01 Knowledge hub -Biophilia hospitalityLocation – karbabad
The Knowledge Centre is a technology-rich learning environment that uses the concept of individualized learning with both physical and virtual components providing formal and informal opportunities for learners. The project aimed to contribute to developing the community and meeting the demands of the new generation, change societies’ misperception of libraries, promote a culture of intellectual engagement and life-long learning, and create a knowledge society and establish a connection between cultural events, academic and entertaining fields. Design concept: Biophilia hospitality An innate and genetically determined love for the natural world felt universally by humankind. There are three steps for biophilic design, bring in light, soundscape and visual contact
SIte analysIs The site is located in the boundary of Karbabad, which has a diverse context in which the cultural and historical aspects of the region are prominent, making the area very active and attractive. In addition, the site is within the boundary of a residential area facing the shore, which has been used as a community gathering point for various informal activities.

02 Pandemic museum -Transferring the story of the pandemicLocation – Sanabis
My idea is that architecture should touch human's feeling in one way or another, since life without emotion is not life. and telling story is one of the ways to touch human's feeling, so buildings should tell a story to elicit people's emotion. The concept of this design will be: Transferring the story of the disease from beginning to the end by letting people to experience the feeling from now to the future in the spaces they're passing through.
Social disintegration Lost unknown future Confusing Separation Restrictions
Social bonding Straightforward Clarity Directly Continuity Freedom

The area is surrounded mostly by low-rise buildings
Reachable site from different directions
Having bus stops near the site may attract tourists.
