Mask Architects"s founders Öznur Pınar ÇER and Danilo PETTA have designed " the artificial breathing palm modular structure system".
We have designed The ‘Oasys’ as an Oasis that is located in the middle of the city to our allocated space in which we will transform the space into a comfortable habitable area for the residents of Abu Dhabi.
We see and realize the need for such measures to be taken to create such spaces in our developing societies.
As Abu Dhabi seeks to grow its vibrant and diverse city, it can be seen that it has growing industries in tourism, education, finance and culture that allows Abu Dhabi to thrive.
So we agree that outdoor thermal comfort instalments are important to public and private spaces as well as the sectors that will see the ease of threat from climate change to urban development and society.
We have designed an Oasis that protects Abu Dhabi’s residents and makes their lives more environmentally sustainable and healthy for them to be able to use outdoor spaces more effectively in their daily routines.
It is important that we keep the residents socially and physically engaged with their surroundings by increasing their desire to interact with outdoor spaces.
So we have designed a multi-use space in which it will act as a refuge from the surrounding areas that are overheated.
There can be temporary pop-up stands, cafes, sitting areas, exhibition sites, nature retreats, etc. At the Oasis we have created answers to all the issues of modern urban and social space development that we face in such environments in the region.
The Artificial Breathing Palm modular structure system, ‘Oasys’ is inspired by palm leaves to create a real oasis. You can see that already it has a unique aesthetic look from the surrounding areas as well as keeping in touch with the local cultural heritage and landscape of historical and modern design.
The “Oasis” design concept has been influenced by the need to create a greener city as well as creating a real oasis in the middle of the city. The Oasis is designed not only for today but for the future in mind too. We also offer to distribute the ‘The Oasys design concept’ around Abu Dhabi to make the city greener.
Besides the flexible and replaceable design line, any outdoor functions are adapted easily into the ‘Oasys’ concept mechanism that can be replicated easily to form a network of hubs and centre points in which they act as islands of rest places, socializing and sociable communal for the collective and community.
The modular design allows groupings of the palm structures that can be implemented in various and multiple spaces of all scales and environments as each module is scalable to need.
The foundations that house all the water storage and vital equipment will be set up first to the appointed land where cooling is required.
Our installation modules can be temporary as to when needed and focus on the shoulder months of May to October as well as permanent.
The palm canopies are underlined with nozzles that spray mist into the air to create a cooler environment. This in return will keep the temperature low and controllable in the Oasis area.
We wanted to create cool and breathable outdoor spaces. We will collect and harvest solar energy with solar panels placed on the roofs of the palms.
With the foundation housing storage units, we will be able to store electricity as well as able to distribute it at outlet points. The palms and branches of the structure, it allows protection from wind and sound.
We would like to block out all external effects from the surrounding area and stop them from entering the space, as wind and noise. This allows for creating a calm and peaceful environment.
