Architectural and Urban Studies are the interweaven of implementation, culture, creativity, unity, image-ability and on and on. Learning about them all seems like a never ending task. I got educated in the fields of architecture, urban design, and urban planning, with a bachelor and master in architectural engineering and a master in Geo-futures program; post professional program in architecture and urbanism. My studies have helped me broaden my knowedge in terms of architecture, urban studies, utopian design and planning. Moreover, having had education in Iran and US also provided me the opportunity of learning from variety of observations and approaches not just about architectural and urban studies but also design and sociology. Currently, I am perusing my studies in the PhD program of Urban Planning and Public Policy, in the College of Architecture, Planning and Public Affairs (CAPPA) at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Preliminary Research STUDY ON trend SPECIFICof MATERIALS BEHAVIOR THE RELATION OF LABORATORY STUDY AND IDEA GENERATION LABORATORY The popular mass production has occurred about The edible products as well, in consequence, the quality of foods have been turning down and obesity and other unhealthy consequences have been increasing, It is not so far to reach the red alarm situation. In this projects initial research works revealed that the portion of food consumption is not consistent with the numbers of food distributorship’s, results of research works are represented below through several maps, statistic data, and an analytical report on a documentary on growth of food’s mass production called “Food Fight” by Christopher Taylor; produced in 2008. Based on the aforementioned justifications which zre ging to be proof through the following information, in addition to just having some farmlands outside of Los Angeles city within Los Angeles agglomeration I started to work on finding a solution for lack of adequate amount of farmlands within Los Angeles. This idea was accompanied with the idea of developing farmlands on the vacant lands near Los Angeles river beside modDOUGH ifying the current drainage system of city in order to grasp surface water accumulation to the Sriver within the vacant lands ; proposed DOUGH IS THE MATERIAL THAT WITHIN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES MAKE DIFFERENT QUEEZING WET DOUGH AMONG 2 SURFACES, future site for urban farmland generation.

Anticipating urban farming be notably a critical of urban construction, vacant potential lands along the L.A. river is considered to be Agriscape.
Food Fight documentary by Christopher Taylor and narrated by Justin Kirk, a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement rebelled against big agribusiness to launch the local organic food movement. Food Fight opens with a bit of history about food production eating habits over the past half century. Beautifully shot and well written, we are treated to a series of interviews with food luminaries such as Alice Waters, Dan BarNEURON’S TRANSMITTER ber, Wolfgang Puck and Michael Pollan, who frankly, hold exactly the same views about food, cooking and eating. It’s no accident that all do agree with them. These are the people who created the local, seasonal RECEPTOR ITE food movement as we know it today and who are at the forefront of trying Sto exact some change in the N EURON’Stoday CONNECTION way Americans shop and eat. Most of what is available to us in the grocery store is barely edible; tasteless vegetables cultivated for ease of shipping and processed foods that are making us fat and sick.

Vacant Lands along the L.A. River Within city near LA river several vacant lots can be found, most of them are located in the industrial zone of city and along the river, moving to north west some others can be found, The area of vacant sites are vast enough in order to develop multi use green lands with concentration on agricultural production. In this phase the location of vacant lands are evaluated and shown over a map and aerial pictures of them. In this phase, location, land from, juxtaposition, distance to the river, its connection to the sewage system, and etc. were evaluated. The evaluated factors were applied to provide the designed land form. Applying the processing software which works based on the JAVA programming language, the mentioned factors play the role as an agent which their circulation were affected by those factors, and the trail of their circulation caused the final form. On the right side, the outcome of running the software (proceesing working on JAVA programming language) witconsidering the effect of several mentioned factors is shown phase by phase.

2007
Shiraz sprawl has been occured during the history of this city, as it was shown in this chart form 1976 till 2007, urban size has enlarged and this tren is keeping on with its harmful effects.
Buyid Dynasty 934–1062 Safarian-Deylamian Dynasty 861 – 1000 Safavieh-Zand Dynasty 1501 – 1794 Zand-Qajar Dynasty 1750 – 1952 III. Shiraz Inner-city’s Changes During the History (Palimpsest of Shiraz Inner-city)
Due to aforementioned points it a strong need for decreasing the peace of urban growth of Shiraz, accordingly the solutions based on various theories of urban science should be applied. In this regard the neighborhoods in inner zones of the city should be mentioned inasmuch as residents prefer to live in this area or they prefer this zones more than neighborhoods established throughout suburb. Firstly Gentrification theory was selected as cure to the issue fast urban growth in Shiraz city. In this regard the Inner-city of Shiraz should be determined firstly. Next step the approaches of Gentrification should mixed with the identical parameters of the city for achieving the best Urban Rehabilitation.

