Due to the spiritual significance of Sehwan Sharif Shrine, the increasing number of its visitors and pilgrims is creating spatial and social concerns. A creative solution was sought after for the congestion issues. The design solution involved the accommodation of a large number of people through doubling the existing sites surfaces. Such solution was achievable by adding new grounds in a ramp-like form. The ramped grounds were proposed to facilitate the pilgrim’s movement between the different levels; moreover it helped providing a convenient connection with the shrine especially for wheelchairs and elderly people.
