Dear Djordje,
Interesting Proposal for the Conceptual Master Plan.
However, the three comments (below) would improve the architectural and urban approach .
1- The Grid of the main Housing Block proposed, should follow the direction of the adjacent urban tissue of the Gemayze sector, located
South of the Charles Helou Av. This Grid should be directly connected to Gemayze under the Avenue to provide the continuity of the
urban tissue for the proposed Housing Block in the project.
2- Actually, the Charles Helou AV. covers a big urban parking and bus station, This will help the parking service for the main housing
block proposed in the project. The pedestrian bridges designed, will be connected to this covered parking . At the intersections of the
Grid, small suspended piazzas could be created in order to animate the paths. Those piazzas will be articulated by vertical circulations
leading to the housing units below.
3-The character of the Housing Typology must be developed and inspired by the traditional city houses located in the adjacent
traditional sector of Gemayze.
Keep up the good work.
Best Regards.
