Conceptual design of a residential neighborhood in the new millennium.

An innovative residential concept places the good and well-being of the community at the center, while emphasizing the health of the city. Creating spacious open spaces and community public buildings planted in the center of each residential building. The design of the new urban district is based on a network system in which a variety of axes and paths operate, whether for walking, cycling, public and private transportation. To the heart of the district, which is also the main meeting place, three main functional axes drain -
1) The axis of the park in an east-west direction.
2) Main trading axis in a north-south direction.
3) Diagonal sports axis that passes between the various structures.
The heart of this district is an urban celebration, an iconic bridge that hovers over the park, which is surrounded by tall towers, which themselves are landmarks.

The strengths of construction and the urban fabric, designed as an 'urban arena'. When the towers usually grow at the edge of the quarter, look over and be observed. In this way the height of the construction slopes towards the existing neighborhoods (low built texture) and towards the park. The nature of this construction, affects the regime of light and winds derived from the planned construction heights in the form of an "urban arena", as well as from the geographical location of the towers in relation to the rest of the new neighborhood.
