COHESION-Labor Community Hub
Project locationDubai, UAE
University/SchoolAmerican University in Dubai
Lead ArchitectMaya Roufail
The project targets the alienation of the labour community from the city and the modern cosmopolitan society of Dubai. It is designed on a site centred between some of Dubai's earliest industrial districts, the Al Qouz industrial areas, one to four. The project proposes reconnecting the four plots divided by the road intersection to create a floating frame that fosters integration, communal coherence and empowerment among the labour workers. It aspires to improve the wellbeing of the existing labour community by incorporating common functions within the frame.
