing suburbs in

the Sacramento Region, more than doubling

its population and adding nearly 40,000

jobs. Over the last several years, the City

has made a concerted effort to improve its

job-housing balance, undertaking initiatives

designed to provide shovel-ready sites for

development and to attract employment

generating uses. With a large concentration

of State of California employees residing

in the City, the City has aggressively and

successfully pursued attraction of State

office users, with the siting of the California

Correctional Health Services Agency

offering a major victory in that regard.

Major growth in the healthcare sector,

including the upcoming opening of the

California North State University medical

school, continued growth of the Apple

manufacturing facility, and consolidation

of USCB America’s Northern California

headquarters in Elk Grove, among other

developments, have led the City to approach

a jobs-housing ratio of 1.0.

The Kammerer Road Urban Corridor Design

study seeks to build on this momentum

by ensuring that the City offers adequate

opportunities to attract employment

generating uses in a land use context

appealing to consumer (i.e., employee and

employer) preferences. Millennial consumer

preferences are driving trends relating

to urban-style development in suburban

contexts. With home ownership opportunities

in major urban centers out of reach for most

millennial first-time buyers, options that offer

similar urban style living in the suburbs are

increasing in popularity. Urban/suburban

environments such as these offer the

benefits of more attainable home ownership

opportunities, good schools, community

amenities, reduced commute times, and

quality retail within the walkable and mixeduse

contexts desired by consumers.

Store-front Design in Old Town

Last century, if one built a cluster of office

parks with an acceptably large floor plate,

wet and dry laboratory spaces for bio-tech

and pharmaceuticals companies, sufficient

fiber and communications lines for IT

startups, back-up power for server farms,

and open seating plans for programmers,

then added a few built-in recreation spaces

for the young ‘creatives’ and shrouded the

ensemble in a swath of green infrastructure,

a “high-tech” research park was born. This

is, in effect, the recipe for Silicon Valley,

California, a mid-to-late 20th century vision

of the future, but one that is now being

seriously rethought.

The epicenters of advanced research and

application of the sciences and technologies

that will survive through the 21st Century

and beyond must be set in an exciting,

vibrant community with great quality-of-life

amenities that will attract and retain the

best and the brightest in their respective

disciplines.

# TRANSIT ORIENT DEVELOPMENT (TOD)

# WALKUPS

INTERSECTION DENSITY

PARKING

TRANSECT OF URBANISM

“Transit Oriented Development” (TOD)

is a growth strategy characterized by

equal parts Density, Diversity, Design and

Destination (the “four-Ds”). The obvious

objective is to bring people and businesses

close enough to transportation to make

that transit vital, i.e., to create a situation in

which transit is used to get folks from home

to work, to school, to shopping and even to

recreational opportunities. Each trip made

this way is one less automobile on the road.

Moreover, when TOD includes a healthy

mix of work force and affordable housing it

is more likely that equitable access to the

benefits a local economy has to offer, such

as jobs, educations and social services

will be achieved. An increasing body of

research suggests that economies are more

resilient when they achieve greater access

for everyone.

DENSITY TODs can come in all shapes,

sizes and densities. What is important is

that there is a finely grained mix of uses,

and building types, support vibrant subneighborhoods.

At the scale of the individual

Major urban center

Urban boulevard

Urban center

Neighborhood center

block, buildings or even parts of buildings

might be thought of as having individual

densities, some high and some low, such

that when aggregated the entire ensemble

provides a blended density consistent with

pro forma expectations without looking

monolithic. Even buildings that account for

an entire block are composed in recognition

the hierarchy of streets along its perimeter

as well as the scale of buildings lining those

streets on the opposite side. Such mixeddensity

and mixed compositional strategies

are not necessarily simple, but very often

they add intrinsic as well as economic value.

In order to meet varying market conditions,

a program of graduated densities that allow

lower density, less expensive building types,

further from transit stations to be constructed

first, thereby preserving closer-in land for

later development, when market conditions

may be more supportive. Alternatively,

close-in developments may be developed

to be phasable, for example, allowing

surface parking in early stages, followed

by a development that fills-in the parking

later on, with the inclusion of more expense

structured parking scenarios.

DIVERSITY The Livable Employment

Center is diverse and include a mix of

places to work, live, learn, shop and play

-- all within a walkable area. These mixeduse

communities are more resilient and

engender collaboration - one of the hallmarks

of the modern employment center Diversity

can exist along a cross-section of an entire

Neighborhood (known as the transect of

urbanism) regardless of who owns which

parcel of land or even when it is developed.

In other words, not every building needs

to be mixed-use for the diversity of a

neighborhood to emerge.

DESIGN TOD planning is urban design.

Seen in that light, Design does not necessarily

refer to the composition of the individual

building (though that surely plays a part).

Rather, Design refers to the crafting of the

spatial experience of the street, in general

and the sidewalk in particular as constituent

elements of the public realm. The goal

here is not merely to make a project that

supports transit, but to provide the envelope

within which a community may flourish.

In this domain, it is critical that adequate

space is given to the sidewalk, gently

embracing it with buildings and landscapes

that are pleasant and welcoming. The

street/sidewalk ensemble should be lined

with buildings that are deferential to their

neighbors. Such buildings that are not iconic

in themselves but are hybridized and part of

the fabric that frame great streets - enablers

of iconic spaces.

Design also refers to the concept of “urban

transparency”, where a pedestrian has the

opportunity of looking, not at blank walls,

parking garages or endless lengths of

unbroken facades. Rather, it is a condition

in which a pedestrian’s experience is

continuously stimulated by views into

storefronts and courtyards, or through

landscapes to spaces beyond or between

buildings where walkways grant access

to more recessed courtyards or private

spaces. Pathways and open spaces where

people walk (the sidewalks, lanes and public

open spaces) are appropriately shaded and

scaled. At the building scale, we design to

support pedestrian activity through detail

that is best experienced at the speed of

three-miles per hour, and those buildings

have enough activity at the ground floor to

create “friction,” within the pedestrian realm.

DESTINATION Just as every community

has its own character, it follows that the

very special places within and around them

should be unique -- calibrated to the scale,

the density and the aspirations of or for that

particular community. Not only are the place’s

physical characteristics significant, but so

are the social and economic characteristics

of the adjacent communities. Creating

memorable and appealing destination –

placemaking -- is the opposite of formulaic.

Rather, it requires the adoption of unique

design approaches that creatively address

the issue of density, diversity and design in

a site-specific manner.

Flexibility and nuance must be built into

the planning process so that, over time, a

larger vision for urban form structure, and

movement, tailored to the place, can be

realized. Ultimately, the unique ‘identity’ of

a place bears the indigenous characteristics

of the surrounding neighborhoods – their

locations, site conditions, development

characteristics and potentials, histories

and communities, and natural and

sustainable resources. Urban design,

transportation, development program,

even branding strategies, will build upon

these characteristics, enhancing and

strengthening them to establish high-value

destinations and a powerful “sense of place”.

TOD : Connecting People to Assets

R E S E A R C H

Walkable Urban Places (WalkUPs) is a term

developed around a real estate trend that

saw walkable urbanism outperform (from an

economic perspective) other forms of real

estate throughout North America.

Foot Traffic Ahead, Ranking Walkable

Urbanism in America’s Largest Metros –

2019 is the latest edition of a report that

analyzes development based on whether it

meets criteria for mixed-use, walkable urban

centers—referred to as “walkable urban”; as

opposed to automobile-oriented commercial

development—which the authors call

“drivable suburban.” Both of these types of

development can occur in either central city

or suburban locations.

