Some applicable sketches
The first is something like the scene of the site I'm looking into in Doha. Major interchange, Corniche (& CBD?) in the distance, the Gulf, desert-type, water air and land use concerns? Also, transportation & arrival is critical. The water table question comes up because I know that in Dubai the water table is something like 30' or so underground and that becomes important with excavation concerns.
I started thinking about those (excavation) ideas based on the second set of sketches, which are elaborations on the resource usage question and what is the "reach" of my intervention going to be? Continuous volumes linking below-grade to higher atmosphere would allow significant ventilation via stack effect and cooling air could be utilized for the harsh sun exposures.
Integrate this with "Open Source". The pulling in/over the transportation network is inclusive, design the space they would be occupying.
