"Salubrious" by Jad Moura
Through a series of digital and physical model exploration a parasitical formal design language was established, to inform the superstructure that begins to integrate itself with "Jazera Al Hamra" in Ras Al Khaimah. The goal is to sustain a salubrious relationship with the decaying infrastructure to rehabilitate the abandoned ghost village.
That phase proposed a temporary superstructure that is alien in form to the abandoned site, but achieves a symbiotic relationship through providing the missing infrastructure, food, electricity, and water. The Project interaction with the site activates unused programs and facilities such as the mosque, majlis, and courtyard houses. The Project’s program is a space for users to experience virtual spaces through the means of virtual and augmented reality, this becomes the means of income to sustain resources and continue in reactivating spaces through providing electricity to the housing, food to the majlis, and water for the mosque.