The walkable urban and drivable suburban

dichotomy provides a better method of

real estate analysis today than the typical

categorization of central city, suburban,

exurban locations, the authors contend.

WalkUPs take up little land in a metro area,

but they have an outsized impact on the

economy.

49 percent GDP per capita “premium” in the

most highly walkable U.S. urban metros over

the least walkable urban metros.

The characteristics of WalkUPs are similar

to those of TODs, except that high-quality

transit itself is not necessarily the identifying

factor. Walkable Urbanism is possible even

without high-quality transit as long as the

factors identified below are present:

• Compact in Size (A neighborhood is

5-minute walk from center to edge)

• Diversity of Uses

• Interconnected Street Grid with high

Intersection Density

• Streets are ‘complete’

• Pedestrian Comfort is Prioritized

• Street edges are continuous (few if

any breaks created by vacant lots, and

surface parking lots)

• Public Realm is designed for safety

beliefs of urbanism: the idea that cities will be

stronger going into the future if they eschew

“drivable suburban” for “walkable urban”

Design - makes a great public realm - walkable

Intersection density is the number of

intersections in an area. It corresponds

closely to block size - the greater the

intersection density, the smaller the blocks.

Small blocks correlate with walkable urban

places. But why should this be the case?

Because the short block size provides

walkers with numerous opportunities to

vary their route, to investigate interesting

activities or features, and to shorten or

lengthen their walk without retracing their

steps along the same roads. In contrast, in

hierarchical street networks with curvilinear

streets and cul-de-sacs, walkers have fewer

route options, opportunities to change

direction are some distance apart (and often

out of sight around curves), In addition,

such loop and cul-de-sac patterns will

typically require travel on an arterial road

to reach geographically close locations,

which in most cases are designed not to

be pedestrian friendly. Though intersection

density is just one facet of walkability, it

is an important one. This diagram shows

three street layouts - extremely walkable,

moderately walkable, and unwalkable - with

their counts of intersections per square mile:

SAFETY

Studies have found increased traffic

collisions in neighborhoods with large

arterial roadways. These designs are

more dangerous for motorists as well as

pedestrians and cyclists, when compared to

pedestrian- oriented street networks, where

frequent cross traffic encourages slower

and more cautious driving. A study of 24

medium-sized California cities (including

Davis and West Sacramento) found that

safer cities (with 1/3 the traffic fatalities of

less safe cities, had double the intersectiondensity

density. Moreover, they had larger

percentages of people walking, biking and

using transit than less safe cities.

Moreover, intersection density also seemed

to play a role within a city not just between

different cities. An analysis of Davis, CA

showed, that areas of town with the highest

intersection densities, had half as many

traffic fatalities as those areas with the

lowest densities.

TRANSIT USE

Scientific Research has shown that of

all the built environment measurements,

intersection density has the largest effect

on walking — more than population density,

distance to a store, distance to a transit

stop, or jobs within one mile. Intersection

density also has large effects on transit use

and the amount of driving. In other words,

intersection density is the most important

factor for walking and one of the most

important factors for increasing transit use

and reducing miles driven.

ENVIRONMENT

Finally, research indicates that higher street

intersection density has environmental

benefits. Numerous studies have shown that

people living in neighborhoods with higher

street intersection density tend to drive less

and walk and take transit more. A recent

study found that vehicle miles traveled are

most strongly associated with accessibility

to destinations and with street network

design variables.

LAND USE DENSITIES

Most urban-style employment centers utilize

a form-based code with minimum FARs that

vary by location with densities increasing

towards the center of the planning area and

many do not place any height restrictions on

development. Residential density minimums

are typically 20 units per acre.

R E S E A R C H

Critical to the calculation of density in any

urban environment is the amount of parking

to be accommodated (usually calculated as a

function of # of spaces/sq. foot of building) and

the arrangement of the parking (on a surface

parking lot or in a garage). For example, in

suburban commercial environments where

parking is accommodated in surface lots, it

is not uncommon for 60 - 65% of the land

area of a project to be devoted to parking

cars. Therefore, any discussion of density

is inextricably related to parking.

LOWER DENSITY (T3 & T4)

In lower density employment centers, for

example those in T3 areas and lower density

T4 areas, surface parking lots are the norm as

densities do not justify the increased cost of

building parking garages. However, surface

lots often destroy the sense of enclosure

within the public realm, disallowing “civic

rooms” by their lack of spatial definition.

For economic reasons, surface lots are

also rarely implemented with a level of

detail that befits a public plaza. Therefore,

in walkable urban environments surface lots

it is advisable to separate lots from primary

street frontages by buildings and for these

parking lots to be screened from secondary

street frontages with screening devices such

as fences, walls or hedges when buildings

are not feasible along those edges.

Our aim is not to create a density mix similar to a

downtown but to reimagine the typical low rise and low

density suburban neighborhoods with a more densified

suburban neighborhood to achieve more units per acre,

a more walkable neighborhood, a possibility to include

amenities and introduce transit, and require less surface

parking lot areas, etc.

Anchor Tenants

Include a mix of uses (both horizontally

and vertically) that includes employment

generating uses, experiential retail and

entertainment amenities, convenience

retail (grocery/pharmacy) hospitality and

conference center facilities, and housing.

Integration of a variety of residential uses

at various densities is a particularly critical

component of successful districts. Lower

density industrial/flex uses are typically

positioned on the edges of the planning

area.

LAND USE DENSITIES

Most urban-style employment centers utilize

a form-based code with minimum FARs that

vary by location with densities increasing

towards the center of the planning area and

many do not place any height restrictions on

development. Residential density minimums

are typically 20 units per acre.

ACCESS TO LARGER JOB

MARKETS

Urban style employment centers in a

suburban context tend to benefit from

access to larger job markets, with major

employment centers and business districts

typically located within 10-20 miles.

Successful urban-style employment

centers are typically able to secure rental

premiums ranging from 15 to 50 percent

over traditional suburban development

with vacancy rates falling between 1 to 10

percentage points lower than traditional

suburban development. Developers also

benefit from lower land acquisition values as

compared to major employment centers in

an urban context.

ANCHOR TENANTS

The presence of a major anchor user can

catalyze absorption of employment center

uses. Often the presence of a major

institutional user (education, medical, etc.)

is a major factor in terms of generating

technology transfer opportunities and

spin off employment as well as producing

a workforce with employer-desired skills

and attributes. Where institutional users

are not present, “micro-institutions” or an

agglomeration of related industry users may

emerge to drive the growth of employment

uses.

Seek to minimize the negative environmental

impact of buildings by efficiency and

moderation in the use of materials, energy,

and development space and the ecosystem

at large, and use a conscious approach to

energy and ecological conservation in the

design of the built environment.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable power is the backbone of any

development that aims to be sustainable.

The ability of renewable energy to compete

effectively against the older fossil fuel

technologies is coming as a result of

consistent falls in the cost of new plants.

The most attractive renewable energy

sources, from a cost perspective, are

onshore wind and solar PV.

GREEN PARKING LOTS

BENEFITS

They improve water quality. Increase

groundwater supply. Reduce the urban heat

island effect. Less heat generated.

Re-absorption of water into the ground for

recharge. Remove sediments and other

pollutants. Provide effective storm-water

management.

