Brief About The Project:
Primordium is the earliest stage of further redevelopment on Sheikh Zayed Road’s billboard strips. It revitalizes dead public space by harnessing formally refined gestures of ‘slicing’ extracted from merging textures of erosion and maps of UAE. The transformation into spatial and architectural constructs onto the urbanscape revive the dead space. Hence an electronic billboard pierced by a Michelin star gastronomic restaurant conceived by 3D printed reinforced concrete, steel and EFTE panels opens the gateway into new and efficient forms of construction and the revival or urban dead zones.
