This study examines generative design to improve urban infrastructure via a sustainable pavilion in Nouakchott, Mauritania. Using Rhino and Grasshopper, the project designs a modular pavilion from recycled tires, addressing environmental and socio-economic challenges. Community involvement aids in creating adaptable spaces. Kangaroo analysis confirms the feasibility of recycled materials, optimizing construction for durability and minimal waste. The pavilion presents a flexible model combining modern architecture with sustainable, community-driven solutions.