A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building

that is partially or completely covered with

vegetation and a growing medium, planted

over a waterproofing membrane. It may

also include additional layers such as a root

barrier and drainage and irrigation systems.

DAYLIGHTING

Daylighting has been touted for its many

aesthetic and health benefits by designers

and researchers alike.

Utilizing natural light can lead to substantial

energy savings. Electric lighting in buildings

consumes more than 15 percent of all

electricity generated

PARKING

Minimum FARs will discourage surface

parking. District-wide parking strategies (e.g.

offsite parking structure) can help individual

projects minimize costs associated with

structured parking.

PLACE MAKING, BRANDING &

IDENTITY

Elk Grove’s agricultural history remains a

strong part of the community’s identity, in

spite of the reduced amount of agricultural

land in the Planning Area.

The aim is to identify the character and

identity of neighborhoods, protecting historic

and cultural resources, promoting arts and

culture, providing public open spaces and

recreational facilities, and conserving the

environment and natural resources.

The City’s identity and brand, and its sense of

place is to make it an appealing destination

PEDESTRIAN-PRIORITY

A shared street is often referred to as a

“pedestrian-priority street,” or, in residential

areas, as a “home zone.” They are usually

local-access, narrow streets without curbs

and sidewalks, and vehicles are slowed by

placing trees, planters, parking areas, and

other obstacles in the street.

Introduction

Masdar as a Desirable Lifestyle Choice

Introduction

Project Brief

Introduction

Project Positioning

Masdar City is recognised around the world as a

exemplar of sustainable cities of the future, but now

it has to re-imagine the city as a desiderable place

to live with an attractive Real Estate offering.

A number of real questions emphasise the difficulty

of positioning Masdar as a lifestyle destination.

We can all presume that Masdar is a benchmark

of sustainable living but how do we get people to

want to actually live here? How do we get people to

lease property here considering all the other lifestyle

products on the market in Abu Dhabi?

Currently most people living here are students or

faculty members so should Masdar City become a

Creative University City like Bologna or Oxford?

Is proximity to the Airport something that is a

competitive advantage? How do we create lifestyle

that one can market against other Abu Dhabi

developments?

Building on the best Traditions of Arab Cities

The concept of Masdar City is based on the

model of many of the traditional cities of the

Arab World. Cities like Damascus, Aleppo, Fez,

Marrakech, Muscat, Amman, and Shibham

provide real-world examples of highly liveable

and sustainable city models. Those cities have

typical characteristics like:

– Intimate deeply shaded streets

– Communal squares and Barahas

– Street retailing and cafe’s

– Souk as a heart of daily life

– Lively and active public realm

– High Density with a compact public realm

– Modest presence of water and vegetation

– Small unexpected corners of space where

chance meetings can occur

– Neighbourhoods anchored by Town Squares

often with Mosques

– Low rise buildings

Many of these essential components are already

well suited to the Masdar Masterplan. In

contrast most other contemporary developments

concentrate on large wide-open spaces and

grandiose civic space. This is clearly a key,

unique strength for Masdar.

Masdar as a Creative City / University Town

Universities and University Towns have served

as magnets for talented, creative people and

young energetic urban populations because of

their vibrancy. Their bohemian appeal extends

well beyond just students and faculty and is

appealing to young upwardly mobile populations.

In addition they become well known as

crucibles of creativity with students, faculty and

researchers at the backbone. That backbone

becomes embellished by the creative industries

that thrive in such environments.

Cities like Silicone Valley in the USA, Bologna

in Italy and Oxford in the UK are beacons for

people seeking a youthful and vibrant lifestyles.

Masdar has one of the worlds finest tertiary

education institutions in Masdar Institute. It is

also host to the substantial future campus of

Khalifa University. The imminent presence of

a large International School also adds to this

youthful vibrancy.

Once again, Masdar has these essential

ingredients already in place and are strengths

which no other location in Abu Dhabi can claim

to have.

Masdar City as Aerotropolis

The concept of an Aerotropolis has evolved

over the last twenty years in response to the

exploding popularity of air travel. An Aerotropolis

usually evolves around a major Airport and

develops around key industry clusters like trade,

logistics, manufacturing and R & D.

New ‘eco-cities’ like Masdar and Songdo City in

South Korea align with the potential for creating

an Aerotropolis grounded in sustainable living.

While the Aerotropolis seems to be antithetic

to the idea of a sustainable metropolis, recent

research has shown that global trade can

substantially reduce CO2 when the totality of

the production chain is taken into account. A

series of studies conducted by Lincoln University

in New Zealand in 2007 & 2008 demonstrated

convincingly that global trade can result in

substantial reductions in CO2 emissions for

agricultural products.

Because of its undeniably close connection

to the Abu Dhabi Airport and future Midfield

Terminal Complex, the strong Research and

Development base and the Clean Industry

cluster already in place Masdar City is a perfect

model for the ‘sustainable Aerotropolis’.

A Study that Builds on the Masterplan

The Masdar City team has briefed Woods Bagot

to provide a design study that investigates the

core value proposition and substantiates the

further development of Masdar City Phase 1.

The brief included the following:

– Take into account Masdar Institute and its

current expansion

– Consider the on-going development of

Siemens and how it can be incorporated into

the wider development

– Study how the Masdar HQ building can be

integrated with the existing and committed

developments

– Study how the HQ can be connected to MI

– Integrate with developments at plot I 14 (Hotel),

G08 (Medical & Retail Centre) & F 16 (School)

– Study how a compact built form can

incorporate an enticing outdoor souk

environment incorporating lively street retailing

and cafe’s

– Create a souk environment that can connect

the Institute to the International School on F16

– Create neighbourhoods anchored by Town

– Squares often with Mosques

– Manage the level changes between the podium

level and grade levels

Opportunities

Create an environmentally, socially and

economically sustainable contemporary lifestyle

that incorporates the very best of Traditional

Arabic Cities to appeal to the diverse Arab expat

population of Abu Dhabi.

To capitalise the development, Masdar Phase 1

developments should also incorporate:

– Extensive street retailing and cafe’s

– A Lively Souk as a heart of daily life

– Lively and active public realm

– Density of occupation from having a compact

public realm

– Modest presence of water and vegetation

– Small unexpected corners of space where

occasional meetings can occur

– Neighbourhoods anchored by Town Squares

often with Mosques

GUIDELINE

MASDAR ZERO EMISSION CITY PHASE I

Location: Masdar City, Abu Dhabi

Client: Masdar

Design stage: Guideline

(54 Hectares) Situated 17km from downtown Abu Dhabi, Masdar

City is a high-density, pedestrian-friendly development where

current and future renewable energy and clean technologies

are showcased, marketed, researched, developed, tested

and implemented. The vision is a masterplan for the Masdar

Phase 1 development. The scope is to take the existing Masdar

City Masterplan concept and develop it to create a lifestyle

strategy and urban design proposal.The Plan for the precinct

also envisage to have a strong identity that will attract visitors

to retail and services strategically located around activity

nodes and axis, making the urban experience for residents

and workers as interesting as possible, without compromising

safety and security of the residential developments. This, will

also include a variety of residential unit types that will enhance

the completeness of the Community.

How do we ensure a

Sustainable development?

Establish a Development

Framework

In order to create a sustainable development

framework we will aim to establish the

following

– Strong mixed use neighbourhood centres

– Distinct neighbourhoods with a strong

identity

– Active retail links along main access streets

– Active retail/mixed use link between the

main anchors

– Walk-able access to public transport routes

– Walk-able access to public spaces

– Feasible development phasing strategy

How do we allow for

Flexibility and Adaptability?

