Bahrain is a small island suffering from land scarcity, caused by the limited land area and overpopulation. Bahrain will face dramatic problems at all life levels due to the frequent use of horizontal urban growth. However, by observing coastal countries such as Bahrain, Singapore, Japan, etc., some governments tend to reclaim land upon the surrounding water body, to provide enough area for urban development. This results in harming nature and disturbing the ecology of the environment. Therefore, these issues have made designers think about a solution of accommodating a large number of inhabitants with less land area; intended for a sustainable urban solution to cities, and limiting the land reclamation upon the seawater cases. Moreover, the idea of this research is to focus on building communities vertically, giving a solution for the sustainable vision issues: the natural environment, the social, and the engineering elements publication.
