Symbiotic Eco-Urban Weaving

 The design philosophy pays homage to the existing natural river systems, respecting their role and coexisting harmoniously with them. By adhering to this principle, we strive to create a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens both the urban environment and the riverine ecosystem. The goal is to not only enhance the resilience of these systems but also pave the way for a sustainable and prosperous future. The APPROACH aims to intricately weave the urban environment with riverine ecosystems to foster a harmonious symbiotic relationship. This involves creating a gradient of functions moving away from the river, establishing a spectrum of transitional zones along its banks with varying degrees of naturalness.
