In the saadiyat island there are a lot of great projects of iconic architects such as Frank Gehry, Jean Novel, Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando, each project is distinctive in its own design and has its own space that feels like its a dominant project while at the same time they kind of interact together.
after chosing the site i thought about my project which had to relate to the island, and cultures
and so House of World Cultures was born, my project mainly deals with cultures from all over the world. and also it will have a visitor centre to inlighten people about the saadiyat island and its projects.
here is the proposal map of the Saadiyat Island
I looked into many case studies but chose only the ones that are close somehow to my project.
and here are some of the chosen case studies
