This project explore a dynamic urbanism growth driven by the political powers. The Strait of Hormuz is a geopolitical point of international tension. Close to one-fifth of the world’s crude oil is supplied by Gulf countries that rely on unimpeded travel through the Strait of Hormuz (which is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point), making the strait “The jugular of global economy”.

The site is act like a theatre, where the global powers are the directors, mobilizing the smaller actors and setting forth a series of vigorous events. The nature of the urbanism around the Strait of Hormuz is a very geopolitical one, and the infrastructures built around the region correspond with one another and are interconnected to form a tight functioning system.

Furthermore, the urbanism bears some uncertainty. Because allied countries agree to provide military assistance to, their civilian airports and sea ports can become sites of US military preparation when asked for.Elements such as conflict of religion, arbitrary bombing, oil pollution, nuclear sanctions, etc, inform the decisions made in this area everyday and is reflected in the disciplined urbanism that takes shape. The urbanism extends beyond being a physical site-- it instead encapsulates the marine,the aerial, the intangible telecommunication networks, that collectively serve naval deployment and maritime security in the Persian Gulf.