Establish a Development

Toolbox.

At the same time the development needs

to allow for flexibility and adaptability in its

implementation over time. Therefore we will

aim to create the following ‘Toolboxes’ to

allow for a variety of applications :

– Architectural Design Toolbox which secures

a variety of sustainable design strategies

and materials

– Landscape Design Toolbox which secures a

variety of sustainable design strategies and

materials

– Block development which allows flexibility

in its final use

– Phasing strategy that established a strong

first phase development providing a starting

point for all different districts and uses

How do we ensure a

Successful Implementation?

Create a Realistic and

Flexible Phasing Strategy.

The development needs to be developed

in phases that will ensure a feasible

implementation strategy:

– Phases need to ensure a proper mix of uses

is offered in the early stages

– The Anchors will establish strong sense of

neighbourhood identity

– There needs to be a activated link between

the Anchors at an early stage

– The phasing Framework needs to allow for

sufficient flexibility in its implementation for

future changes in the market

How do we create a

Competitive Development?

Create a prime LIFESTYLE

product.

Based on the current model of Masdar

accommodation we need to consider a

more Lifestyle-focussed offering to create

something that is undeniably attractive:

– Offer prime public realm access to a

lifestyle destination such as a vibrant souq

– Provide low rise apartments that offer,

views, maximum daylight, sense of privacy

– Provide an architecture that is open and

allows daylight to penetrate which is very

important to the feeling of well being

– Create apartments that offer a sense of

privacy while at the same time giving you a

feeling liberation due to its open views

– Provide elements like a souq hub and

walkable lifestyle street as attractors

– Appeal to peoples desire to live a

sustainable lifestyle and market apartments

as a sustainable choice for the informed

Masterplan Framework

Masdar City’s Masterplan helps to make

Environmentally Sustainable Design a standard.

Its compact city form, open space structure and

response to climate effectively ensure the best

possible starting point for the development

Given the change in economic realities, the viability

of a development based solely on ESD is called into

question.

The time has come to consider Masdar City more

holistically. To envision it as a place so attractive

that it represents the most logical lifestyle choice for

Abu Dhabi Residents.

A place where cafe’s and entertainment venues

constantly buzz with the Bohemian energy of

Masdar Institute and the future Khalifa University

Campuses. A place where ideas change the world.

Al Mamsha - The Walk

“Al Mamsha” translates as “The Walk” in Arabic.

Al Mamsha serves two vital functions. The first

is to act as the transition between the elevated

Podium Level that supports the Existing Masdar

Institute and Northern Car Park and the existing

grade level which will be the floor level for future

developments at Masdar.

It also links the academic campus of the Masdar

Institute with the academic campus of the Bloom

Properties development.

The second role for Al Mamsha is to act as the

lifestyle spine that distinguishes Masdar City as

an informed lifestyle choice. It is lined with a

series of shops, cafe’s, restaurants and service

facilities at the ground floor. Located above the

enlivened active facades at the ground floor are a

mix of market grade apartments, SOHO’s (small

office / home office), cleantech startup incubator

offices and high-grade student accommodation.

One of Masdar’s key strengths lies in the fact

that the streets are compact and deeply shaded

making the Walk a desirable lifestyle location

for those seeking the bohemian, cafe-culture

lifestyle of University Cities.

Al Qalb - The Souk at the Heart of Masdar

“Al Qalb” translates to “The Heart” in Arabic.

As the name suggests it lies at the heart of our

proposals for the Phase 1 development. It is

the place where Al Mamsha intersects with

the primary entrance from the lifestyle street

between the Northern Car Park and the Hotel to

the south.

As a key intersection between Al Mamsha and

the primary entry point, Al Qalb is typified by

Cafe’s, Restaurants & Entertainment facilities.

Anchored at both ends by Town Squares

containing community mosques, neighbourhood

shopping and coffee shops these anchors serve

the residents of the Al Mamsha neighbourhood &

provide a constant stream of pedestrian traffic.

Al Qalb is intentionally separated from the

Masdar Institute providing the location for people

to ‘get away’, and find a quiet place work in a

cafe setting. At night Al Qalb comes alive with

street retailing and performance art.

Within the street environment a free & accessible

wireless internet mesh network provides

superfast internet connectivity in all public areas.

The HQ Link- A Learning & Lifestyle Incubator

The Masdar and IRENA HQ development will

serve an important catalysing function and will

act as a watershed for Madar City. It will add

a vital commercial and institutional presence to

enliven the daytime environment of Masdar City.

Complimented by a future Conference Venue

it will serve as the commercial and institutional

heart of Masdar. With its unparalleled proximity

to Abu Dhabi International Airport, HQ and

the Conference Center will quickly become

the Sustainable Technology and Cleantech

Conference hub of the World - a knowledge

centre positioned perfectly between the eastern

and western hemispheres.

However the HQ and Conference hub is remote

from the existing development and a carefully

considered link is required. It will function as

connective tissue, a “Lifetyle Incubator” and a

“Learning Lab” incorporating a series of outdoor

interpretive displays telling the Masdar Story.

For the early phases of Masdar the Link will

serve as vital piece of Green Infrastructure

with Reed Beds as visible ‘right sized’ water

treatment system. In the long term buildings will

fill in elements of the link ensuring a continuity of

form over time.

distinct areas, and communal focal points.

The gateways connect with bicycle parking,

where vehicular movement easily transforms into

a pedestrian one. Narrow streets are combined

with the cyclist network.

Strengthening Masdar’s

INTRODUCTION

BAB Al BAhR DeVeloPMenT - The development site,

named Bab Al Bahr, is to become a medium density

residential community located between Sale Medina

& Rabat Medina. BAB is one of the biggest new town

developments in Morocco. Spanning more than 34 hectares,

BAB development will provide homes for more than

households in the coming decade. BAB is to showcase a

new urban environment to the future residents, meeting the

ever increasing demand for residential developments in the

area.

BRIEf

BAB development has the opportunity to create a

community within Sale that is centred on providing direct

access to usable open spaces, promoting a pedestrian

orientated environment, and encouraging interaction and

integration within development. The development also

focuses on creating distinctive gardens within residential

clusters that provide a sense of ownership, belonging and

privacy. The guideline aims to create an extensive network

of open spaces linking the community assets including retail,

recreational facilities.

LANDSCAPE kEy AREAS

The intent is to create a vibrant, friendly, environmentally

responsive and identifiable landscape and public realm

that highlights BAB’s vision for a viable residential community.

The softscape incorporates public and residential space

Inclusive of parks, plazas, buffer treatments, residential

courtyards, promenades, feature planting in the nodes/focal

points, etc. Children Play Areas are also located strategically

to contribute to the urban amenities of the development.

THE SUNkEN PLAzA

Integrated with water sprays, f&b outlets, retail shops,

children’s play areas, etc. the urban square is soon

becoming a popular meeting place, in an area that striped

pattern is overriding the hardscape of the entire raised plaza

extending into the streetscape, creating its own context and

identity.

Plaza water sprays which provide vivid sensation to the

sunken area will be switched off during events when the

plaza is being functioned as a performance arena.

