Christian Kerez's Four Car Parks in Muharraq, Bahrain, challenge conventional public infrastructure by transforming concrete parking areas into multifunctional spaces for community use. Designed as part of the Pearl Path project, these innovative structures occupy previously unused urban voids and reclaim land for public gatherings and markets. Each car park features unique, sculptural forms and seamless transitions between levels, prioritizing both aesthetics and practicality. With a focus on minimalism, these structures utilize lightweight materials while ensuring stability against natural forces, enhancing the urban landscape in a historically rich area.
Christian Kerez's design reimagines public infrastructure with Four Car Parks in Bahrain, blending sculptural aesthetics with functional utility, reclaiming urban spaces.
The parking areas are designed to host community gatherings and markets, showcasing a vision where infrastructure transcends utility to enrich urban life.
The unique construction involves scripting 75,000 sections, ensuring that no slab is repeated, while maintaining adaptability and structural stability for extreme weather.
Kerez's parking structures not only provide parking but serve as multifunctional spaces that integrate seamlessly into the historical landscape of Muharraq.
