The project consists of a Syrian Refugee Rehabilitation center that is integrated in to a Public space. Refugee families are planned engage in activities that are related to their ethnic culture. These ethnic activities hold the potential to engage general public in to the area and turn it into a public space. In a similar fashion to a “China Town”.

Not convinced that this solution responds to the brief
The presentations and drawings are very appealing but we do not beleave that it complies with the requirements of mobility and flexibility that the brief looks for.
This s a really cool project!! I like the way it plays on traditional Middle Eastern motifs to create a different typology!!
As the designer of the project I appreciate the jurors' feedback and comments. However, the brief does not mention seeking mobility whatsoever. So it is a little upsetting to see that the jury voted down the project based on a criteria that wasn't actually mentioned in the brief. I had the impression that the purpose of an idea competition is to entertain alternative solutions and to encourage experimentation. To clarify the project creates a spatial narrative that is based on social flexibility and transiency, and a collaborative space by forming a Syrian refugee market place and rehab in Petite Ceinture. As architects and designers, I think it is important for us to engage with real social problems of the world rather than being stuck in our bubble merely conditioning the space or just decorating it. And it is important to note that the project does not really propose a solution but aims to engage with real urban issues.
