Pearling Path Parkings – Christian Kerez
As part of Muharraq’s ongoing revival, Christian Kerez has designed four multistorey structures for the Pearling Path that reinterpret the parking garage as public architecture. Each building is composed of continuously curving slabs that shift from concave to convex, touching and separating in a seamless sequence. Rather than stacking levels, the slabs form a single spatial flow, creating vantage points, passages, and open platforms within the dense urban fabric. Adapted to their specific sites, the four structures function as porous civic rooms as much as car parks, offering new public spaces that echo the fluidity and complexity of Muharraq’s historic core.
