         ‘ The form or structure of anything’

Morphology was the key concept of
   the design in my area.

KEY PROBLEMS;
                                              SOLUTIONS;
1. Corresponding to the oldest heritage
   zone and museum                            1. Integrating the experience of the nostalgic
2. Drastic variation of heights from             ‘Madina’ in the modern buildings
   Ground floor buildings to 25 to 30 floor   2. Using the concept of ‘Additive Architecture’
   towers                                        to negate the effect of varying heights
3. Varied maintenance of buildings            3. Legislations
4. Contrasting Elevations                     4. Usage of innovative materials like
5. Human scale ignored                           perforated metal sheets with traditional
                                                 patterns.
                                              5. Introducing internal passageways through
                                                 buildings, shading devices and connected
                                                 overhead podiums at lower levels. This
                                                 would make people feel the bulky height of
                                                 the towers less.
