01 Center Of Precious Stones And Metals Academic-Individual Design Studio III Fall 2023-U3 Category: cultural/educational/commercial Size: Medium : Kerman-Iran
Project Description Kerman is one of the country's richest mineral regions, abundant in both metallic and non-metallic resources. These valuable materials, including precious stones and metals such as gold, silver, and copper, are essential for various industries, including jewelry-making and manufacturing. The Kerman Center for Precious Stones and Metals serves as a cultural, educational, and commercial hub dedicated to showcasing and promoting these resources. By analyzing and embracing the unique characteristics of these metals and stones, I have integrated their essence into the building's design.

The center is designed to accommodate a variety of functional zones, each dedicated to specific activities and services, and located in the building based on public access, light, security, and sound considerations. These zones include educational areas for learning and training, commercial spaces for retail and business transactions, production zones where artisanal and crafted items are created, exhibition areas for showcasing work and products, administrative offices for management and operations, and additional spaces such as restrooms, a café, security, and other miscellaneous facilities. This comprehensive layout ensures that the center meets the diverse needs of its users and fosters a vibrant, multi-purpose environment.

Interior Design
In these sections, I aim to illustrate the vertical circulation, void spaces, and functional zones of the center.
For the interior design, I took inspiration from the fractures and sharp edges of stone and used metals to implement these elements in the lobby. I also used metals in various forms throughout the design to demonstrate to visitors the diverse ways they can be utilized.

Ibn Sina Crossroads Academic-Teamwork Urban Design Spring 2024-U4 Size: Large : Kerman-Iran Animation: link
Project Description Ibn Sina is one of the crossroads in Kerman that, due to poor design, has negatively impacted activities and the mental well-being of the residents. The current layout has led to increased traffic congestion, limited pedestrian accessibility, and a lack of spaces for community engagement, which have all contributed to a diminished quality of life. To address these issues, we have been tasked with redesigning this part of the city to meet the needs of the people and ensure it is optimally utilized by individuals of all ages and genders.

Accomodation
Elevations One of the main issues in this area is the difference in building heights, which has led to a messy and uneven skyline, disrupting the visual harmony of the urban landscape. Furthermore, in several buildings, the architectural proportions between windows and other elements are poorly maintained, leading to an imbalance in the façade design. This lack of alignment not only affects the aesthetic appeal but also diminishes the overall cohesion of the neighborhood’s architectural character. Horizontal Connections Vertical Connections
Design Proccess Our urban design strategy focuses on creating a harmonious and functional environment that elevates the quality of life for all residents. We plan to carefully balance building heights, ensuring that key structures like the hospital stand out while maintaining a cohesive architectural aesthetic. The streetscape will be enhanced with clear markings, pedestrian-friendly crossings, and thoughtfully designed sidewalks that incorporate greenery and seating. By introducing new parks, green spaces, and essential amenities such as parking, cafes, and public facilities, we aim to foster a vibrant, inclusive community that meets both practical needs and aesthetic desires.
Key design features include:
1. Building Height: Reduce the number of building floors to two, except for the hospital, to distinguish it from other buildings.
5. Parks and Green Spaces: Add new parks and green areas to enhance the urban landscape.
2. Hospital Redesign:
3. Street Improvements:
Update the hospital’s design to align with modern needs and aesthetics.
Mark the streets and create pedestrian crossings where needed.
6. Parking Facilities:
7. Facade Updates:
Increase parking options to accommodate the needs of residents and visitors.
Change building facades, using materials like brick, concrete, and wood, while distinguishing the hospital with glass.
4. Sidewalk Design:
Design the sidewalk, including paving, creating green spaces, seating areas, etc.
8. Extra
Add cafes, restaurants, bus stops, and other amenities such as trash bins, lights, flower boxes, etc.
Form and Materials In the design, we utilized cubic architecture and incorporated materials such as brick, wood, and concrete, emphasizing a modern aesthetic that blends durability with natural elements. These materials were chosen not only for their structural qualities but also for their ability to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that resonates with the surrounding environment.

Creating Vibrant and Interactive Urban Environments In designing the buildings, we aimed to create spaces that harmonize with the surrounding environment, fostering positive interactions and social engagement. We have included various amenities and recreational facilities to ensure that people can comfortably and enjoyably spend their leisure time in these areas. These enhancements are intended to create a more vibrant, interactive, and appealing urban space for all users.

The Main Part This section of the project represents its central component, encompassing a hospital, park, café, and parking facilities. The park is designed with a variety of features, including seating areas, green spaces, a fountain, and a canopy for shade. It also offers amenities such as lamps and bins, along with designated play areas for both children and adults. Additionally, a bridge crosses over the park, providing a scenic view of the surrounding area, and connects to the hospital, which is strategically positioned to overlook the park.
