The architect is merely the curator. He recognizes and honours a phenomenon which predates his involvement. He has complete authorship for it is his intervention which acknowledges and appreciates the subject, nevertheless the subject is authentic with or without an architect. It is this older authenticity, which originates from the events and social circumstances of the past, that offers weight to the subject. Thus, the architecture for its own sake never prospers. It thrives when it is about the sake of people.

Restaurant Green Restaurant Company’s vertical farming solution can be designed with various dimensions and shapes. This flexibility of the design bring about a possiblity to make the distance between leafy greens and restaurants shorter as ever before


Restaurant Night lighting Vertical farming utilizes a lighting systems called blue/red lighting. It is seen as a purple light which results in the maximum rate of photosynthesis of vegetables. The design takes advantage of this lighting and bring a unique lighting and colour to the spatial configuration of the restaurant

109 Hectares of new agricultural lands are needed

By 2050, The earth’s population will increase by 3 billion and building sector is asked to construct 3 billion new units inside cities. Since one of the human’s fundamental needs is food, the agriculture sector also needs to adjust itself to this growth. Nevertheless, in 2019, Agriculture used 50 per cent of all earth’s habitable land and experts estimate that we need 109 hectares more land to cultivate. Moreover, the FAO (UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization) states that water use grew twice as much as population increase and agriculture already is using approximately 70 per cent of the global freshwater. At this point, experts like Professor Dickinson Despommier suggests that the only way humanity can tackle its future food safety issues is to find ways to introduce vertical farming inside Urban centres.

Parametric Algorithm of the Urban Lens (Grasshopper Component)

The Project starts with the understanding and analysing the current state of the world. Therefore it was also essential to analyse the contemporary tools and their impact inside the architecture. One of the most influential design tools of 2020 is considered to be the parametric architecture and IoT in design. The High Garden thesis tries to study and develop its algorithmic tools. One of the tools that have been developed is an analytical algorithm and component inside grasshopper called urban lense; The input of the algorithm is open street map data of your site or your city and then the algorithm runs a multi-layer analysis for you. It studies and draws a series of analytical layers of illustrations for you. It highlights information such as main transportation routes, building plots and their height and area, the density of the population and speculative analysis of the relation between the size of each block and number of the residents and more.

Urban Lens Component The urban lens is a parametric component which the thesis has developed to analyse existing cities with speed and accuracy. This component feeds the information from OpenStreetMap exports and EPW files and then utilize them to draw conclusions and provide useful information regarding the city blocks and buildings (previous page). Moreover, it is also able to analyse the prospect site in more detail and analyse annual facade sun exposure, wind direction, sun vector direction, etc. This parametric component aimed to help the architect find prospect buildings for its timber extension.

Formed by sustainable timber elements and modularity, the extension results in a distinguished yet subtle intervention between old and new (Fig 1). Provided that the aim of the project is the revitalization of the existing buildings for future and future food safety, the project pushes towards maximum sustainability in its metabolism. The design offers the maximum amount of sustainability in electricity production and water collection through its roof’s design. The building has a closed-loop water cycle since it utilizes aquaponics vertical farming (Fig2). The project combines the vertical farming’s oxygen, light and productions with other programmes such as Eco restaurants, Eco gyms, cafes and Zen areas both for the public and residents of the buildings (Fig 3).

Umeü is known for its dark and cold Nordic winters. Located in an industrial zone, Industrivägen offers neither joy nor protection for pedestrians. To bring light and colour to the street, firstly, the project used light coloured timber with maximum glazing and designed a pedestrian path. Secondly, Because of using open-source, citizen-led construction, each company can use a different colour pallet and shape for their office which offers distinction and individuality to the companies. Protected from the harsh climate outside, companies would maintain their momentum and synergy among them and offer colour and joy to anyone passing the building.

PUBLIC SPACE The building offers free sitting areas with electricity for young entrepreneurs and locals to sit and be included.

Challenges & Achievements

Tehran is a city with a warm climate and one of the challenges of the project was the distribution of the masses and providing shadow for the spaces. Through the final distribution of the masses, the project was able to provide shadow for 50 per cent of the courtyards in mornings and afternoons. The integration of nature with the building was the second challenge. Through parametric architecture, the project provides green and sustainable public and semipublic spaces for the residents.

Challenges & Achievements The biggest challenge of this project was to find a practical way to introduce playfulness and colour to hospitals’ design. The supportive steel structure around the façade supports the colourful pillars around the building. Through parametric adjustment of the height, colour and size of these pillars, the building tries to resemble Lego castles for children.