PUBLIC REALM

PUBLIC REALM OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of the public realm is to create a

district that promotes the development of a new community

within Sale, that shall evolve and mature. The public realm is

inclusive of streetscape and open space within BAB which is

comprised of several sub categories. Design principles of the

public realm will be inclusive of:

• Create an efficient public realm maximizing overall

developable value;

• Incorporate a Sustainable Approach within the Public

Realm and Built Forms;

• Create interactive learning environments for all;

• Provide a pedestrian/cyclists orientated environment with

open space networks linking residential clusters, retail stripes

and meeting nodes with key asset;

• Provide required community facilities and retail amenities;

• Incorporate access controlled access points in certain

parts e.g. CAM buildings.

each openspace will be designed to transform its function

and character to a more aesthetically pleasing and

functional space whether it is for relaxation or recreation.

each space will be treated separately to achieve a unique

ambience by selection of plants, hardscape, elements and

activities.

ACTIVE & PASSIVE ; VIBRANT & SERENE

Taking into account the variety of open space composition

within BAB, each area will be treated based on its typology

and particular requirements. there will be a careful selection

of functions to be assigned to each open space in order to

create a certain level of activity which will fit each space in

a range between extreme vibrant to extreme serene such

as:

• Active: the sport park

• Mostly active: the community park

• Mostly passive: the South park

• extreme serene: the Fluvial park

BAB HERITAGE : LA MARINA

the area has been historically a fishermen’s marina and it

may reflect in the design of the artwork and urban sculptures

of the BAB.

The promenades would be designed creating range of

space that will be used to walk, cycle, play, work out or sit

and observe.

BAB VIEWS ENHANCEMENT

Public realm design is aimed to enhance views towards the

historical monuments from the BAB. Viewing spots, decks

and frames would provide a more pleasant observation of

the vistas.

LANDSCAPE PATTERNS

BAB Public realm design has been driven from both

natural and human made patterns and forms.

human created patterns such as Pixel grids and Stripes

are integral in designing the landscape, softscape,

hardscape and shaping the areas of the commercial

landscape of retail areas and plazas, streetscape and

parks in their extension, as well as building courtyards.

organic patterns and elements shape the parks of the

development to create sinuous pathways and areas.

PIxELATED GRID

The facades of the existing building have orthogonal shapes,

and both existing and future buildings are designed in a gridlike

manner. This is the opposite of the natural wave-like lines

from the salt marsh. The pattern will be also incorporated

into the residential courtyards and residential park in the

form of straight lines and pixelated grids to shape a range of

areas and raised levels.

WAVE

The inspiration for the urban parks and the marina walk

came from the curved lines engraved into the salt marsh,

an effect from the flooding of the river. taking these curved

lines, they are emphasized and translated into the design

of the mentioned areas to shape inner areas with range of

activities.

SUSTAINABILITy

Fundamental to the Public realm design of the BAB

development is the notion of sustainable living.

To this extent we also embrace sustainable design measures

in all aspects of the landscape. This takes the form of

innovative water conservation and irrigation systems, reed

bed wastewater treatment systems, careful selection of lowwater

consumption plant materials and clever use of lowcarbon

hard landscape materials such as e-crete pavers

and biobrick retaining walls. Social sustainability in terms of

offering a holistic living environment is also a fundamental

component.

Biodiversity will be a key measure of all landscape areas. For

this reason we intend to employ diverse range of Plants and

vegetation.

A final objective is to ensure a cost effective and robust

landscape that requires minimal maintenance.

MAxIMIzING URBAN AMENITy

Set to become the benchmark for the entire regional precinct,

the main objective for the landscape environment is to create

a distinctive identity for the ‘sunken retail plaza’ in the heart of

the residential & hospitality land-use of the waterfront context

of bab Al bahr where topography is generally flat, marking the

germination of an entire new public realm.

The proposed values to enhance public realm of BAB stems

from the vision of creating a vibrant landscape, working with

sustainable principles, to provide a pedestrian and cyclists

oriented development with inter-connected links and green

corridors, coupled with distinctively programmed open

spaces and parks, promoting ownership and belonging,

resulting in a desirable product on the Moroccan market.

COLORS Of MOROCCO

The colors are an essential part of a country as they

represent a clear cultural symbol. In Morocco this fact is

highly remarkable. Morocco is a colorful oasis with the

atmosphere of a fairy tale.

This value is disappearing due to causes related to the

globalization impacts, as the introduction of foreign

elements is having an effect to the special character of

colors and represents a threat for the cultural diversity.

This proposal will aim to highlight the Moroccan range

of colors that delighted to magnificent painters such as

Delacroix, Fortuny, Tapiró or Matisse.

Moroccan flag - the red background on the Moroccan flag

represents hardiness, bravery, strength and valour, while

the green represent the color of Islam, five-pointed star

represents the five Pillars of Islam.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

Architecture in Morocco is a blend of several major cultures

of human history: ancient Islamic, hispano-Maghrebian

and european, with the Islamic styles dominating in this

combination. This is not only viewed in the building itself, but

the lavish gardens, extravagant decorations and elaborate

use of deep and contrasting color.

Most buildings feature large, intimidating archways and

beautiful domes that complete them. It is also common to

find enchanting courtyards, sprawling gardens and the use

of ornaments to decorate the exterior of the building.

Moroccan architecture also makes use of Islamic calligraphy

as decoration as opposed to pictures and the use of color

also plays a significant role in their designs. geometric

patterns are also commonly found in the architecture of

Morocco.

As a part of the landscape strategy of BAB to enhance the

Sunken Plaza, the streets passing through the plaza and

the connected open space will be treated as a whole. The

whole extended area will be elevated and its hardscape will

feature the striped pattern to enhance the area further.

the striped pattern will also reflect in the design of the

water features will be assigned to each location in

accordance to the landscape typology of that space which

can be categorized as below:

• Reflective water features: in the serene areas of the

parks or residential courtyards

• Dry deck fountains: active areas e.g. commercial

landscape

• water cascades, rain drop or bubble features: semi

active public areas e.g. entry landscapes

• Sculptural feature: Active public realm e.g. the Riverfront

and marina

The art installations of BAB will be inspired by the patterns

of Pixel grid, organic waves, stripes and the combination of

these patterns to create modern sculptures.

Taking into account the heritage factors in relation to the

fisherman’s marina, the theme is also included into the

creation of urban artwork of the development.

Moroccan art such as tiles, steps and lanterns will be another

point of inspiration for the artwork of BAB.

Artwork will be located throughout the public space; parks,

DESIGN

Location: Lucknow, India

Client: GAJ

Design Stage: Pre-Concept to Detail

(30 Hectares) The project comprises of the design of a

residential township- community with a mixture of residential

villas, townhouses and apartments with associated community

facilities, parks and open spaces.

The township master plan design is based on a grid system

of streets containing rectilinear blocks of residential units

interspersed with neighborhood pocket parks which connect

to larger parks and open space. The layout is driven by the

form of the existing land patterns and landscape features in

the district such as the field pattern and drainage channels.

The irregular boundary edge ensures the development sits

within the existing structure of the urban fringe landscape, the

shape and form reflecting the existing field patterns, the final

shape is determined by the land which has been available or

purchased for the development. The intention of the Landscape

Design and key priorities are to create a residential community

which promotes livability, identity, connectivity, sense of

belonging & sustainability.

Responsibilities - Led the concept design and schematic

packages. Reports. Coordinations. Communications.

Meetings. Presentations.




