This project encompassed an in-depth exploration of diverse structures during the design phase, resulting in the creation of constructed pavilions. Emphasizing the pressure pavilion as the primary example, meticulous modeling and reciprocal processes led to the design of new joints. The design and construction of a replica followed a systematic five-step approach to achieve the desired joint. A compression form was then created using the "Rhino VAULT 2" plugin, integrating previously derived joints. Components were extracted via software to produce a 1/25 replica. Finally, canopy design tailored to the pavilion’s location and pavilion furniture aimed to foster enhanced student interactions within the university were developed in tandem, aligning with the student pavilion's objectives.
Challenge: Manufacturing this module at a very large scale is difficult, particularly due to the intricate gap control necessary for its connections.
Solution: Partitioning the panel into smaller components and altering their interconnection to a circular design.
Challenge: The base and connecting circles in the section that links the panel module to the base have weak connections.
Solution: Strengthening the connections between the bases using a circular design and changing the panel module connection to the handle to a tab-and-slot configuration.
Challenge: Lack of complete symmetry in the overall shape.
Solution: Redesigning the shape to achieve perfect symmetry.

The images displayed below have been obtained from the Rhino Wallet plugin. Within this plugin, achieving the most optimal skin involves a multi-stage form-finding process. In these visual representations, areas in red signify higher pressure, while those in blue depict lower pressure.
We utilized the Ladybug plugin to find the best way to position and design the sunshade. By altering the structure's direction, we calculated the minimum and maximum radiation received, resulting in values of 3.1287e+7kWh/m^2 and 3.18e+7kWh/m^2, respectively. Due to Kashan's hot, dry climate, we chose the direction with the least radiation as optimal, and then positioned sunshades on areas receiving radiation in the "black range" for user comfort.

The study delves into factors impacting shell structures—form, support conditions, condition of openings, spring stiffness, materials, and type of supports. Using a 10-meter shell pavilion model, it assesses their impact. Analysis involves Rhino Vault and Karamba plugins in Grasshopper to evaluate form and stress. Shell shape influences stress distribution. More supports reduce critical stresses. Openings shift stress from supports to nearby areas. A taller shell lowers tensile and compressive stresses. Wood minimizes stresses. Rigid supports intensify compressive stresses over rollers.

Kashan, Iran | 2023
We undertook a design project for an exhibition greenhouse space in Qamsar, near Kashan, with a focus on integrating innovative technology and materials. Given its specialized use as a greenhouse, the space required a transparent roof to facilitate sunlight penetration, leading us to employ an ETFE coating for the roof system. This involved dividing the roof into five curved sections, each covered by a hexagonal system of uniform dimensions, designated for ETFE covers. Considering the region's temperate climate, ideal for plant growth, we incorporated movable roof panels situated above the garden areas. These panels could be opened during gentle, rainy periods, partially alleviating the need for irrigation and air conditioning systems.

DESIGN PROCESS
The roof system includes two types of fixed and movable panels. Both types of panels are hexagons of the same size. Designing inspiration from the Angel's trumpet flower, movable panels were designed to sit atop the gardens. The flower's natural opening and closing mechanism influenced the system, where a central ring moves up and down a fixed line to open and close the panels.

CAVILION
Academic Project | group Work Instructors: D.Keramat, A.Derazgisou, K.Khodabakhshi, M.Behjoo Tehran, Iran| 2023
The DigiPy workshop, a hybrid digital fabrication event, was held in summer 2023 by digitalFUTURES, Digital Craft House, and Dahi Studio. The workshop introduced 48 students to computational design and digital fabrication, culminating in the construction of a 1:1 scale pavilion. Students learned design concepts, proposed forms, and selected the best design for development. They were actively involved in the digital fabrication process, from CNC machine production to assembly of the final bending-active structure. The final bending-active structure, named “Cavilion”, was assembled at the University of Tehran in three days.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY
The Cavilion project leverages bending to induce elastic deformations, transforming flat elements into curved shapes during installation. This design methodology offers simplicity, ease of transportation, efficiency, and adaptability. By utilizing elastic deformation, the project achieved a complex structure with minimal complexity, showcasing a innovative and effective approach.
WORKSHOP PROCESS
1. INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN AND DIGITAL FABRICATION
Studentswereintroducedtocomputational design and its tools in the workshop's initial phase. They learned algorithmic design using Grasshopper and Python programming via GH-Python. Familiarized with design-to-fabrication, they were then presented with design constraints: the "Active-Bend" system and "Plywood" material, guiding their creative process.
2. FORM DESIGN
During this phase, Students were divided into groups of 3-5, tasked with designing forms using computational design and the design constraints (active-bending system and plywood materials). Leveraging tools like hand sketching, modeling software, and plugins such as Kangaroo and Rhino Vault, they created innovative designs. One design was selected, reworked, and optimized using Kangaroo's Dynamic Relaxation method in Grasshopper. CONNECTING THE LAYERS TO EACH OTHER

3. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
A detailed BIM model was created for digital fabrication, featuring 3D elements. The complex form was divided into expandable strips, consisting of two main layers and a third layer to address CNC limitations. Bending-active structure design required adapted base plates and support. Each element was uniquely shaped and numbered for clarity. Shop drawings generated CNC cutting paths for various material thicknesses: 6mm, 15mm, and 18mm. Experimentation determined 6mm sheets offered optimal bending capability and resilience.
4. FABRICATION PROCESS
Students participated in fabrication, cutting plywood with a 3-axis CNC machine using G-code. Parts were labeled and underwent secondary finishing using sandpaper. A protective coating was applied for durability. Although the digital model showed bent parts, the physical parts were initially flat and bent during assembly.
5. ASSEMBLY PROCESS
Assembly began with the base plate and supports, followed by the installation of strip elements, guided by the weave map from the Grasshopper model. Starting from areas with least curvature, the process progressed systematically towards the highest curved areas. This approach ensured a smooth construction, completed over three days at the University of Tehran.

a fusion of ancient , modern and future architecture
During this camp, with a formal look at Iran's architecture and a Form Follow Form approach, and by creating random changes on the volumes, an attempt has been made to advance the design process improvisationally and without prioritizing performance. For this purpose, first, each person modeled a historical Iranian place in detail. Then people were divided into groups of 3 to 4 people and the work of other group members was changed by them in a rotating and completely random manner to create visual beauty in the form. This process was done using tools in Rhino and scripts in Grasshopper. In the following, he applied the desired changes to the final volume of each form, prepared renderings of his work, and placed the work in its proper context.
The Iranian historical building selected for this project is Amin Abad Caravanserai. This caravanserai is an octagonal building belonging to the Safavid era, located in Isfahan province, 35 km from Shahreza.
DESIGN PROCESS
Form Follow Form is an approach that tries to experience aesthetic formalism in the field of architecture, to make it independent from its external dependencies, including function, and as a result, to try different methods of creating form and different design paths.
