占地2534平米的Wasit自然保护区曾是一个垃圾堆填区，这里污水四溢、人迹罕至。2005年，由政府主导的生态恢复项目给这片土地带来了一次新的机会，40000m2的垃圾被清走，取而代之的35000棵树木让饱受化学物品侵蚀的土地重获生机，慢慢转变为独特的盐滩、海岸沙丘景观。

经过多年的精心培育，繁茂的自然环境成功地吸引了大量鸟类，成为了350种留鸟的繁衍地、33000只候鸟的冬季栖息地、以及沙迦城区的绿肺。

Wasit Natural Reserve was originally a waste-water and rubbish dump. The rehabilitation process of the damaged eco-system started in 2005, 40,000m2 of rubbish removed, 35,000 trees been re-planted, healing the land from toxic chemicals and conservation of the Unique salt flats and coastal sand dunes.

After years of efforts to bring the non-migratory birds back to the site, WNR is now home to 350 species of birds, a landing zone for 33,000 migrate birds, and a breathing lung to Sharjah city.

而场地中央的湿地游客中心将进一步强化生态保护区的作用，向到来的访客展示湿地生态系统的丰富和多元，介绍生活于此的鸟类的各种信息以及阿联酋国内的其它湿地系统。这里俨然成为了鸟类爱好者和研究人员的观测天堂。

微微下陷的建筑深藏于环境之用，利用地形将其对自然景观的视觉影响降至了最低。游客将顺着小路，进入这个半下沉的线型建筑。全透明的玻璃幕墙将鸟类生活的自然环境毫无保留的展现在人们面前，而模糊的室内外界限让人仿佛身处其中，带来震撼的参观体验。

A wetland visitor center is established on site to continue protecting the natural environment, educate people on the richness of the wetland ecosystem and provides information about the birds that frequent the area and other wetlands areas of the emirate. The facility became heaven for bird watchers and researchers.

The architecture of the center blends with its’ surroundings and uses the existing topography to minimize the visual impact on the natural scene. When visitors arrive, a pathway leads them underground into a linear Gallery. A fully transparent wall allows the visitors to experience the birds’ natural environment and become part of it.
