P.1 A forest amongst a city London | UK

Type: Academic Kingston School of Art, Architecture and Landscape Thesis Project Year: 2021/22 Indiviual Work

With today’s climate issues, the world must devise a better solution to protect our planet. A forest amongst a city is a project designed in Tobacco Lane, Pennington Street, east London. The idea behind this project is for people to grow, live, and learn it. as stated in the name, this project is about using trees and improving biodiversity in a city context. The site will be planted with hundreds of pine trees to create a forest in the heart of London, and the buildings will be located among these trees. The project’s first phase is to design a construction school with classrooms, workshops, a construction hall, a coffee shop and office spaces. The second phase, which is shown here is designing residential apartments to work as a co-living space amongst the trees.

This project will help people and society learn about the opportunities and challenges of science-based innovations, discuss their sustainability and respond appropriately

So far, it looks like a typical architectural project, but the exciting fact about this project is using trees as load-bearing elements. In the beginning, these buildings will stand on usual steel columns. But in this project, baubotanical structures are an integral part of the building structure. With the help of the plant addition, baubotanical structures can be realized directly in the dimension of the surrounding buildings. After 10 - 15 years, the trees will be strong enough to bear the load of the structure, and after that, it’s time to remove the columns, and the building will stand with the help of trees. The primary materials will be steel beams, glulam timber joists, glass and light steel framing for the walls to make the whole building as light as possible. In a project like this that surrounds by lots of wood, fire safety is a concern. Therefore, the glulam timber joists have been chosen for the floor system to improve the fire resistance of the building.

1. Client Information In London’s social, political, and economic history, Tower hamlets have been a critical player. Since it served as a vital trade route from central London to the east, the borough has been a focal point for London and the UK throughout the years. Tower Hamlets has developed into the leading global centre for the financial, technological, and creative industries. It can potentially be the site of exciting discoveries and technological breakthroughs in the twenty-first century (Tower Hamlets, 2022). 2. Project Objectives Greater London Authority established a 3931 yearly housing objective for tower hamlets located in east London. By 2025, it is anticipated that the neighbourhood will be able to accommodate an additional 39310 units (Tower Hamlets Local plan 2031); however, the site is currently empty. This project is about comprehensive adult education and cohousing in the city, and the idea is to find a way to integrate people with nature so they can see how they are part of it. The first phase of the project is a construction school and the second phase which is the most important part of this projec is designing a co-housing building. Co-housing is a concept of shared living space that provides highquality rental housing for young professionals in cities, combining private and communal living spaces with flexible terms. The goal is to support the council’s initiatives to develop the community’s economy and infrastructure. Based on the project, the site will be constructed from the ground up as a campus for new ways of living that are connected and dependent upon nature. The design consists of several towers with private apartments that serve as residences for various people and public educational buildings that operate as an educational component of the project. The plan has 128 private rooms that are divided into four different types. Each tower has 16 in-suite rooms with a shared communal area, kitchen, laundry room and rooftop. In addition, there are ten classrooms, a construction hall, public restrooms, a storage room, a coffee shop, and office space in the educational portion of the plan, which is separate from the residential part of the site. 3. Target Audience Young adult, students, remote worker, urban professionals, and those who appreciate the concept of shared spaces and openness. 4. Project Goals • Providing co-housing units, a communal environment, and an educational zone for the borough of tower hamlets and all of London. • Raising community morale by offering educational and economic amenities • Improving Tower Hamlets and London’s biodiversity by creating a forest in the middle o the city. • Educating people about treating nature by using them for taking care of the tree structures.

Design Process

a.ii

a.i

In the initial phase of the design process, the building’s perimeter was established.

In this phase, the central core and shear walls’ initial shape and placement were designed.

Stage 1:

Stage 2:

the first level of trees are being plant in the ground itself, and the other young trees are being placed in special containers which can provide them with nutritions and water. At this stage the steel columns that we’ll build the structure with are acting as load bearing elements.

After a period of 5-6 years the trees are getting mature and big enough. this stage is the initial phase where we will remove the containers. The columns are still in place becausse the trees structure is not strong enough to hold the building.

a.iii

At this stage, the openings and final shape of the concrete structure were designed Stage 3: After 10-15 years depending on the type of the tree they are big and mature enough and they can act as a load bearing element. At this stage the columns will be removed and structure will depend on the trees

a.iv

At this stage, columns were strategically positioned on the ground floor to support the structure until the trees reached maturity.

a.vii

a.v

At this stage, intial shape of each floor were added to the structure

a.vi

In the final design stage, all elements were integrated to form the building’s structure before incorporating the tree framework.

For the final stage of designing, all elements were harmoniously integrated to define the final shape of the structure and the building.

