Sheikh Zayed had a firm belief that civilization and wealth are not a reason for us to abandon the traditions we believe in. As we know UAE is a notable country that has great cultural values and raw resources, This transformation caused UAE to gradually lose its cultural identity not being exposed well enough to upcoming generations and to the tourists. As a response to this dilemma, we propose to design a city within an Emirati heritage, but in a modern and contemporary way in order to keep within the track of architectural and technological developments. Since the majority of the case studies have the problem of the lack of shading and ventilation, We propose to design an adjustable shading elements that can close and open according to the climatic condition. Moreover, we propose to develop the traditional brajeel element as now days the air conditions are must in our country, so this element will not be useful as before, so it is needed to be developed by a way that serve us. We created a method, which is to exploit the brajeel as a mist system to cool the ( open spaces ) with the consider of following the narrow arcades to cool the pathways.

In order to develop a concept for this project in specific, certain factors have to be taken into consideration. Since the site is very limited and the aim is to provide multiple facilities, the conceptual design starts with the whole site being one block. Moreover, in order for the project to fit in with the urban fabric of the condensed camp, lines from paths all around the site were extended in order to split the big bulk into smaller parts.
