BLACK BOX NEW MEDIA ART CENTER TIME SUPERVISOR SITE
SPRING 2015 UTE POERSCHKE PITTSBURGH
The Site of the project was an Urban-Industrial district, and the streets, and the sidewalks were rather disorganized. Therefore the site of the project was not welcoming for a new media art centre. The Cocept of this project was based on disconnection from the site and its surrounding environment; however there were three valuable moments in the site, and the only openings on the project are facing those moments
6
The openings are at the axis of the important moments of the site, one being the hill behind the site, the other the axis of Penn Ave, toward downtown, and the last the gap in front of site that creates a connection to the river.
7
The interior space of the project was lit by the glass ceiling, this space is the main lobby, and where the galleries are connected to each other
8
The first oor of the project is a plaza, that is open to street, which can be used for street performances
9
The circulation of the project is designed in a way that all, the galleries are accessible with wheelchairs.
10
The Walls and Ceiling of the Auditorium were designed in a way to improve the acoustics of the auditorium, and trying to reach a balance in the volume level of every seat.

RAYSTOWN LAKE RESORT COMPLEX TIME SUPERVISOR SITE
FALL 2014 REBECCA HENN RAYSTOWN LAKE
The site of the project has a great slope, in order to accomplish the concept, which is experiencing the site through different open spaces. The open spaces are cut out of the site mass, on the contour lines, in order to make the project well fitted in the site. The open spaces are connected to each other by walking trails. The Project is linear shaped in plan, which makes it possible for every individual space to have a view of the site.
12
The process of carving the project from the hill was based on the contour lines of the site. The excavated part of the project was then filled again.

THE 115TH JOHN STEWARDSON MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE - 2016
TIME SUPERVISOR SITE
SPRING 2016 SYRIA REFUGEES CAMP
THE HEART OF A NEWBORN COMMUNITY When a women ‘s school is going to be built for a group of people that all they have had for the past few months was a tent, that school is going to have a far more important role as an architecture piece, and an urban space. It is going to be the heart of that community, and it is not going to be just for women. This project is an expandable prototype that can be built for camps with arch tents, and it gives the feeling of a modernized Middle Eastern architecture, that help the refugees feel like home. The modular design of it makes it easier to be expanded in the future. The arches with different lengths create some exterior urban space that can be used by the community, and the courtyard makes the school Introverted, giving women a safer interior space. The direction of the building is toward Qabalah, and the tallest space is the praying room, giving the whole project a religious approach.
16
The courtyard provides a enclosed safe space for women
The outside empty spaces are created to provide seating, and playing area for the rest of the refugees
The project is divided to modules, for easier expanding in the future
The Moduels are turned in to modular Arches, to remind the refugees their hometown, and having the same language as the Arch tents
The project can be expanded in the following directions as the figure shows
The figure above shows, when the school is expanded to house more programs in it

SPRING 2012 RAMIN MADANI AZADAN
The 5th Design studio project was designing a Residential complex in Mirzataher Street in Esfahan,Iran. The concept of the project was creating lots of cubes on the facade and the courtyards to provide public and private open spaces. The houses were all pushed and pulled to provide a good view of the site for all of them..

The module was oriented toward south east for sunlight absorption
The module was cut in to four pieces, and the forth piece was removed to provide an open space
The repetition of the open spaces make a better connection with the site and the green spaces in front of them.
then the module was mirrored to create to housing units, each with an open space
In the next step the two houses were extruded to make four house units.
The upper houses were pushed backward for providing open spaces and balconies

ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF LAAR
TIME SUPERVISOR SITE
FALL 2013 BEHROUZ SHAHBAZI LAR, FARS, IRAN
My Thesis project was a professional project in Piramoun Architectural office, which I continued it as my thesis project, the project was designing the administrative office building of the medical university of Lar. Lar is a city in Fars, Iran. The hot climate of the Lar is one of it’s most important qualities. The goal of this project was to provide courtyard open spaces that could be used during hot seasons.
26
Based on the area of different spaces three masses were created
The masses were transformed in a way to match the current roads on the site
The masses were distanced from each other for providing sunlight and open spaces
The ramps and stairways connected the three masses
The masses were bent to be Perpendicular to the south direction, which is the best direction for sunlight in Lar
The middle mass was lifted up in order to create a path from the main entrance to the back yard behind the project
27
The upper rendering shows the main path that connects the southern and northern facades of the project. This path is used by the students of the university everyday, and plays an important role in connection of the dierent parts of the university.
28
Each tile is colour coded using grasshopper, for better execution of the project. The tiles that are covering the oďŹƒce spaces are usually closed, but the tiles that are used for shading the circulation spaces are more open.