For this project, I chose three distinct tree species that are excellent for tree structure: cherry (Prunus Avium), brich (Betula Pendula), and plane (Platanus Acerifola). While all three spicies are particularly appropriate for live plant building due to their anotamox structure and development patterns, they differ significantly in shape and effect: From spring to October, the cherry offers a variety of beautiful atmospheres. In the spring, white blossom rings appear, followed by dense green foliage and exquisite fruit in the summer, and a brilliant red colouring in the autumn. With its black and white bark structure, the birch makes an impact all year and generates spacious, mostly translucent interiors. Pruning will greatly shape the growth of the plane trees. This creates a knotty stem structure with a late yet dense and brilliant green leaf flush.

P.2 Stiff Surface roof London | UK

Type: Academic Kingston School of Art, Architecture and Landscape Making Architecture Year: 2020/21 Team Work

The project began with a case study into the California City Civic Centre by Konrad Wachsmann. The main features included a strong, lightweight fiberglass roof strung with high-tension cables between massive abutments, which gave a formal simplicity. The space below could be configured in almost endless variations due to the lack of supporting walls. The aims of the project were to emulate the same form as the precedence: creating a visibly understood structure revolvingaround a heavy ‘pull’ force. This was already proven to be successful in the precedence model photography, which utilised simple mechanical objects to visualize tension. This became the set up of the project, as creating a model from widely ‘understood’ objects allowed the form of the overall of the structure to become comprehensible.

In this project, I was in charge of making both Physical and 3D models of the concepts, studying on the structure system and taking the final pictures.

The early iterations of the model used engineering bricks and bicycle wire, which were not only used to recreate the arms of the structure, but also replicate the mechanical tension through the use of free hanging weights. The model had now evolved a form of its own, with the tension of the cables now being displayed by the sheer weight of the objects pulling them rather than being hidden in the abutments. Further iterations began to build on this concept. The first major change was the complete removal of a base from the structure. This forced the weights that held the cable in tension above the ground, and thus must be displayed openly. Engineering bricks were replaced with concrete elements, to increase the visible weight of the structure while also providing the texture of a real size building. This inevitably lead to an increase in size of the overall structure, which only pronounced the forces at work within its form. Additionally, the model was simplified throughout to only use building material elements fixed together with the cable itself. This change allowed the necessary configurations of the elements to stand without a base, as they were now flexible enough to act against each other and subsequently create equilibrium. The more pronounced form took its tole on the cable specifically, which ended up changing drastically over the timeline of the project. From rigid steel cable to more elastic fishing wire, the cable transformed from a visibly rigid to a more grand display of strength in perceptibly weaker materials. Methods were developed through looping that allowed weaker strings to be able to carry above their maximum load, further emphasizing the massive weights these impossibly thin strings could hold.

Cinder blocks became the main construction element of the structure, as they were recognisably heavy and had the necessary form for threading the model together. Furthermore, their texture and shape gave way to fascinating architectural moments within. The further simplification of the model improved its already understandable form, by creating a sense of a balancing act held together with the interwoven cable. The efficiency of using only one building element allowed easy experimentation with the composition aswell, with many different configurations produced studying different forces and spatial qualities. Refinement further exemplified the feelings the project was aiming to create. Light work was applied to the cinder blocks by filing specific edges to create channels for the cable to run down. The cable was also changed to a bright red colour, to make it stand out completely from the concrete and visualise tension. Overall, the project was an interesting exploration into the precedence set by the California City Civic Center. Through further simplification and efficiency, the outcome became an adjustable structure which in itself was efficient and architecturally peculiar. However, only one aspect was developed through. With further development the other main aspect of the roof could have been experimented with more to find a compatible solution.

Technical

Design Process

The final design of the project revolved around simplicity, culminating in few materials, components and processes of construction. This meant a lot of technical research was required, as perfecting the different elements of the design meant we could take its form to its full potential. A key aspect of the design was its flexibility. Blocks could be rearranged without the need for re-threading the cord. Extended experimentation was the also a bulk of the project, testing and observing different arrangements.

Every combination gave unique form, architectural moments and varying degrees of tension in the cord aswell as systems for adjusting said tension. Despite the project aiming to finalise around one combination, this process has proven how much further the design can be taken. The final design of the project revolved around simplicity, culminating in few materials, components and processes of construction. This meant alot of technical research was required, as perfecting the different elements of the design meant we could take its form to its full potential.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Begin assembly by laying cinder blocks A horizontally, facing each other on opposing ends at the desired distance.

Lay cinder block B so that it would be positioned at a 30 degree angle to block A. The short edge of block B should be just resting on the long edge of block A.

STEP 3

STEP 4

Place cinder block C upon and perpendicular to cinder block B so that its flush with the highest edge. The red cord represented in the diagram here is attached and looped into the washer where it comes out the narrow gap in the centre of the block (See Appendix for further instructions).

