The state of peace and stability that has emerged in our universe, after experiencing numerous explosions and chases, has necessarily determined and organized the universe’s elements—such as planets and orbits—in the way we see them today. According to Dr. Abdulhakeem Alyamani, the Head of the Department of Astronomy at King Abdulaziz University, 'regularity, centralization, and unity' are the three principles of stability and continuity for the cosmos. In this project, the design process attempts to emulate the Big Bang in creating our flawless and controlled cosmos, following the three principles mentioned above. Comparable to the Big Bang, applying this process is presumed to provide practical solutions for urban and architectural issues, as well as narrative experiences that are supported by an inconspicuous, harmonious urban and architectural environment. The project’s essential elements replicate the notion of 'regularity, centralization, and unity.
