Brief: Every Neighborhood needs a community center to provide services to community and to strengthen its bonds and create strong ties within the community.
The city of Jeddah started creating its own model of community centers to aid in that very prospect. our task this semester is to tackle the problems that those first models of community centers faced and try to come up with the perfect iteration of the community center that matches the lifestyle of the people in the city of Jeddah.

Concept: Inspired by the Old Jeddah, Each group of buildings has a center that combines either a plaza or a mosque. The project revolves around a plaza consisting of narrow corridors that respond to the local wind as in Old Jeddah. The urban nature of the city of Jeddah was studied, and the ratios between the blocks and the spaces were studied and then applied to the site based on the existing entrances.
