Brief About The Project:
Time has been an essential factor in the fragmentation of Mohammad Ali St. The study sets out to discover the street’s tempo by analyzing elements and layers that uncover a choreography of past and present dispersed energies through an understanding of the street’s urban memory and sensory experience. The intervention strategy aims to relieve stress points along the stretch by tackling the polyrhythmic setting of the street to once again nurture creativity, reimagination and community awareness in this context. Through urban, street scale and adaptive reuse interventions, the story of Mohammad Ali St. is unfolded.
