- Problem statement :
From my point of view :
The main reason for the problems of the(WARAQ) island and the existing disputes is the idea of being neglected by the government
(the forgotten island, as it is often called) and constant thinking in the idea that the solution is to exclude the inhabitants of the island.
So The result is violence and the change in the nature of the islanders as a result of their feelings :
1- Desiring to plunder their land and their homeland.
2- The rich have all rights without them
- Vision :
Emphasis on the idea of Reviving (rejuvenation)by creating a small ideal island within the given space characterized by sustainability , energy and self-sufficiency .
- Mission :
To create an Small Eco Green Sustainable island
- source of new hope and energy for the habitants .
( will serve the habitant )
- will be the new heart for the island .
- message for the government the solution can bein Change not in Exclusion .
-The concept :
is the believing in the power of REVEIVING the can make a change
a attribute a progress .. new chance can be the solution in multiple problem case ..
a new life can be born from a cracks situation ..
The Applying of concept:
1- the flexible structure of tower unit ..
2- the reuse of every material any the new island ( recycling concept)