CULTURE, ARTS & RELIGION

Culture

In common with other metropolitan cities across India, Lucknow

is multicultural and home to people who use different dialects

and languages. Many of the cultural traits and customs peculiar

to Lucknow have become living legends today. Modern day Lucknowites

are known for their polite and polished way of speaking

which is noticed by visitors.

Festivals

Common Indian Festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Durga Puja, Vijayadashami

are celebrated with great pomp and show in the

city. Some of the other festivals or processions are as follows:

Lucknow Mahotsava (Lucknow Festival): Is organised every

year to showcase Uttar Pradesh art and culture and to promote

tourism.

Muharram: Lucknow is known as a seat of Shia Islam and the

epitome of Shia culture in India. All communities including the

Hindus, observe Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar

and on Ashura (the 10th day of the month) celebrate the

memory of Imam Husain, grandson of the prophet Muhammad.

Chup Tazia: This procession originated in Lucknow before

spreading to other parts of South Asia. Chup Tazis or silent tazia

is the name given to religious processions to commemorate the

death of Imam Hasan al-Askari. The procession is usually regarded

as the last procession of the mourning period that begins

in the Islamic month of Muharram.

Arts

Lucknow flourished ias an Art City in the eighteenth and nineteenth

centuries, its different forms of art, dance, music, textiles

(embroidery and shawls), jewelery, wood carvings, and visual

arts were and are an important part of Lucknows culture and

heritage. The city remains as an important artistic city and culture

hub, with a vast offering of Universities and Colleges that

offer Fone Arts and Art related careers.

Lucknowites take great pride in the thriving arts and culture

scene in the city. Art exhibitions by local painters and sculptors

are a regular feature on the city’s social calendar.

Lucknow is known for its embroidery works, chikankari is well

known all over India. This 400-year-old art in its present form was

developed in Lucknow and it remains the only location where the

skill is practiced today. Chikankari constitutes ‘shadow work’ and

is a very delicate and artistic hand embroidery done using white

thread on fine white cotton cloth such as fine muslin or chiffon.

The work is done on caps, kurtas, saris, scarfs, and other vestments.

Lucknow the largest exporter of chikan embroidered garments.

As a sign of recognition, in December 2008, the Indian

Geographical Indication Registry accorded Geographical Indication

status for chikankari, recognising Lucknow as the exclusive

hub for its manufacture.

Religion in India

Religion in India is characterized by a diversity of religious beliefs

and practices. India is the birthplace of four of the world’s major

religions; namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Throughout India’s history, religion has been an important part of

the country’s culture. Religious diversity and religious tolerance

are both established in the country by the law and custom.

According to the 2001 census,[1] 80.5% of the population of India

practice Hinduism. Islam (13.4%), Christianity (2.3%), Sikhism

(1.9%), Buddhism (0.8%) and Jainism (0.4%) are the other

major religions followed by the people of India. There are also

numerous minor tribal traditions, though these have been affected

by major religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam

and Christianity.

Indian geometric patterns used

THEME & CONCEPT

The agricultural patterns

Situated on the urban / rural fringe of Lucknow, the site is heavily

influenced by its agricultural past and by the agricultural land

uses which still surround the site, interspersed with small holdings

and low rise residential developments.

The following character elements typify the pattern of the local

agricultural landscape:

• Rectilinear field patterns;

• Grid system field division path and cartways;

• Elevated routeways;

Agricultural Fields and the geometrical patterns they create

• Linear drainage channels;

• Intermittent tree groups;

• Singe tree stands;

Mehndi intricate designs

Indian Art

These elements provide part of the conceptual mix VERO will

use for the landscape design proposals, enabling the character

of the existing landscape is expressed within the proposed

design ensures a legible link between the inner design and the

outer context.

Other elements

Other elements taken as inspiration are the colors and designs

of the textiles and the patterns of Mehndi, also the sculptural

art. These elements become part of the details that build up the

spaces, like outdoor furniture, signage, pots, sculptures and in

general art.

Landscape Architecture concept inspird in the geometrical pattern of agricultural fields

Other elements inspired in the indian designs and colours create a bespoke environment

INSPIRATION

Geometry

Indian Geometry plays an important role in history, from the

earliest expression of the Pythagorean Theorem, the decimal

system, computation of areas and volumes and practical mathematics.It

is no surprise that many of their designs in textiles,

henna and architecture are influenced by intricate geomeytrical

patterns.

Agricultural fields

The irregular geometrical patterns of the agricultural fields present

an interesting and spontaneous design pattern that is present

in Lucknow.

Henna

Known as Indian Mehndi is applied to woman for festive occasionsFor

over five thousand years, henna has served as a

symbol of good luck, health and sensuality. This Indian tradition

is typically applied during special Hindu weddings and Hindu

festivals. Many women have Henna applied to their hands and

feet and sometimes on the back of their shoulders too, as men

have it applied on their arms, legs, back, and chest. The patterns

are full of symbolism, they usually use fine thin lines for

lacy, floral, and paisley patterns that celebrate of geometrical

patterns, many other subjects are used as inspiration in abstract

representations, the sun, birds, flowers and other animals and

insects.

Arts

A strong sense of design is characteristic of Indian art and can

be observed in its modern as well as in its traditional forms. In

historic art, sculpture in stone and metal, mainly religious, has

survived the Indian climate better than other media, and provides

most of the best remains, wall paintings as frescos have

been preserved as well. There is an important legacy of jewellery

making, temple art and folk and tribal art. In contemporary

art forms some of the most used media are painting and sculpture.

The shape, form and design of the entrance plaza follows a

formal, geometrical and symmetrical layout. this landscape

zone stretches out to cover the area between the highway at the

edge of the development site on one side and the apartment and

club house area on the other. The entrance plaza embraces two

major architectural figures: the gate house and the sales center.

The sales center will be emphasized in the landscape design

scheme with the hardscape and softscape material palette to

serve the overall design purpose projected. The road median

adopts a linear plantation of palm trees situated in a series

of lawn and planting beds, announcing the gatehouse as the

central axis. The sidewalks follow a symmetrical design layout

with geometrical repetitive elements represented by linear stone

benches. The benches sit in a rectangular planting bed that

are laid in feature gravel beds along the drive sides. The latter

landscape area also contains a continuous pathway of grey

and brown mix concrete pavers laid in a linear grid pattern. In

addition, there are two water features designed at the beginning

CONCEPT of the DESIGN entrance REPORT plaza.


The change in paving material of the road plays a 2. significant

role in indicating the different landscape and spatial character

of the area. A clear cut was made between the asphalt highway

and the concrete pavement adopted in the main drive way by

inserting a rumble strip of grey and gold mix of granite sett

pavers. This pattern occurs again in the area separating the

main drive way from the gate house where a radiant fan pattern

paving is chosen.

18m road R.O.W.

The street andscape serves as a pedestrian connection,

it creates a unifying look to the overall landscaping plan and

development. The median divides the road with a planting bed

and shade trees.

The hardscape consists of paved areas in the median, that

connect pedestrians with the side walks. Safety crossing points

are crucial and should be studied by the transportation engineer,

to have either zebra crossings, raised crossings or any other

traffic claming method.

The softscape creates much needed shade to both pedestrians

and vehicles, it provides colour, variety and interest.

LOCATION

The Arabian Gulf Street Promenade is in the

North of Kuwait City in the proximity of the City

Centre, framed by the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed

Cultural Centre, Al Salam Palace, the Innovation

Centre of Kuwait and the Shuwaikh Beach and

Arabian Gulf.

