IntroductionÂ
First of all, our vision was to create a community that would compensate the displaced for the loss of their homes, so our priority in this design was to focus on shared Spaces as well as on appropriate internal relationships that would in turn provide an easy and comfortable life, comparable to the ones they had lost. Our journey of trying to find the best solution at the lowest cost was hard at trying to create a secure society with its basic needs.
 Steps of Design  Â
As an initial idea, one of the strengths of the project is a central pedestrian street that connects the rest of the streets and focuses on going through a unique user experience that surrounds them with feelings of belonging and interaction, fostering diverse activities, markets and interactive Spaces like a mosque and a youth center, increasing the individual’s area of open and shaded Spaces, creating connections between them, and providing them with green Spaces that they can cultivate in terms of the surrounding farmland. The network of roads for automobiles and pedestrians should be taken care of for ease of access and should not create many intersections to prevent traffic problems.     Â
In the next phase, we went on to work on the interior Spaces, making the best possible use of the space set for each apartment by repeating them over each other in a smooth and comfortable pattern, especially with the centralization of stairs in the building’s inner courtyard, pushing again for a sustainable common and social life, as well as anticipating and considering future expansion in terms of roads or housing units where rooms could be increased for some units if the family was growing.  Â
