In this project the design task was to develop a hybrid complex comprising of residential, cultural, commercial uses as well as interaction spaces, outdoor spaces, services and parking. In order to have a complex that addresses the multiple issues raised by hybridization as well as activating space with quotidian public-life and (un)organized events, the design offers a porous street level interoperating with a rised tower base in order to retrack the adjacent public greens in different levels.

Spatial movement of pedestrian and vehicles plus lack of transparency and porosity according to building blocks
Bringing porosity for the hybrid building in all spatial dimensions, considering environmental issues, to provide spatial accessibility in lower levels, experimental phenomena, and visual transparency/perception