Studies Show that Green Spaces and Gardens, Has Had an Imperative Role in the Life Style of Shirazis Residing in the Inner-city from the Buyid Dynasty (the Era that Shiraz City Emerged), thus Since this Project Wants to Revitalize the Inner-city, Returning to Some Parameters; Which are Rooted in History, is the Main Objective of This Project. Accordingly, Garden and Urban Palimpsest of that Area was Applied in This Project.
Due to Historical Identity of Site and Objective of Project, We Used Urban Morphology in English School, Thus the Historical Identity of Site is Going to be Strengthened.
1 I needed Palimpsest and Urban Texture of the Region, These Parameters were Applied in order to Draw Morphology in The English Style, Morphology in English Style were Applied as one of the Parameter of Designing.
2 In order to Draw Urban Morphology in English Style (School) Overlapping Accesibilities and Urban Texture of the Region is Needed, These Parameters were Applied in order to Draw Morphology in The English Style and Applied as the Parameters of Designing, Which are Showed Below.
3 In order to Draw Urban Morphology in English Style (School) Overlapping the Direction of Construction and Buildings and Urban Texture of the Region is Needed, These Parameters were Applied in order to Draw Morphology in The English Style and Applied as the Parameters of Designing, Which are Showed Below.

Traditional method of architecture in Iran is full of salvation for the issue of high energy consumption. Provided that authorities take timely measures in updating these information, easily the energy consumption could reduce signiďŹ cantly.
B. Arch. Design Studio (II) Museum of Contemporary Arts, Shiraz, Iran Shiraz embeds in Iran, and has an international reputation history in terms of Persian art, since it does not have any locus for the contemporaneity art, Autodesk Auto CAD, 3DsMax, Adobe Photoshop
Over This Course Main Promise was Getting Students, Mind Involved with Special Forms; Therefore, Title of Museum was Chosen. In Other Words, Despite Past Studios Students Have Less Limitation Regarding The Form. However, In Order to Increase Feasibility, Students Were Expected To Consider The Limitations Regarding The Structure Systems, Which Students Learned, and This Issue Still Had a SigniďŹ cant Role During Design Process.

MAIN GALLERY BUILDING IS MADE UP OF 3 FLOORS, IN THIS PART A 3% RAMP PROVIDES ACCESSIBILITY AND ALSO MAKES VISITING AREA IN ORDER TO HAVE A BETTER VISIT, IDEA IS STEM FROM GUGENHEIM MUSEUM. THIS TYPE MUSEUM SHOULD BE REPRESENTED BY AN IDENTICAL AND SPECIAL FORM, THEREFORE, ITS IMAGE WOULD BE MORE DURABLE AND CAN ACT AS LANDMARK IN THE CITY; IN OTHER WORDS, IS SHOWING ITS FUNCTION AND ITS RELATION TO ART. MOREOVER, THE DESIGN OF THIS SORT OF MUSEUM, THEIR LOCATION OR SITE SHOULD BE ANALYZED IN A PRECISE WAY AS IT WAS SHOWN IN LAST PAGE. THUS, THE PROCESS OF SITE SELECTION SHOULD BE DONE THROUGH CONSIDERING AND CONCENTRATING ON ALL THE DETAILS.

This park was a part of Great Old Garden (AďŹ fabad gardan) is Shiraz, Like all the other traditional Iranian gardens contains a belvedere, but in smaller scale, which shows its history. The belvedere now has a great social function in Shiraz and is called CENTER FOR RECOGNITION OF SHIRAZ which is surroanded by a metal fence. For a while time it was matter of debate that this fence does not suit to the Center and belvedere. Therefore my design was purposed to desicion makers of municipality of shiraz and eagerly become accepted, The administrative process is establishing. The design represent A MULTI PURPOSE WALL built of wood,brick and turquoise tiles, These materials vastly were used in traditional Iranian buildings. Also this design provide a stand for gallery which can be established in public space (is inconsistent with park), Because of warm or moderated weather which shiraz has in almost 8 months of year, this wall can variously be used.
