Inspired by the project’s powerful name, Spark X, our design team harnessed the strength of these keywords, translating them into a dynamic and innovative masterplan. The result is a striking X-shaped layout, reminiscent of a mathematical equation (*+x), the final result is an 8 arms star symbolizing interconnectedness and unity.
This design choice spans the entirety of the park, ensuring a harmonious integration of every facility and circulation within the vast 85,000 m² site.
 
Located in Sharjah, Spark X stands out with its unique design – a large X-shaped masterplan. This innovative layout ensures that every facility and circulation is seamlessly accommodated within the expansive 85,000 m² site. The X-shaped design extends throughout the entire park, providing a cohesive and dynamic structure for an enhanced visitor experience.

To further enhance the functionality and experience of Spark X, we strategically assigned distinct programs to each arm of the star-shaped masterplan. Those aligned with the vertical and horizontal axes offer leisure and resting outdoor activities, creating serene spaces for relaxation. In contrast, the diagonally arranged arms house revenue-generating venues, including sports fields, exhibition spaces, open cinema and F&B establishments, adding vibrancy and economic vitality to the park.
 
Beyond its role as an entertainment park, Spark X is a thoughtfully curated space designed to cater to a broad audience.

As a testament to Sharjah’s commitment to tourism development, Spark X is set to become a landmark destination, contributing significantly to the city’s vibrant cultural and entertainment scene.

Metropolitan Intervention

What is a metropolitan intervention?
This is the largest scale type of interventions that take place in the public realm of a city, related to the altering of an important portion of a city. A type of intervention of such magnitude and notoriety that impacts not only at neighborhood scale, but rather the way the city is perceived and experienced, becoming a metropolitan landmark, a metropolitan super-attractor of social interactions, and a trendy international destination for local citizens & tourists.
 
This typology combines urban planning and landscape design, intervening the city at waterfronts, bridges, parks, or whole districts, by improving the quality of its public realm, creating spaces of opportunity for collective outdoor leisure, mixed-use entertainment spaces, play & joy, etc. Interventions of this proportions catalyze major social interactions across the city, boosting commercial activity and real estate development.
 
This typology is normally used by Municipalities & Local Governments to revitalize public spaces and establish a unique brand and identity for their cities, making them more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and engaging for the community, with innovative urban solutions that enhance the quality of life and promote economic development & tourism.
