Brief About The Project:
Inspired by findings and research of natural coral stones and botanical illustrations from the 19th century, the project is the life cycle of a man-made coral farm that is born to serve a 21st century nation-wide demand for coral stones for the preservation
of historic coastal cities.
Expanding along the coast of Khorfakkan, the project is a collage of time and narrative of spaces resulting from a natural activity planted across an arid landscape with natural resources buried underground, extending more synthetic vertical elements to plant itself as a foundation for growth, acting as roots.
