Oasis. 2012-13
Palmeras, arbustos, arena, acero, concreto, 3 pabellones
This project is inspired by traditional arish architecture – an ancient method of construction using dried palm leaves – and the oasis, an anomaly in the desert where water is found and vegetation carefully cultivated. For Oases, OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen have inserted three oases into Sharjah’s Heritage Area, where fragments of the city’s original street plan can still be found. These oases fill a void in the historical city, emphasising the area’s maze-like character. At the same time, the oases are conceived as gardens or courtyards that project inward, concealed by the streets and buildings.
The oasis on the square divides the open space into smaller segments; inside this oasis is a bar for juice or tea, an enhancement that reflects the square’s current use as a playground for children and families.
Obra realizada con el apoyo de Sharjah Art Foundation.
