Zaha Hadid Architects (zha) has been selected by Arada to design the central hub, which would serve as the centerpiece of Aljada, the developer’s famed project in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. This decision was made after an international competition. A variety of elliptical buildings that are designed to channel prevailing winds into civic spaces and courtyards in order to facilitate cooling during the summer months are included in the proposal. This proposal was developed with environmental considerations integrated throughout the masterplan in order to minimize the consumption of resources. The proposal conceptualizes the moment a water droplet strikes the surface of the earth. A dynamic public area with water features that are watered by recovered and recycled water surrounds the central observation tower, which is located in the middle of the city. In order to maintain a microclimate at ground level, tensile canopies are used to create green gardens that include plants that are local to the area. In a statement, the chairman of Arada, Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, said that Zaha Hadid Architects is well recognized all over the world for their innovative and transformative approach to urban architecture. Despite the fact that every single company that participated in this design competition presented great concepts, the integrated design approach that Zaha Hadid architects used was the one that best suited our vision for Aljada’s core hub as a destination that is linked. This strategy is almost congruent with the purpose of Arada, which is to construct communities that are both fulfilling and engaging in order to create the Sharjah of the future. The central hub, which will be 1.9 million square feet in size and will be the center of the AED 24 billion Aljada mixed-use complex, will be a new focus for the United Arab Emirates and a major addition to Sharjah, which is considered to be the cultural capital of the Arab world. The central core of Aljada will be a key attraction for both residents and visitors, providing amenities of world-class quality in addition to community services, retail establishments, and eating experiences. In accordance with the mission of Arada, which is to construct environmentally friendly urban environments, the design of the central hub will incorporate the utilization of treated wastewater for irrigation purposes. Additionally, the architecture will incorporate both active and passive measures to reduce the amount of cooling that is required inside the building. The first phase of the central hub will create a lively, family-friendly destination with a series of attractions and activities for residents of Sharjah to enjoy the Aljada site throughout the year. These attractions and activities will include an adventure activity zone, a food market showcasing home-grown delicacies, and outdoor event spaces. Located in the center of Sharjah, Aljada offers outstanding connection to the regions that are located in the surrounding districts. Walkability and expansive green areas are taken into consideration throughout the design process of the masterplan, which makes it possible for residents, workers, and tourists to live, work, and play within a community that is completely integrated and sustainable. With its introduction at the beginning of September 2017, the 24 million square foot project has quickly become the residential community in Sharjah with the highest number of sales. There is an expectation that the whole project will be finished by the year 2025, and it will be delivered in stages starting in 2019. You may see the renderings on the website indiaartndesign.com.
