MAJARA COMPLEX & COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT

On Hormuz Island, affectionately known as the “Rainbow Island” for its multicoloured geological formations, is the Majara Complex & Community Redevelopment a large-scale redevelopment in systems of knowledge that predate industrial construction. Instead of importing architectural conventions that negate context, the project revives super-adobe - an earthbag method pioneered by Iranian-American architect Nader Khalili as a means to both build and teach.
