In an age where global peace is increasingly elusive, Unity Springs emerges as a spatial manifesto against cultural alienation and future resource conflict — particularly over water. The project is rooted in the idea that peace can only grow where cultures converge and empathy replaces borders. Positioned along the Persian Gulf, the architecture becomes a borderless language — redefining the shoreline as a platform for connection rather than separation. HamAb, the core module of the project, serves as a repeatable and adaptable unit designed for diverse coastal communities who believe in a world without borders. Drawing from the historical “Gap Voyage,” in which Iranian sailors once connected Africa, Arabia, India, and Persia through trade and culture, this project reinterprets that journey through form, material, and spatial experience. Echoes of these intercontinental exchanges resonate in every element — from design strategy to cultural cues. Set within a historically significant water-scarce region, the project also revives the memory of a site that once supplied potable water across the Gulf. Now, it stands not just as architecture, but as a call for cultural resilience, environmental sensitivity, and peaceful coexistence.
