"A zoomed out map showing how the souq can be accessed, and what will be seen during people's journey to reach the souq!"
"Initial thoughts and mind map."
"The souq was used as a market place for the residence, but now it was abandoned, so we proposed some ideas to bring the souq back to life!"
"Then we proposed some functions based on the crafts we noticed their in the village and the locals needs."
" and here is our visualization for the new souq as an everyday bazar "
" and as an art center for the children on somedays!"
"and as a social gathering area for Iftar in Ramadan!"
