Project Idea
There is no doubt that any societal prosperity should target individuals by promoting mental and physical health and there is a saying that a healthy mind is in a healthy body and a healthy body needs a healthy environment that must be adopted by providing psychological relaxation to relieve the pressures of daily life by community participation in physical activity outdoors , this, in turn, needs an infrastructure that includes providing green spaces and safe paved corridors for those who practice their physical activity, and beautiful landscapes for the sport of meditation that brings psychological satisfaction.
An architect is not just as concerned with filling the space with building units of various shapes, but with qualitative homogeneity with their surroundings, he is also interested in landscapes, which represent the role of straw between pieces of glass to protect it from breakage
For all of the above, we find that the project idea in itself is an excellent idea that deserves support
Project descriptions
In 2011 we visited Angola to hold the 11th African Union of Architects Congress in Luanda and we were amazed at the magnificent landscape design along the Atlantic Ocean corniche with more than 2 km length and about 200 meters’ width, with safe lanes for walking, jogging and cycling, comfortable seats for meditation, spaces for singing and Dancing for young people without hearing pollution for others. This is similar to the current project descriptions
Our Recommendations
• Community Participation
This project was certainly preceded by an analytical study of the beneficiaries of the people through a questionnaire on the type of physical activity, whether walking, jogging or cycling, and even meditation and artistic cultural activity for young people
• Participation of the Municipalities
Linking the project to the services provided by the municipality (water, sewage, waste transportation, etc.)
• Traffic Department
To avoid any traffic intersections that may lead to accidents, full coordination with the Traffic Department must be done
• Consultations Service
Greenness is the main factor for psychological comfort, so taking the opinions of psychiatrists and agriculturalists on the quality of green areas that achieve the goal
• Aquatic Life
To deal with waterfronts, consultations must be taken from marine science experts to determine the quality of aquatic life
These recommendations include some points as explained above about the project, with my wishes for a great success
