Concept & Zoning: The park follows a "City to Forest" transition, moving from high-density active zones near the city to passive, tranquil forest zones.
Heritage Integration: The design incorporates Kurdish cultural elements, such as the "Gelmis" motif for circulation paths and an internal street network inspired by the Erbil Citadel.
Blue-Green Networks: Existing water streams are central to the ecology, serving as cooling and biodiversity corridors. A target of complete water circularity is planned through rainwater harvesting, filtration via bioswales, and pond systems. Energy Efficiency: The project emphasizes renewable energy (solar, ground…
Blue-Green Networks: Existing water streams are central to the ecology, serving as cooling and biodiversity corridors. A target of complete water circularity is planned through rainwater harvesting, filtration via bioswales, and pond systems.
Energy Efficiency: The project emphasizes renewable energy (solar, ground source heat pumps) and passive design strategies, such as green roofs, natural insulation, and window orientation to regulate temperature.
Accessibility: Entrances are strategically located around the perimeter to align with urban fabric, supported by diverse circulation paths (pedestrian, cycle, and Personal Rapid Transit).