The newly designed promenade is setting the

stage for the Kuwait Flag Island which will be

located 500 m off the coast and accessible via

a bridge which is connected to the Sheikh Jaber

Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre via the Grand Plaza.

The promenade follows a timeless and modern

design approach with organic lines which are

graphically meandering along the waterfront.

These zones are Linear Promenade Experience ( Zone A ) Main Plaza & Festival Space ( Zone B ) and Beach Promenade Nodes ( Zone C ). Each one these experience and zones make up the general makeup of the promenade and are described

in further detail as follows:

AL-SALAM

SHEIKH JABER AL-AHMAD CULTURAL

FLAG SQUARE PARK

ZONE A Plazas

The role of the plazas as a more static space encouraging people to spend time

there, encouraging children to play, being places where families gather and

socialize. It can also function as a plaza that can hold events such as markets

and performances where temporary installations are built to transform the plaza

creating increased pedestrian connectivity.

ZONE B Nodes

The ‘route’ typology forms connections along the beach. Routes are characterized

by the selection of pragmatic, functional materials, and encourage walking,

cycling and roller blading. Plant selection in the routes is low water, semi-arid and

indigenous. Clusters of shade trees will offer relief from the sun for pedestrians

using seating area, while low key ground cover and shrub planting will provide

spatial definition

C Routes

As you walk through the landscaped pedestrian walkway you approach towards

leveled mounds where the locals and incoming guests can enjoy a spatial

performance while also enjoying the tranquil atmosphere on the wispy grasses.

The ‘delight’ spaces will use a higher irrigation rate in a focused way to provide

a contrast from the routes, also using colour, texture and scent to enrich the

experience. Hard landscape materials will be of a higher quality than the routes,

including natural stone paving.

hydrants and furniture elements repeat every 25 meters

to ensure that there is ample lighting and seating

layout, the 25-meter modular is further mirrored

every 25 meters. This ensures that the lighting and

Global Context

– The 18th largest country in the world with

an area of 1.65 million km2 It is a country of

particular geopolitical significance owing to its

location in the Middle East and central Eurasia.

– Iran has one of the highest urban growth rates

in the world.

– Tehran, the capital, with an estimated

population of 8,4 million, is Iran’s largest urban

area and city, the largest city in Western Asia,

and the 19th largest city globally. It is the hub

of the country’s communication and transport

network.

Economy

– The economy of Iran is the 8th largest

economy in the world by purchasing power

parity. In the early 21st century the service

sector contributed the largest percentage of

the GDP.

– Iran currently ranks 89th in tourist income,

but is rated among the “10 most touristic

countries” in the world in terms of its history.

Demographics

– Iran is a diverse country consisting of people

of many religions and ethnic backgrounds

cemented by the Persian culture.

– Iran’s population increased dramatically during

the latter half of the 20th century, reaching

about 75 million by 2009. Studies project that

Iran’s rate of population growth will continue

to slow until it stabilizes above 105 million by

2050.

– More than two-thirds of the population is under

the age of 30.

Regional Context

– Tehran Province is located to the north of

the central plateau of Iran. The metropolis of

Tehran is the capital city of the province and

of Iran.Tehran province is the richest province

of Iran, it houses approximately 18% of the

country’s population.

– 86.5% of its population resides in urban areas

and 13.5% of its population resides in rural

areas.

Transport Links

– Tehran city is connected to the North, South,

West and East with railway. There are plans to

build high speed railway lines from Tehran to

Mashhad and Esfahan.

– Tehran is served by a system of metro of 3

urban lines (1, 2, 4) and one suburban line

(5). There are plans to extend the system to 8

urban lines and 4 express suburban lines.

– Tehran Province has two main passenger

airports:

– Mehrabad Airport, an old military airport used

for domestic and pilgrimage flights

– Imam Khomeini Airport, located 50 kilometers

south of the city, handing almost all

international flights.

Transit

– 60% of all trips are done by public transport.

– The transportation system of Tehran is

insufficient,

Transport Links

– Taxis are assigned to serve within a particular

district making necessary to take several taxis

to reach a distant location.

Local Context

– Tehran City is the national capital and the

economical, cultural, and social center of Iran.

“Tehran Metropolitan Area” (TMA), is one of the

largest mega regions of the world.

– In 2008 Tehran was the least expensive capital

in the world and the second-least expensive

city globally. However Prices have risen

dramatically in the past few years because of

high inflation, world sanctions, and government

economic policy.

– Tehran presents the best value for money in the

world.

– In course of industrialization and the increasing

importance of Iran, Tehran has become magnet

to companies and millions of migrants.

Contemporary Tehran

– The most popular social activity, especially

among the younger generation is cinema. Most

cinema theatres are located downtown.

– Tehran has many modern and chic

restaurants, serving both traditional Iranian and

cosmopolitan cuisine.

02 04 Assumed Development Boundary

Apart from the line that defines a reserve

for the gas line that runs through the overall

development in the NE-SW direction, the

location of other on-site infrastructure elements

and the Office Tower are defined in the drawings

received by lines that are most likely to be

building coverage than land area. Those lines

were encroaching with the above mentioned

boundary line.

In addition to that, the separation between the

Mall and the hospitality and leisure components

of the overall masterplan south of the North

Connector Road are not clear, and the

relationship between the Office Tower and the

Mall is not defined either.

Topography CAD File

Approach

In order to move forward with this Concept

Report, Woods Bagot was requested by the

Client to produce a site plan that clearly identifies

the assumed site boundary.

For the completion of this task Woods Bagot

has assumed different setbacks from different

easements located in the boarders or within the

site. In addition to that, the line that separates

the Entertainment Street and 4* Hotel sites

was assumed using the alignments of those

buildings as reference. The location and size of

the easements and Office Tower sites has been

kept.

Overall Development Site Plan CAD File

Boundaries

Woods Bagot was provided with a number of

geo-referenced drawings showing topography

and site plan for the overall development that

contained different boundary lines. The boundary

considered relevant is a line that appears to

respect main surround roads, despite the fact

that the line is not entirely following its geometry.

Any setback line was identified, within the

documentation received, in relation to the

surrounding roads, junctions and transportation

easements.

In order to progress on the design for the

Mall this assumptions are to be confirmed

by the Client and Sub-Consultants upon

architectural and engineering assessment of

those surrounding facilities in early stages of the

following Schematic Design phase.

Chitgar Park & National Botanic Park

Tehran Climate

– Wind direction is typically from North-West to

South-East.

– Gentle breeze flows every morning from

the mountain valleys of the North (Mountain

breeze), and every evening from the deserts in

the South (Desert breeze).

– Dry climate, always cool in the evening.

Tehran Environment

– Proximity of the mountains, presence of

numerous parks, gardens

– Alleys of trees iwhich runs down from the

upper city along deep and wide gutters which

look like small rivers during spring.

– The northern areas of Tehran where the site is

located in the foothills of the Alborz the weather

is slightly moderate and humid.

Geology & Siesmic

– The soil type is non-dense deposits from

Southern foothills of Alborz Mountain and

within layers of these deposits there is an

underground water table.

– Analyzed fields have been within the second

area of earthquake risk.

– Tehran Mall site is in proximity of NTF, the 90km

active fault in North of Tehran.

– 22nd district of Tehran municipality is in 40 to

80 percent building collapse risk of earthquake

by this fault.

Average Rainfall

Topography

– The site rises approximately 40 m from an

existing ground elevation of 1305 along

the south easterly limit to 1345 m along the

north westerly limit in a horizontal distance of

approximately 700 m. The overall site gradient

is sloping from NW to SE direction.

