Abstract
The project is located in the eastern part of the city of Nablus between the old town and the Taxies Terminal of the eastern villages, and passes through the direct pedestrian root from the eastern Terminal through the old town to the centre of the city and vice versa and was confirmed and revive this root through the project. Cultural, social, and economic elements in the Palestinian heritage was Al-Baidar. This is the area where crops are separated and filled. In many cases, the circular shape takes place, and there are many occasions and cooperation between the members of different families. This is reflected in the circular shape of the project, which includes an open outdoor theatre and an internal theatre. To reflect the economic character and preserve the character of the site, which is a commercial area, some shops were added in the circular shape representing the podium. The challenges faced by the Palestinian people, which are trying to conceal the progress and development of a huge umbrella covering a large part of the project, were reflected in the belief that these obstacles could be eliminated. The umbrella was a light steel structure. Coated with translucent ETFE material that limits the passage of ultraviolet rays and contains integrated PVs to supply the project with solar energy.
