THE INFILTRATION
diab aly
As the stagnant disparity between private and public spaces degrades due to the ongoing events in the city, the project blurs the lines further by incorporating public spaces in the midst of private ones. The central courtyard becomes a hub for diverse activities for the city, as well as a space for open markets, surrounded by a combination of urban farming and residential spaces. The urban farming towers, the private units and the communal spaces engulf the central courtyard and expands toward the surrounding buildings. The urban farming towers act as distinctive transitional spaces, with a ramp moving around the inner courtyard passing through the towers and interconnecting communal spaces with the public.