Site Access

Visibility

– Spectacular surrounding of natural landscape

and mountains presence at the northern edge

of Tehran.

– Views to the new developments in District 22

and far away to the Chitgar Park & National

Botanic Park.

Views to Site

– Site prominently located in the crossing of

main roads. Strong visibility to who come from

Tehran City is enforced by the elevation.

– Series of view axis is provided by few streets

that are planned or built, including the channel

through the Entertainment Street.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

(COMMERCIAL)

THE 1001 CITIES RETAIL MALL

Location: Confidential

Client: Confidential

Design stage: Pre - Concept & Concept

The mall will create a contemporary and exciting vision for

the future, while reflecting on elements from the past.The

design vision shall integrate seamlessly with the surrounding

masterplan and the spectacular natural environment, focusing

on the dramatic surrounding landscape. On a more practical

level, the Mall will be constructed in 3 separate phases. Each

of these phases must be able to operate as an independent

building as the future phases could be constructed at a much

later date. The design must be flexible and ‘future proofed’ to

allow it to remain valid as these phases are completed in the

future.The Landscape Strategy aims to create a highly

livable, biologically active, hydrologically functional and

sustainable Open Space Network suited to its Climate. The

key to achieving this goal is to recognise and enhance the

existing biophysical environment

Site Capacity & Building Placement

Background

Vision

The Courtyard

The Development brief highlights concerns

regarding phasing and builtability. In fact, the

topographical characteristics and the request for

independence between phases is a challenge when

studying the possibilities. Orientation, visibility,

linkage with existing and planned roadways, desire

to minimize site disturbance, where some of the

elements taken into consideration.

Where the building is placed can have a great

influence on the image of the entire development,

not mentioning effectiveness of passive design

strategies. This is based on a desktop analysis of

the opportunities and constraints of each built form

chosen.

Occupying the Periphery Spread Condensed Mass

Urban Courtyard Forecourt Entrances Canyons to Big Park

In developing option 1 we are exploring the value the central courtyard contributes to the

functionality and quality of the mall. Both of these aspects serve to enhance the visitor experience

and elevate the mall amongst the competition to make it a destination of choice

These further developments expand similar themes but then evolve into two variations in terms

of the aesthetic expression

The central courtyard is seen as a means to exploit the available land to create meaningful

outdoor experiences that compliment the functions in the mall. As we continually strive to relate

the mall to cultural and local relevance we can see the opportunity to explore the connection to the

well known fact that walled gardens or the “paradise on earth” originated in Persia. These gardens

had various functions and took on distinctive forms over time, but the essential outcomes were

that they became places where people could relax and meet.

We are extremely interested in outdoor gardens giving relief to the indoor spaces of the mall

and at the same time enhancing some of the functions, in particular the ability to allow F&B

facilities to break out and achieve a greater dynamic

A mall of this size will invariably create long passages and it is important that these routes

are interrupted by nodal points to allow visitors to have visual relief and to orientate and make

decisions about where to travel next. These nodal points are also important to highlight vertical

circulation and can serve as spaces to accommodate special events such as displays, fashion

shows or cultural activities. To highlight these nodal points we expect to introduce natural light

by creating vertical atriums. This will certainly be a tool of choice to enable efficient joining of

subsequent phases and in order to disguise this pragmatic necessity we propose to include

additional atriums in each of the particular phases. This move will also assist in breaking down the

considerable mass that a mall of this size will generate

Shazdeh Garden

Mountains

In essence this results in a series of atria that break the overall mall into smaller segments and

each of these breaks will allow visitors to see outside either outwards or inwards into the internal

walled garden, constantly serving as an orientation tool

Walled Garden

Presence from Highway Succession of Facades Each Phase with Both

In the architectural resolution, version one exploits each of these individual masses as

distinct objects surrounding the central garden much like the petals of a flower. As such we have

articulated these petals as smooth soft forms emulating the forms given to us by flowers such as

the tulip.

Version two considers the mall as part of the surrounding natural landscape as well as

recognized man made forms such as arches and vaults; and examines the faceted nature of these

elements. The result is an undulating enveloping wall faceted from horizontal to vertical to create a

striking external façade which at the same time cradles a more intimate and organic centre

Landscape Points of Inspiration


Learning from The Iranian Bazaar

December 10am December 12pm December 3pm

Woods Bagot’s landscape architectural design of

the Tehran Mall Development may take inspiration

from a number of elements from both the site’s

location in Tehran and Iran itself.

National Botanic Park

Alborz Mountain

A significant characteristic of the Mall’s site is the

views towards three dramatic landscapes – the

National botanical Garden, Chitgar Park and the

Alborz Mountain. Midquod mazim placerat facer.

In addition to Green area views of Chitgar and

Botanical Garden, the Landscape context of the

development also allows a connection between

the mall and the green infrastructure of the area

During this first building Persepolis phase, a

complex system of water channels and drainage

was cut into the rocky terrace.

The main principles of Iranian architecture are

introversion, avoiding idleness, anthropocentric,

sustainability in choice of materials and structural

stability. Iranian Landscape Architecture represents

sophistication of the garden and the inner

space and simplicity of the façade and external

walls, from historic forts to ancient gardens.

“In this report, 3 references of historical Iranian

bazaars have been studied in an attempt to learn

from the intelligent techniques used in the past for

the making of successful shopping experience.

For this phase of the design thinking process, we

have focused on the general arrangement of the

old Bazaars and their expansion history in order to

learn and use them for the phasing concept of this

project.”

Entrance to the Garden

Architecture in Iran has a continuous history from

at least 5000BCE to the present. Its features

conclude sublimity, a marked feeling for form and

scale; structural inventiveness, especially in vault

and dome construction.

Isfahan Bazaar

The bazaar first developed during the 11th

century. The bazaar was situated in the center of

the walled city, which shows the importance of

the bazaar as the key element for city planning at

that time. The bazaar passageways started from

the central bazaar near the monumental Friday

Mosque and extended to the main city gates.

In 17th century during the Savavid dynesty, the

Shah decided to create a new bazaar or a new

center for peoples’ shopping destination. This

new bazaar was situated to the south west in

relation to the older bazaar. The new bazaar was

planned around a square “maydan”, which was

called Maydan e Naqshi Jihan.

Image Title

Key/important buildings such as a Jame Mosque

and new shah Palaces were built around the

maydan too. The new bazaar which was built

around the maydan was unsuccessful in the

beginning, as most people were used to attend

the old Friday mosque and bazaar.

Through time, the shop keepers started

developing a linear passageway to connect

the two prominent bazaar centers of the city.

Gradually the link between the “two” centers

became the most successful shopping

experience. Diagram#01 illustrates the idea of

progression of Isfahan bazaar, where two centers

or shopping destinations meet through an

animated linear shopping arrangement.

These two central destinations can be translated

in our modern day as “Anchors”, where people

are directed to them inside shopping malls. This

idea could be used as an option for the phasing

concept in our project.

Design concept for mall development

is inspired from both nature and

culture. Voronoi is a natural fractal

pattern which fits perfectly in the

landscape design for the irregular

shape of the courtyard and peripheral

areas.

The flow of water through the

landscape is inspired from Tehrans

water ditchs and canals which have

been spread all over the city since

long time back and protected the

city from seasonal water overflows in

critical times of heavy rains.