STEP 5

STEP 6

Pull both C blocks downwards until the cord is in tension. This should occur as block C is over the center of block B.

Loop the cord according to the Appendix and pull the washer tight against the block.

LOOPING THE CORD THROUGH THE WASHER The looping method allows the cord to be tightened effectively even when pressed against the block, while also providing a clean finish and equal tension throughout the system

FINAL MODEL - 2 UNITS

EXTENDED MODEL - 6 UNITS

The final model allows a series to be formed when placed next to each other. As well as each block composition being mirrored, it is obivous that a conversation can be drawn with the way the cord spans and connects in and around the blocks. The simple overall arrangement when explored closely presents an overall complexity which is expressed overall in the California Civic Centre. What makes the final model successful is how the project transforms the complexity of the precedent into a complexly simpler form.

The final design portrays the rhythmic nature of each block. From the final model, when scaled up a series can be juxtaposed to create an order to the design. The scaled model drawing draws upon the architectural features that was explored throughout the project. The main interior space beneath the cords correlates itself to mirror the secondary spaces created by the positioning of the blocks. Noticing these features in the California Civic Centre, the project felt obliged to recognise and draw attention to these architectural forms. As a result the overall design produces its own architectural symphony that is reinforced by its elements.

The final composition of the project was the culmination of several factors. The complex form is consistent with previous developments but also creates a constant architectural flow making each cinder block dependent upon the other. The final finish becomes one architectural element - rather than three individual elements as trialed at the start. In creating this "lever arm" design, moments around and under the blocks are created which creates a semi private walkway, away from the main open space under the cords. There is a "risk factor" that can be experienced when walking under the in between space and emphasizes the weight of the structure. Inhabitants can understand and visualise the forces of the overall structure through exploration. This final composition can be

Form Visualisation The images down the left column show the precedence model photography that inspired this project. The images on the right is the final model, attempting to emulate these images through the same techniques, material and photo composition. The outcome was to capture the same feelings as these precedent photos, explaining the structural form through easily understood materials and concepts.

Certain aspects of the project were developed through this method. The red cables were specifically utilised to emphasise the rope and allow it to stand out from the cinder blocks. The slight elasticity and viscosity of the rope allowed it to be adjusted properly to achieve a homogenous high tension along the entire length. The method of tying the rope to the washer at the end was also developed to simplify the structure further, leaving nothing hidden on how the blocks fit together.

What Is Co-working Space?

P.3 Kario Co-working Space Tehran | Iran

Type: Professional Design Studio: Farbod Mehr Design Studio Client: Tehran Tarak Co. Year: 2019 Area: 800 sqm Team Work

Co-working is an arrangement in which several workers from different companies share an office space, allowing cost savings and convenience through the use of common infrastructure such as equipment, utilities, receptionist, custodial services and in some cases refreshments and parcel acceptance services. It is attractive to independent contractors, independent scientists, telecommuting, work-at-home professionals and people who travel frequently. Additionally, co-working helps workers avoid the isolation they may experience while telecommuting, travelling or working at home, while also eliminating distractions. Some coworking spaces charge membership dues.

Walk into a coworking space and you’ll immediately notice that it feels different from a regular office. The smell of fresh coffee in the air is second only to the electric atmosphere that the energetic and excited occupants bring to the space. You’ll see a mix of those in deep focus at private desks and others striking up engaging conversations at large shared tables. This is the culture of the coworking spaces. In my role as the senior architect for the project, I led a dedicated team and maintained direct communication with the client throughout the entire process. Taking charge of various aspects such as space planning, interior design, acoustics, technology integration, and branding, I provided guidance and direction to the team members. Collaborating closely with them, we worked towards achieving the project objectives. Additionally, I ensured open lines of communication with the client, actively understanding and addressing their needs and preferences. By leveraging my leadership skills and fostering effective teamwork, I successfully delivered an exceptional and innovative coworking space that exceeded the client’s expectations.

In this Project we aimed to provide : Working Desks Brainstorming Hubs Meeting Rooms Gaming room Management Office Library

Dig.02 Extention towards Y axis

Villa for a family was a project that I worked on when I started my internship back in 2017. In this project I was in charge of making the 3D model of this Villa, designing the architectural plans, sections and elevations. The site of the project is located in Mohammad Shahr region (near Tehran - Iran) with a pleasant climate, where many Tehran residents spend their weekends in. The project site had 4,000 Sq.M area and was surrounded by neighbouring gardens. The total area designated for building was 500 Sq.M, of which 150 Sq.M was allocated to exterior voids and semi-covered spaces. In this project the open exterior spaces are as significant as the interiors. The architects accomplished this by eliminating any suggestive distance between outside and inside. The result became a series of voids and volumetric projects that capture and define the landscape. Continuous views towards the X, Y and Z axis’s were created and the main spaces are organized between transparent layers extended by voids or semi-covered balconies.
